Cardiovascular Alterations
Peripheral edema, jugular vein distension, severe fatigue, and weight gain are associated with this disease.
What are manifestations of right sided heart failure?
A client with this diagnosis should avoid fresh flowers, uncooked fruits/vegetables and live vaccines
What are precautions for neutropenia?
Aspiration, nutritional deficit, dehydration, dislodgement, kinks, clogs, and infection may occur.
What are potential complications of enteral feeding?
Deconditioning, pressure injury, infection/PNA, disuse syndrome, constipation, and DVT are associated with this.
What are risks of immobility?
This cardiac rhythm has a regular rate between 60-100; a P wave before every QRS; normal PR interval, QRS width, and QT interval.
What is Normal Sinus Rhythm?
Low blood pressure, tachycardia, delayed capillary refill, cool skin temperature, and pallor are signs of this problem.
What are common signs of decreased perfusion?
Fatigue, weakness, pallor, hypotension, tachycardia, delayed cap. refill, shortness of breath are expected abnormal findings
What are manifestations of anemia?
Meeting the nutritional needs of client who is NPO and has a non-functional GI system
Type of client eligible for parenteral feeding?
This condition primarily affects large joints asymmetrically, mainly due to wear and tear.
What is Osteoarthritis?
In this cardiac arrhythmia, the atria beat fast and irregularly; there are no discernible P waves on the rhythm strip
What is atrial fibrillation?
Dyspnea, orthopnea, a chronic cough, and fatigue are associated with this disease
What are manifestations of left-sided heart failure?
An inherited blood disorder in which hemoglobin cells become crescent-shaped and cause severe health complications.
What is Sickle Cell Disease?
Fluid volume overload/deficit, electrolyte imbalance, dislodgment of catheter, and CLABSI
What are potential complications of parenteral feedings?
A client who is post-op for an amputation of a limb often experiences this.
What is Phantom pain?
Characterized by a "saw tooth" pattern; has multiple P-waves for each QRS
What is A-flutter?
This circulatory problem results in decreased perfusion to the extremities due to narrowed arteries.
What is peripheral arterial disease?
The term for an abnormally low platelet count <150K
What is Thrombocytopenia?
The RN will closely monitor intake/output & electrolyte trends of a client with exacerbation of IBD and monitor for imbalance
A client with an exacerbation of Ulcerative colitis is at risk for which complication?
This painful, autoimmune disease causes the body's immune system to attack the joint lining and has systemic effects.
What is Rheumatoid arthritis?
A life-threatening rhythm due to decreased CO. No visible P waves; QRS is wide, rate is fast
What is Ventricular Tachycardia?
Vtach
Pain, increased calf circumference, and erythema are manifestations of this.
What are manifestations of a DVT?
Febrile, hemolytic, allergic, and fluid overload are possible reactions.
What are the types of blood transfusion reactions?
An inflammatory bowel disease-> affects all layers of bowel wall->"skip lesions" along GI tract->Risk for infection, leaks, obstruct.
What is Crohn's Disease?
Assessing pulse, capillary refill, and sensory function are part of M/S injury/surgery plan of care.
What are components of neurovascular assessment?
A life threatening rhythm where client will have no pulse. Treated with CPR, Defibrillation, epinephrine, amiodarone
What is Ventricular fibrillation?
