Blood Clots
Leg pain, swelling, warmth, and Homan’s sign on dorsiflexion suggest DVT risk.
What is Deep Vein Thrombosis (Assessment)?
Low serum Ca²⁺ causing tetany, Chvostek’s/Trousseau’s signs, and cardiac dysrhythmias.
what is Hypocalcemia?
Catecholamine‑secreting adrenal tumor causing episodic hypertension, headache, sweating, and tachycardia.
what is Pheochromocytoma?
Ingested objects that can obstruct, perforate, or cause bleeding—often require endoscopic removal.
what is foreign bodies in GI Tract?
Intact skin with non‑blanchable erythema indicating early tissue damage over a bony prominence.
what is stage 1 pressure injury?
Confirm with duplex ultrasound showing noncompressible vein and/or D‑dimer elevation.
What is Deep Vein Thrombosis (diagnosis)?
Excess Ca²⁺ causing polyuria, constipation, stones, groans, and psychiatric overtones (fatigue, confusion).
what is hypercalcemia?
Excess thyroid hormone causing weight loss, heat intolerance, palpitations, and tremor.
what is hyperthyroidism?
Esophageal motility disorder with failure of LES relaxation causing dysphagia to solids and liquids and bird‑beak on barium swallow.
what is Achalasia?
Full‑thickness skin loss extending into subcutaneous tissue but not through underlying fascia, possibly with tunneling.
what is stage 3 pressure injury?
Generate an anticoagulation strategy and consider IVC filter if anticoagulation contraindicated.
What is Deep Vein Thrombosis (Plan)?
IV solution (e.g., 0.9% NaCl, LR) with same osmolality as plasma, used for volume replacement.
what is isotonic fluid?
Insufficient thyroid hormone resulting in weight gain, cold intolerance, bradycardia, and lethargy.
what is hypothyroidism?
Protrusion of stomach through the diaphragm into the chest, often causing reflux and epigastric discomfort.
what is Hiatal Hernia?
Full‑thickness tissue loss with exposed muscle, tendon, or bone, often with undermining and sinus tracts.
what is stage 4 pressure injury?
Initiate heparin bridging to warfarin or start DOAC therapy while monitoring bleeding risk.
What is Deep Vein Thrombosis (implement)?
IV solution (e.g., 0.45% NaCl) with lower osmolality than plasma, used to correct intracellular dehydration.
what is a hypotonic fluid?
Inflammation of the thyroid gland, often painful (subacute) or painless (silent), causing transient hyper‑ or hypothyroidism.
what is thyroiditis?
Nasogastric tube placed through the nose into stomach for decompression, feeding, or medication administration.
what is NGT Tube?
Full‑thickness tissue loss with base covered by slough or eschar, preventing accurate depth assessment.
what is unstageable pressure injury
Assess clot resolution and bleeding complications through serial ultrasounds and labs.
What is Deep Vein Thrombosis (evaluation)?
IV solution (e.g., 3% NaCl) with higher osmolality than plasma, used to reduce cerebral edema or severe hyponatremia.
what is a hypertonic fluid?
Excess PTH secretion causing hypercalcemia, bone resorption, kidney stones, and polyuria.
what is hyperparathyroidism?
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy feeding tube placed directly into stomach for long‑term enteral nutrition.
