Fluids
This is the fluid a nurse hangs during a blood transfusion
What is 0.9% Normal Saline
This refers to a sodium deficit in ECF (serum sodium <135 mEq/L) caused by a loss of sodium or a gain of water
What is hyponatremia
This occur when the carbonic acid or bicarbonate levels become disproportionate
What is Acid-Base imbalances
What are principles of surgical asepsis
This is the result of protrusion of viscera through an incision
What is evisceration
This is the condition that results when a client has excess intravascular fluid
hypervolemia
This may result from renal failure, hypoaldosteronism, or the use of certain medications such as potassium chloride, heparin, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and potassium-sparing diuretics.
What is hyperkalemia (elevated potassium)
These 2 body systems are most responsible for acid-base imbalances. They attempt to compensate for this disorder by either excreting or retaining PaCO2 and/or HCO3− and H+ions.
What are the respiratory system (lungs) and the renal system (kidneys)
This is the person responsible for cleaning the patients bedside table, pumps and any medical equipment attached to the patient
Who is the nurse
This is any lesion caused by unrelieved pressure that results in damage to underlying tissue
what is a pressure ulcer
This is caused by a loss of both water and solutes in the same proportion from the ECF space
What is hypovolemia
This is the result of inadequate calcium intake, impaired calcium absorption, and excessive calcium loss. Symptoms may include: numbness and tingling of fingers, mouth, or feet; tetany; muscle cramps; and seizures.
What is hypocalciumia
These 2 acid/base imbalances are reflected in the PaCO2 level of an ABG
What is respiratory acidosis and alkalosis
These items must be disinfected: bedpans, BP cuffs, stethoscopes, bedside equipment
What are non-critical items
This is the underlying layer that anchors the skin layers to the underlying tissues of the body
What is subcutaneous tissue
This refers to a distributional shift of body fluids into the transcellular compartment, such as the pleural, peritoneal (ascites), or pericardial areas; joint cavities; the bowel; or an excess accumulation of fluid in the interstitial space
What is third spacing (Third space fluid shift)
The decrease in this electrolyte causes fluid to move by osmosis from the less concentrated ECF compartment to the ICF space. This shift of fluid leads to swelling of the cells, with resulting confusion, hypotension, edema, muscle cramps and weakness, and dry skin. Cerebral edema can lead to seizures.
What is sodium
This is the result of alveolar hyperventilation, breathing that is faster and deeper, and the consequent increase in the elimination of CO2. It may be caused by anxiety.
What is respiratory alkalosis
This describes the way to open sterile packages.
What is away from the worker
This is the type of wound that is caused by blunt instrumen;when overlying skin remains intact. Injury occurs to underlying soft tissue; possible resultant bruising and/or hematoma
What is a contusion
These 2 body systems are most closely associated with hypervolemia
What is the respiratory (lungs) and the renal (kidney)
This results from fluid deprivation, lack of fluid consumption, diarrhea, and excess insensible water loss (hyperventilation, burns). The cells of the central nervous system are especially affected, by this resulting in signs of neurologic impairment, including restlessness, weakness, disorientation, delusion, and hallucinations.
What is hypernatremia
This may be the result of excessive acid losses or increased base ingestion or retention. The body attempts to compensate by retaining carbon dioxide. The respirations become slow and shallow, and periods of no breathing may occur. It may be the result of excessive vomiting, or nasogastric drainage
What is metabolic alkalosis
This describes a client with fever, lethargy, malaise, nausea/vomiting, Elevated WBC, Positive cultures and can lead to decreased BP, increased heart rate and respiratory rate and can result is sepsis.
What is a systemic infection
This is the phase of wound healing that follows hemostasis and lasts about 4 to 6 days. White blood cells, predominantly leukocytes and macrophages, move to the wound. Leukocytes arrive first to ingest bacteria and cellular debris. .
What is the inflammatory stage.
