Central lines
This is the approximate blood flow rate in the superior vena cava (SVC) where central vascular access devices are typically placed
2 liters per minute
Patients with psorasis should be monitored for infection if they are this type on medication
Biologics like Etanercept
This the mainreason or critical action alert regarding the use of "donut-shaped pillows" for pressure injury prevention
They can damage capillaries and because of this are not recommended
These specific symptoms differentiates Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) deficiency anemia from Folic Acid deficiency anemia
numbness and tingling or Neurological symptoms
This life-threatening condition is genetic and characterized by high fevers and muscle rigity
MH
This vein is generally preferred for the insertion of a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC)
Basilic vein
This intervention is recommended to prevent dry skin and worsen itching
Patting the skin dry
This is cited is the primary cause of pressure injuries (bed sores)?
Prolonged pressure leading to diminished blood flow and tissue cell death
This specific type of anemia is primarily caused by a lack of intrinsic factor, a protein necessary for absorption
B12 Deficiency Anemia
When a client in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) after general anesthesia, the nurse's first priority for assessment
Airway patency and O2 saturation
This position is preferred for safe removal of a PICC
Trenledberg or supine
A person with psoriasis, sheds their skin cells at this rate instead of the normal rate of 28 days
3-4 days
This is the biggest risk factor for developing pressure injuries
immobility
This is identified as the most common cause of anemia globally
Iron deficiency
This accurately describes the nurse's primary legal role regarding informed consent for a surgical procedure
witness signature
This significant insertion complication associated with other central venous catheters (CVCs) is noted to not occur with PICCs
Pneumothorax
This is the reason why commercial tanning beds not recommended for phototherapy treatment of psoriasis
They have inconsistent UV output and increase skin cancer risk.
It is the recommended minimum frequency for repositioning to prevent pressure injuries
every 2 hours
This primary abnormal protein found in red blood cells of individuals with Sickle Cell Disease
Hemoglobin S
This is the priority nursing action in an evisceration
Cover the organ with sterile gauze and sterile saline Have the client bend the knees
This is the minimum barrel syringe size recommended for flushing any central line to prevent catheter rupture
10 mL
This key symptom characteristic of a scabies infestation
Intense itching, often worse at night.
These two forces are specifically identified as exacerbating (worsening) pressure injuries by cutting off blood supply
Friction and shearing
This is approximate lifespan of a sickled red blood cell in Sickle Cell Disease
10- 20 days
This is done to reduce the risk of aspiration during anesthesia
NPO status
