Cellular Regulation & other
Early warning signs of cancer
A sore that does not heal
obvious changes in a mole
persistent indigestion & problems swallowing
unexpected WT loss
Demeclocycline use
Chronic SIADH
it blocks the action of ADH which leads to water retention and low sodium levels which increases urine output
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
interventions
monitoring vitals & bleeding
administering fluids and blood products or frozen plasma
practicing bleeding precautions, wound care
respiratory support
effective communication
Oliguric phase VS diuretic phase of AKI
Oliguric phase-Urine output greater300 ml/day
elevated K+ hypotension form dehydration
Diuretic phase-decreasing BUN/Creatinine, high urine output with dilute urine
Intervention for a protruding Stoma
place in supine position to reduce pressure
support with a moist dressing
assess circulation to stoma
monitor for changes in output notify provider for instructions or intervention
swelling, fatigue, and dark urine after strep throat are what condition give nursing interventions and outcomes for it
acute poststreptooccal glomerulonephritis
restrict sodium intake
monitor BP
decreased edema
BP stabilized
dark urine-hematuria
A priority concern in AKI labs
rising K+ which is the most life threatening electrolyte imbalance associated with AKI, which lead to cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death
hemotherapy-induced neutropenia infection precautions
Frequent hand washing, wash fresh fruits & vegetables thoroughly
cook foods well
Assessment for GI Bleed is priority
Hemoglobin 8.8 g/dl shows high anemia
Finding related to portal hypertension
Hematemesis
Splenomegaly
Ascites
Escophageal varices
Complication of bone cancer
Pathologic fracture shown by new onset of severe pain in extremity affected
bone cancer weakens the structure of the bone which becomes brittle
Renal Trauma nursing Action
prioritize immediate life threats airway breathing
address circulation and shock
manage client's status for potential intervention
Lg bore IV, Keep NPO,
Monitor and diagnose urine output
CT scan
S/S of Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Easy bruising, petechiae, and purport with platelet count below 200,000/mm3
priority treatment for DIC
Correcting underlying problem once trigger is removed the DIC corrects itself
Main treatment for hemophilia
IV infusion of specific clotting factor That is deficient in the patient's blood which helps with clotting
interventions to help cancer patients eat
Eat small frequent meals
nutrient dense foods
add nutrition supplements
instant breakfast packet sprinkled on cereals
Pyelonephritis education
finish all meds
maintain good hygiene sipping front to back
urination frequently
seek immediate care if fever, chills or vomiting return
Most common cause of acute glomerulonephritis
Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal infection 2-3 weeks prior
Primary pathology of diabetes insipidus
Deficient production or secretion of ADH or decreased renal response to ADH
Neurological manifestations of severe hypothyroidism
Impaired memory, slowed speech, decreased initiative and somnolence
When should you do imaging for pyelonephritis
it no response for antibiotic treatment of obstruction is suspected
prevention for cystitis
encourage drinking 8-12 glasses of fluid daily to flush the bladder
Why use a catheter for renal trauma
to allow close observation of urinary output and monitor for bleeding
IV intervention for acute diabetes insipidus
Hypotonic saline or dex 5% in water D5W
Nursing intervention for TPN
Check blood glucose
