Electrolytes
Assessment of this body system is the most important for hyperkalemia, hypercalcemia, and hypo magnesia
Cardiac
The nurse should instruct the patient to do this during removal of a PICC line.
Valsava maneuver
This breathing pattern produces respiratory alkalosis
Hyperventilation
To ensure patients can safely care for themselves at home, this is the best way to test their knowledge
Teach-back/return demonstration
Dehydration causes an increase in the levels of these two lab values that are associated with the kidney
BUN and creatinine
Assessment of this body system is the most important for hyponatremia
Neurological
The patient with fluid volume overload should be placed in this position
Semi-fowler's or high fowler's
Vomiting produces this type of acid base imbalance
Metabolic alkalosis
An A+ patient can receive blood from these blood groups
A-, A+, O-, O+
When the body is losing blood, the heart rate does this
Increases
Low calcium levels can be assessed using these two physical assessment techniques
Chvostek's sign and Trousseau's sign
This is a painful site to start an IV and should be avoided
Anterior wrist
Overuse of this over-the-counter medication can produce metabolic alkalosis
Antacids
Post-op care includes monitoring for separation of all layers of the wound. The term for this is_________
Evisceration
This over-the-counter medication is an anticoagulant
Aspirin
This type of diuretic is potassium-wasting and can also remove other electrolytes from the blood
Lasix/furosemide
A diet rich in iron would include what types of food?
Meat, eggs, legumes, dark green vegetables
Shallow respirations produce this type of acid base imbalance
Respiratory acidosis
After administering opioid or anxiolytic medications, the nurse institutes this type of precautions
Safety
Wound healing requires these nutrients
Protein, vitamin C, zinc
This electrolyte is usually elevated when calcium is decreased, and vice versa
Phosphate/phospherous
These two types of IV fluids are appropriate for a patient in sickle cell crisis
Hypotonic and isotonic
Hypernatremia may be caused by this fluid volume imbalance
Dehydration
Interventions to address complications of spinal, intrathecal, or epidural analgesia should only be managed by these people
Anesthesia providers
Consent obtained via telephone or by witnessing someone make an "x" must be witnessed by this number of people
