+ Electrolytes
This type of solution contains large molecules that do not pass through semi-permeable membranes and remain in the vessels.
Colloid solutions
These are the three phases of general anesthesia.
Induction, maintenance, and emergence
This is the drug class of alemtuzumab.
monoclonal antibodies (+ more broadly: immunotherapy)
This generation of antipsychotics generally displays lower risk of extrapyramidal adverse effects and tardive dyskinesia.
Second generation
The body requires a sufficient amount of this in order for epoetin alfa to be effective.
Iron (Patient may need to take a supplement)
This hypertonic solution can be used to lower ICP after a hemorrhagic stroke.
Mannitol
Propofol is contraindicated in patients with these food allergies.
Eggs and soy
Cytotoxic antineoplastic drugs are most effective against these cells.
Most active against rapidly dividing cells (both normal and malignant). Bone marrow, GI tract lining, and hair follicles are commonly damaged.
Healthy cells usually recover fairly soon but malignant cells have lost normal genetic growth regulation and continue to actively divide in an unregulated way; thus, more of them are susceptible to the effects of cytotoxic drugs.
This lab may be checked periodically in a patient prescribed buprenorphine-naloxone (Suboxone)
LFTs
Why might a provider order an EKG for a patient receiving ondansetron?
may lead to QT interval prolongation - risk for arrythmias
This IV solution can be considered as both hypotonic and isotonic.
D5W
The actions of this drug may persist after anesthesia, leading to residual neuromuscular blockade.
vecuronium
This drug is used with ifosfamide and cyclophosphamide to help prevent hemorrhagic cystitis.
A person experiencing this potentially fatal adverse effect may develop fever, muscle rigidity, respiratory failure, acute kidney failure, and confusion.
neuroleptic malignant syndrome
What is nystatin used to treat?
Candidiasis of skin and mucous membranes
This solution is considered first-line fluid resuscitation option for burn and trauma patients.
Lactated ringers (LR)
The nurse should closely monitor these two vital signs in a patient receiving dexmedetomidine.
BP, HR
List three things the nurse may include when educating a patient on ways to minimize mucositis discomfort.
Brush teeth and rinse mouth frequently (do not brush if platelets < 20,000/mm3 - gingival bleeding risk - use sponges instead). Drink fluids freq. - using straw may be most comfortable. Eat soft/bland/cold foods - avoid spicy. Remove dentures when possible. Inspect mouth daily for inflammation / lesions. Solutions like viscous lidocaine (local anesthetic) can be taken a few minutes before meals.
Name three actions actions the nurse might take once NMS has been identified.
Alert provider, hold further antipsychotics, monitor VS + ABC, administer IV fluids per order, apply cooling blankets/ice packs, may administer dantrolene or benzodiazepines, monitor for any new neuro changes
The nurse would notify the provider if a patient on filgrastim had an ANC greater than...
10,000 cells/mm3
List four potential drugs associated with treatment of hyperkalemia.
sodium bicarbonate, calcium gluconate, insulin + glucose, sodium polystyrene sulfonate (kayexalate)
Isoflurane produces these effects in anesthesia.
Amnesia, skeletal muscle relaxation, and hypnosis
Patients should not receive filgrastim within 24 hours before or after cytotoxic chemotherapy. Why?
Patients should not receive filgrastim within 24 hours before or 24 hours after cytotoxic chemotherapy because it may act as a growth factor for any tumor, particularly of the myeloid type.
These are three cases in which disulfiram is contraindicated.
the drug should not be given to a patient who has consumed alcohol in the past 12 hours, heart disease, psychosis
List three potential side effects of anticholinergic medications.
dry mouth, blurred vision, urinary retention, constipation, acute confusion
