Name 3 interventions to alleviate HTN
Diet (DASH- low sodium)
Exercise (150 min q week)
Medications
Tissue intact with purple/red bruising (non-blanchable)
What is deep tissue injury
The "sixth sense" or body awareness that allows the brain to understand the body's position, movement, and force in space without visual input
Proprioception
A health care provider prescribes nafcillin (Nafcil) 500 mg po pc; Available on hand is nafcillin 1 g tab (scored). How many tab(s) will you administer per day?
1/2 tablets
Describe the PRICE tool
Protection
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
Name the stage of HTN:
117/80
Stage 1
(120+ or 80+)
Name the risks of aging on tissue integrity:
Decreased collagen, elastin, and perfusion
Decreased sensation to pain perception
etc.
This assessment tool determines mobility level and required assistance before movement.
BMAT (Bedside Mobility Assessment Tool)
A patient weighs 70 kg and is prescribed 12 mg/kg/dose IV q8h.
Available: 1 g/20 mL
16.8 mL per dose
Flexion/Extension (including dorsiflexion and plantar extension)
Abd/Adduction
Pronation/Supination
Circumduction/Rotation
Inversion/Eversion
You looked pretty silly just then

Cautions to take while lowering blood pressure
Hypotension, which can lead to hypoperfusion
Dont lower too quickly
Risks associated with unintentional wounds
Infection and longer healing time (typically present as lacerations rather than incisions, which take longer to heal).
This condition occurs when flexor muscles overpower extensors, leading to permanent joint deformity (ex- foot drop)
Contractures
A patient weighs 82 kg and is prescribed vancomycin 15 mg/kg/dose IV q12h.
The pharmacy supplies vancomycin 500 mg/10 mL.
24.6 mL per dose
A patient takes >12 seconds to stand, walk, and return to sitting. This indicates:
A failed TUG test, showing elevated fall risk
This is the MOST concerning long-term complication caused by endothelial injury from hypertension
What is atherosclerosis leading to cardiovascular disease (e.g., stroke, MI)
Top 3 places to develop a pressure injury when laying suspine
Sacrum, head, heels
(Elbows, shoulders, and hands are also acceptable, though less prone to injury)
Shorter falls present with an increased risk for this kind of injury relative to falls from greater heights
Head injury
A child weighing 27 pounds is prescribed penicillin oral suspension. The ordered dose is 25 mg/kg/day in four divided doses. The suspension that is available is penicillin 125 mg/5 mL. How much should the nurse administer for each dose
3.1 mL
Assessment of the periwound (4 cm of wound) typically consists of taking note of these traits:
Color – Redness (inflammation), pallor (ischemia), or darkening.
Temperature – Warmth (possible infection/inflammation) or coolness (ischemia).
Moisture – Too dry (risk for cracking) or too moist (maceration/skin breakdown).
Texture & Integrity – Induration (hardness), edema, fragile or peeling skin.
Odor/Exudate Impact – Drainage spreading to surrounding skin.
A patient with uncontrolled hypertension develops kidney damage. The specific condition is:
What is nephrosclerosis?
Determine if this is normal and if not, what the proper progression of healing should be:
Day 7 post-op patient presenting with sanguineous leakage from a wound site.
By days 5–14, they should transition to bright pink granulation. (serosanguineous). Sanguineous leakage might indicate continued bleeding at the site and requires surgical attention.
Immobility leads to renal calculi due to:
What is urinary stasis?
A patient is prescribed an antibiotic 40 mg/kg/day IV BID for
postoperative infection prevention. They weighs 68 kg. The pharmacy supplies the drug 1g/mL.
How much will the nurse administer per dose?
1.4 mL
Differences in when to use a sling, cast, splint, and traction
Splint: Used for initial stabilization of fractures or injuries with swelling; allows room for swelling and is often temporary.
Sling: Used to support and immobilize the upper extremity (arm, shoulder, clavicle) for comfort and mild injuries.
Cast: Used for definitive immobilization of fractures after swelling decreases; provides rigid support for proper healing.
Traction: Used to align bones and reduce muscle spasms using a pulling force; often temporary before surgery or for complex fractures.
