Did you know there is an association between low-set ears and renal anomalies? Now you know what to look for if down's isn't there to choose. (just to expand on it a little, the kidneys and ears develop around the same time in utero. Hence, they're shaped similarly. Which is why when doing an assessment of a neonate, if the nurse notices low set or asymmetrical ears, there is good reason to investigate renal functioning. Knowing that the kidneys and ears are similar shapes helped me this).

A child with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt

A child with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt will have a small upper-abdominal incision. This is where the shunt is guided into the abdominal cavity, and tunneled under the skin up to the ventricles. You should watch for abdominal distention, since fluid from the ventricles will be redirected to the peritoneum. You should also watch for signs of increasing intracranial pressure, such as irritability, bulging fontanels, and high-pitched cry in an infant. In a toddler watch lack of appetite and headache. Careful on a bed position question! Bed-position after shunt placement is flat, so fluid doesn't reduce too rapidly. If you see s/s of increasing i, then raise the hob to 15-30 degrees.

Tet spells are characterized by a sudden, marked increase in cyanosis followed by syncope, and may result in hypoxic brain injury and death. Older children will often squat during a tet spell, which increases systemic vascular resistance and allows for a temporary reversal of the shunt.

1047.

Intermittent claudication

think arterial vs venous-this is arterial-position leg dependently

1048.

arterial

skin shines

1049.

arterial issues

put your legs down-so blood flows down-like an A (artery)

1050.

venous issues

like a V-put them up-so blood can go up

1051.

Heart Failure

-pumping issue; give Lasix and Digoxin (help with pumping)

1052.

electrical conduction system issue

1053.

INFILTRATION

IV site painful and swollen

1054.

blood reaction

send blood and tubing to the lab

1055.

New Trach

DO NOT remove the ties before cleaning the tracheostomy-wrong-stoma is not formed yetrisk of stoma closing and airway impacted

1056.

all tracheostomies

dont cut the gauze; need a pre cut gauze

1057.

C3 spinal fracture

airway is your issue

1058.

if you see a presenting part for a baby for a labor pt in ER

prepare delivery room-priority

1059.

pt found on the floor

assess vital signs and LOC first, not injuries assessment first (if pt was conscious before the fall-vitals will tell us the most about the client; unconscious pt would not have been found on the floor-they cannot get up-most likely they rails are up)

1060.

NCLEX wont test

chemo drugs

1061.

NCLEX will test

Eriksson but not Piaget, high pressure alarms

1062.

obese client that vomits after surgery-will increase pressure in the abdomen, at more risk for

Adhehicence

1063.

Disaster prioritization

Priority pt-pt with burns on the face, with respiratory stridor; fixed pupil and agonal respirations-will not live, so not a priority

1064.

LPN

can give report during a transfer can take VS in a transfusion client, after RN has stayed with client for first 15 min or the necessary initial time

1065.

pt after MVA on balanced suspension traction

disorientation is a priority; not shallow respirations

1066.

ECT

before: withhold Dilantin; Atropine IS given- for its anticholinergic effects-will lower the secretions in the mouth; ECT causes seizures-we don't want them to have fluids in mouth-risk for aspiration; Methohexital- possible given for amesthesia; also Succinylcholine-possible given

1067.

knee arthroplasty-1 week ago

post op-for 4 to 6 weeks blood thinners are given throughout the recovery; also if pt was on blood thinners prior to arthroplasty, he won't be taken off these meds, because they are lying down (postop) so they are at risk for cloths; they won't be taking NSAIDs-they are on blood thinners; Motrin vs Lortab?

1068.

pt that had a catheter in before, now catheter is out and pt cannot peeintervention

assessment FIRST-so do a bladder scan first; (full bladder-dull sounds when you percuss); anesthesia can cause decreases ability to urinate

1069.

if chest tube is disconnected

immerse the end of chest tube in a bottle of sterile water-this will prevent the air going into the chestcreates a water sill

1070.

new dx of RA-Methotrexate order

this drug is used in CA patients as well-but its not a chemo drug associated with this drug: WBC low- possible 1200, stomatitis-sores and difficulty in the mouth-hard to eat, fever above 101 can be caused (fever is only above 101 F), increased urine specific gravity-they are not eating or drinking-dehydration occurs; low platelets; also pts are advised to take Folic Acid with this drug-it causes a depletion of dolic acid

1071.

three point crutches

unaffected leg first, then crutches 6 inches forward

1072.

2 point leg

R foot and the L crutch go first together; L foot and the R crutch after at same time-m0ve the other ones

1073.

swing through gait

crutches forward, lift both feet and swing forward

1074.

Tetralogy of Fallot

4 issues here: ventricular septal defect, right ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonic stenosis, overriding aorta, there is a whole in the septum; this will impact blood getting around the body

1075.

TPN pt- to prevent fluid volume deficit

monitor glucose q 4-6 hrs-if the glucose is up-dehydration (osmotic diuresis)

1076.

incident reports

risk management investigates these, they are not shared with non involved staff, include description of incidents in the reports

1077.

medication reconciliation

contains documented meds taken by client, comparrison of current and past meds list; this list is done at any change in care..not only at ission and discharge; the purpose is to avoid errors of duplication, missing some meds etc; also the pharmacy has a role in this, not only the RN

1078.

Autocratic manager

"do this, don't ask any questions"; employees have little to say; these managers are good in critical situations

1079.

Laissez Faire manager

disorganized floor, chaotic environment, employees make the decisions

1080.

Democratic manager

decisions are made as a group , employees ARE asked their opinions

1081.

UAP

CANNOT encourage to share feelings-this requires therapeutic communications-RN has the skills to do this CANNOT get a urine specimen from a indwelling catheter-this is sterile CAN assist with ambulating the client; CAN empty the suction container, but RN has to assess the fluid collected

1082.

LPN
