What are diagnostic test for heart failure?

CXR: cardiomegaly
ECG: rhythm, wide Qrs?
Echo: value function, ef, wall Motion
Cath: pulmonary pressures, filling pressures, coronary arteries, ef%
Labs: Na / cl ↓, bun / cr/ LFT ↑, rbc ↓, 02/ CO2 ↓, BNP > 100

Define hypertension

Normal: SBP < 120, DBP < 80
Elevated: SBP 120 - 129 , DBP <80
Stage 1 hypertension: SBP 130-139, DBP 80-89
Stage 2 hypertension: SBP > 140, DBP > 90
Hypertensive crisis: SBP > 180, DBP > 120

What are the 3 phases of peri- operative care?

Pre-op, intra-op, post-op

What are nursing responsibilities during pre-op?

Intake an information, history, meds, labs I psychosocial, consent

What is nursing considerations for intra-op?

Safety maintenance, monitoring, communication with family, anticipating and critical thinking, scds, positioning , site prep

What is nursing considerations for post -op?

Frequent assessments, airways, cardio stability, pain and anxiety relief, surgical site, gi function, urine output, ambulate ASAP
Complications! Shock, hemorrhage,DVT, PE,cerebral vascular accident, urinary retention, pneumonia & acteractasis, intestinal obstruction

What are national patient safety goals?

Identify patients correctly, prevent surgical mistakes, improve communication, safe med administration, alarm safety, reduce risk of health care associated infections, identify patient safety risks, improve health care equity

How to calculate iv infusion rate?

Volume to be given / hours to infuse = ml/hr
Or
Volume to be given X 60min / # of mins to be infused = ml/hr

How to calculate drops per minute?

Amount of fluid to be given x drop factor/ time in min= gtt/ min,
Or
1: amount of fluid to be given / hours to be administered = ml/hr
2: ml per hour X drop factor / 60 min = gtt/min

What are AlC levels for diabetes?

> 6.5% = diabetes 5.7 - 6.4 %= prediabetes Below 5.7% = normal

What are blood glucose levels In relation to diabetes?

Fasting = 126 (diabetes), 100 - 125 (prediabetes), 99 or below (normal) Glucose tolerance test= 200 or above (diabetes), 140 - 199 ( prediabetes ), 140 or below (normal)

What would be a sign of diabetes in a urine test?

Ketones or glucose

What is type 1 diabetes?

Autoimmune disorder against insulin Beta cells in pancreas stop producing insulin or do not produce enough to survive Sx: polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia Requires exogenous insulin

What is type 2 diabetes?

Non-insulin dependent Risk factors: overweight/obese, advanced age, family history, Pancreas continues to produce insulin, but not enough or body does not use it properly Insulin resistance, inappropriate hepatic glucose production, altered production of hormones and cytokines by adipose tissue Sx: none, recurrent infection,fatigue, polydipsis, polyuris, polyphasis

What is insulin lispro?

Class: short duration, rapid acting Onset: 5-10 min Peak: 30 - 90 min

What is regular insulin?

Class: short duration, shout acting Onset: 30 min - 1 hour Peak: 2-5 hours

What is NPH insulin?

Class: intermediate acting Onset: 1 - 2 hours Peak: 4-12 hours

What is insulins glargine?

Class: long acting Onset: 1-2 hours Peck: none

What are signs of hypoglycemia?

!COOL AND CLAMMY GIVE THEM CANDY! Pallor, dizziness, headache, shaky, nervous, irritable, hungry, sweaty, blurred vision, confusion, slurred speech, tachycardia, numbness in fingers/ toes/ mouth, severe! Seizure & coma → death

What are signs of hyperglycemia?

!HOT AND DRY SUGAR IS HIGH! ↑ thirst, dry mouth, ↑ urination, weakness, fired, blurred vision, glycosuria, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, sob, loss of consciousness. Severe! DKA/HHS

What are signs of DKA?

Blood glucose > 240 Arterial ph < 7.3 Serum bicarbonate < 15 Presence of ketones in urine or blood Management: iv access for fluids and electrolytes, short acting insulin, O2, K and bicarb for severe acidosis,monitor consciousness, 02, urine, vs S/s: fast breathing, flushed face, frequent urination, dry skin/ mouth, fruity breath, headache, muscle stillness, lethargy/confusion, n/v, abdominal pain

What is HHS?

More common in type 2 diabetes UTIs, pneumonia, sepsis, acute illness, newly diagnosed, Common cormorbidity of infection & dehydration Cx: stroke, heart attack, meds, fluid loss, Labs: ph > 7.3 Plasma glucose > 600 Ketones in urine= none or trace TX: treat ↑ glucose with insulin, aggressive iv fluid for correction of fluid loss, administer electrolytes

What are chronic complications of diabetes?

Retinopathy→ yearly eye exam Nephropathy→ annual urinalysis Neuropathy → daily checks and annual comprehensive exam Cvd» annual visits

What is Cho and connection factors, give an example.

Correction factor - 1:40 >150. The patients blood glucose is 200, now much insulin will you administer? 200 - 150 = 50 50 / 40 = 1.25 → 1.5

What are pediatric cardiac disorders that ↓ pulmonary blood flow?

ASD/VSD → blood mixes and dumps into pulmonary circuit PDA → aortic and pulmonic flow together Av - canal → S/s: Color → pink Respiration → perfort, tachypnea Feel → edema on right side, putty, ↑ liver size
