A

gauze, if available, or clean cloth to prevent life-threatening hemorrhage.

49
Q

Traumatic Amputation: positioning of extremity

A

Elevate the extremity above the heart to decrease blood loss

50
Q

Traumatic Amputation: after wrapping in gauze, place in a

A

sealed plastic bag.

51
Q

Traumatic Amputation: Wrap the severed extremity in dry sterile gauze (if available) or in a clean cloth, and place in a sealed plastic bag. Then,

A

Submerge the bag in ice water, and send with the client to the hospital

52
Q

This is the most common Amputation technique used

A

Closed amputation

53
Q

Amputation: Skin flap is sutured over end of residual limb, closing site.

A

Closed amputation

54
Q

This Amputation technique is used when an active infection is present

A

Open amputation

55
Q

Amputation: Skin flap is not sutured over end of residual limb allowing for drainage of infection. Skin flap is closed at a later date

A

Open amputation

56
Q

Amputation: Compare pulse most proximal to incision with

A

pulse in other extremity

57
Q

Phantom limb pain is a frequent complication in clients who experienced

A

chronic limb pain before the amputation

58
Q

Phantom limb pain occurs less frequently following

A

traumatic amputation

59
Q

Administering ___ ___ to relieve the continual dull, burning sensation associated with the Phantom limb pain

A

beta blockers

60
Q

Administering _____ meds may relieve sharp, stabbing, and burning phantom limb pain.

A

anti seizure

61
Q

Amputation: Teach the client how to push the residual limb

A

down toward the bed while supported on a soft pillow

62
Q

Teach the client how to push the residual limb down toward the bed while supported on a soft pillow; it helps to reduce

A

phantom limb pain and prepare the limb for a prosthesis.

63
Q

Amputation: Position the affected extremity in

A

dependent position to promote blood flow/oxygenation

64
Q

Amputation: Residual limb must be ___ and ____ in preparation for prosthetic training.

A

shaped and shrunk

65
Q

Shrinkage interventions: Wrapping the stump, using ____ bandages (figure-eight wrap) to prevent restriction of blood flow and decrease edema

A

elastic

66
Q

Shrinkage interventions: Using an ___ splint (plastic inflatable device)

A

air splint

67
Q

Amputation: A ____ ____ will train client in the application and care of prosthesis and mobility aids

A

physical therapist

68
Q

Flexion contractures are more likely with the ___ or ___ joint following amputation due to improper positioning

A

hip or knee

69
Q

Prevention of Flexion contractures includes range-of-motion (ROM) exercises and proper positioning

A

immediately after surgery

70
Q

after the first 24 hr following amputation surgery avoid

A

elevating the stump on a pillow

71
Q

following amputation surgery: Have the client lie ___ for 20 to 30 min several times a day.

Q

following amputation surgery: Discourage prolonged

A

sitting in a chair

73
Q

Atelectasis: chest x ray shows

density

74
Q

Stroke: occur secondary to a ruptured artery or aneurysm

A

Hemorrhagic

75
Q

Stroke: These occur secondary to the development of a blood clot on an atherosclerotic plaque in a cerebral artery that gradually shuts off the artery and causes ischemia distal to the occlusion

A

Embolic

77
Q

Symptoms of a thrombotic stroke evolve over a period of

A

several hours to days.

78
Q

Embolic stroke: Blood to the brain distal to the occlusion is immediately shut off causing neurologic deficits or a

A

loss of consciousness to instantly occur

79
Q

An embolic stroke may be reversed with a thrombolytic enzyme, such as

A

recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA [Retavase])

80
Q

An embolic stroke may be reversed with a thrombolytic enzyme, such as recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA [Retavase]), if given within

A

4.5 hours of the initial symptoms.

81
Q

Dysrhythmia associated with stroke

A

Atrial fibrillation

82
Q

street Drug associated with stroke

A

coke

83
Q

_____ medication and/or surgical removal of atherosclerotic plaques in the carotid artery can prevent the subsequent occurrence of a stroke.

A

Antithrombotic

84
Q

Stroke: A ___ ___ is used to assess for the presence of blood in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)

A

lumbar puncture

85
Q

Stroke: Teach the client how to use the unaffected side to

A

exercise the affected side of the body.

86
Q

Stroke: ROM

A

passive ROM for affected side

active ROM for unaffected side

87
Q

Stroke: Teach the client to massage the affected hand by stroking it in a

A

distal to proximal manner, encouraging fluid in the hand to move back into the wrist and arm.

88
Q

Stroke: Instruct the client to dress the affected side

A

first and sit in a supportive chair that aids in balance

89
Q

Shoulder subluxation can occur if the affected arm is not

A

supported

90
Q

Stroke: Use of ____ is controversial and not recommended due to the high risk of

Stroke: thrombolytic therapy is contraindicated for treatment of a __ stroke

A

hemorrhagic

92
Q

Possibility of a hemorrhagic stroke is ruled out with an ___ prior to the initiation of thrombolytic therapy

A

MRI

93
Q

After stroke: If the gag reflex is present, give the client a

A

small sip of water to determine if choking occurs

94
Q

After stroke: f the client exhibits some difficulty managing food or fluids, a swallowing evaluation should be done by a
