406 Midterm Flashcards
Break up the presentation/question into parts (cues) to determine meaning (i.e. normal vs. abnormal). Identify cues.
Analyzing
Cluster cues to determine meaning
Analyzing
Generates hypotheses
Analyzing
Use research based standards/rules to rule in or rule out hypothesis
Applying standards
NDX defining characteristics, related factors and risk states; patho
Applying standards
Making a judgment as to “fit”
Applying standards
Look for differences and similarities
Discriminating
Does this help confirm or disconfirm hypothesis
Discriminating
Do you need Lab data? Further physical assessment?
Information seeking
Draw conclusions
Logical reasoning
If this then probably that
Logical reasoning
Confirm or disconfirm DX
Logical reasoning
Predict potential patient problems and envision a plan & desired outcomes .
Predicting
How will this prob/plan affect patient safety? If I do this then….
Predicting
How will you recognize this same concept/problem in other situations?
Transforming knowledge
Are you confident in your reasoning abilities?
Confidence
Have you considered the entire context of this problem? Age, co-morbidities, medication, etc
Contextual perspective
Were you creative when you generated or restructured ideas? Did you think of alternatives?
Creativity
Did you consider multiple possibilities? Did you get stuck on one train of thought?
Flexibility
Were you eager to correctly interpret the situation/problem and did you use observation and thoughtful questioning to explore possibilities?
Inquisitiveness
Did you use research-based process and research-based criteria to interpret the situation/problem?
Intellectual integrity
Guessing without a basis for deriving meaning does not count
Intellectual integrity
Did you recognize anything that seemed familiar from past experiences?
Intuition-pattern recognition
Were you open to other possible interpretations of the situation/data?
Open-mindedness
Did you constantly reflect on your thinking, assumptions, and decisions to assure accurate interpretation of data

Informatics
Use information and technology to communicate, manage knowledge, mitigate error, and support decision making
What’s wrong with this order: 10 mg morphine, IM, Q4h, prn for pain
the dose is too high
Acute cholecystitis: clear liquid diet; progress to low fat as tolerated
Wrong. Patient should be NPO until bowel sounds return
What’s wrong with the order: O2 per protocol to maintain POX at 95%
not specific; need to know the rate and dose
Cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis: before the dangle at the side of the bed
give pain medication
2 days post op, consideration for temperature
Normal for it to be elevated slightly at this point
What is the GI complication of morphine
constipation
what is the serious complication that a d-dimer test can rule out
PE
MI case: Yes or No: Basal metabolic panel
Yes
MI case: Yes or No: PT and PTT
Yes
MI case: Yes or No: bilirubin
No
MI case: Yes or No: Urinalysis
Yes (to assess kidney function)
MI case: Yes or No: Type and crossmatch for 2 units of packed RBCs
No
MI case: Yes or No: chest x ray on admission and in morning
Yes
MI case: besides pain management, why give morphine?
Increases cardiac perfusion (by decreasing O2 demand)
primary MI NDX
Alteration in cardiac tissue perfusion r/t myocardial ischemia secondary to coronary artery occlusion
