Acute Care Flashcards
Type of bed used when skeletal stability and alignment are desired; to permit a patient to be turned horizontally from prone to supine or from supine to prone
Turning frame
Patients who use a ventilator can participate in various types of exercise and other bedside activities, including sitting and ambulation.
The patient must be informed of the activity, and the caregiver must be certain the tubing is of a sufficient length to allow the physical activity to be performed.
Both statements are correct
Most ventilators, also known as respirators, currently use positive pressure to move gas outside the patient’s lungs.
The purpose of a ventilator is to maintain adequate and appropriate air exchange when normal respiration is inhibited or cannot be actively performed by the patient.
Only 2nd statement is correct
This oxygen delivery mask encloses the patient’s trunk and head may be used, especially if the patient is restless, very young, uncooperative, or extremely ill.
Tent
Type of bed designed to maintain a seriously injured patient in a stable position and maintain proper postural alignment through the use of adjustable bolsters.
Posttrauma Mobility Beds
The following are complications associated with Intravenous Therapy EXCEPT:
a.Erythema
b.Allergic reaction
c.Air embolism
d.Local infection
d.Local infection
This is used to remove air, blood, purulent matter, or other undesirable material from the patient’s chest or pleural cavity.
Chest drainage
Type of ventilator that is used primarily for patients who require long-term support.
Volume-Cycled Ventilators
This catheter is inserted directly into the bladder through an incision in the lower abdomen and bladder
Suprapubic catheter
Type of ventilator that delivers a predetermined, established maximum pressure of gas during respiration, and the inspiratory phase ends when that level is reached.
Pressure-Cycled Ventilators
The following patient factors should be considered beforeand during patient treatment in special care environment EXCEPT
Patient rapport
This monitor measures the pressure exerted against the skull by brain tissue, blood, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It is used for patients who have experienced a closed head injury, a cerebral hemorrhage, a brain tumor, or an overproduction of CSF
Intracranial Pressure Monitor
A urinary catheter can be applied internally (i.e., an indwelling catheter) or externally. The external urinary catheter is used successfully both in male and female patients.
Only 1st statement is correct
The mode of ventilation where the inspiration phase of respiration begins at timed intervals based on the patient’s need for gas.
Control mode
This mode of ventilation allows the ventilation cycle to be coordinated with the patient’s own breathing cycle.
Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation mode
The purposes of this tube includes removing fluid or gas from the stomach and gastrointestinal(GI) tract and evaluating digestive function and activity in the GI tract.
Nasogastric tube
Exercise of the lower extremities can be performed by a patient with a catheter as long as the caregiver avoids disconnection, stretching, or occlusion of the drainage tube.
During transport, the urinary bag should be placed on the lap to avoid any backflow or leakage.
Only 1st statement is correct
This is a long plastic IV tube that can be inserted into the internal jugular or the femoral vein, guided into the basilic or subclavian vein, and then passed into the pulmonary artery.
Swan-Ganz Catheter
This catheter continuously measure blood pressure or to obtain blood samples without repeated needle punctures, and it usually provides accurate measurements.
A line
T or F: The caregiver should ensure that the IV bag is above the level of the heart when moving the patient to prevent reflux of the IV fluid.
True
Heated, pressurized air flows through the beads to suspend a polyester cover that supports the patient.
AIR-FLUIDIZED SUPPORT BED (CLINITRON)
have several segmented and separated air bladders that allow the limited escape of air
LOW AIR LOSS THERAPY BED
use positive pressure to move or propel gas or air into the patient’s lungs
MECHANICAL VENTILATORS
is a plastic IV tube used to measure pressures in the right atrium or the superior vena cava
CENTRAL VENOUS PRESSURE CATHETER
is inserted through the cephalic or internal jugular vein and passes through the superior vena cava to near the tip of the right atrium
INDWELLING RIGHT ATRIAL CATHETER (HICKMAN)
This mode is used most frequently for patients who require low to moderate concentrations of oxygen
Nasal Cannula
used for short periods when moderate concentrations of oxygen are desired
Oronasal Mask
