Q

Trendelenburg position

A

HOB lower than foot of bed.
Supine. treat hypotensive episodes.

25
Q

For obese hypotensive patients

A

Raising the legs without doing a full Trendelenburg may help without causing breathing difficulties.

26
Q

Immobility and Integumentary system

A

Decreased perfusion to skin
skin breakdown

27
Q

immobility and Musculoskeletal

A

Pain
Joint and tissue contracture
Calcium loss
Deconditioning
Balance impairment
Compression

28
Q

Immobility and Cardiopulmonary

A

Peripheral edema
Aerobic deconditioning
Decreased air exchange
Cardiopulmonary compromise

29
Q

Immobility and Neurological

A

Vestibular impairment
Neuromuscular deconditioning

30
Q

Immobility and other

A

Urinary infection
Depression

31
Q

Primary objective of long term positionoing

A

prevent negative effects of long-term immobility and promote overall well-being.

32
Q

Fowler’s Postion

A

head of bed elevated to 45 degrees to 60

33
Q

Low Fowler’s postion

A

HOB elevated to 30 to 45 degrees.

34
Q

sidelying position and lungs

A

can promote drainage of lungs.

35
Q

High Fowler’s postion

A

HOB 80 or 90 degrees.

36
Q

Immobile joints

A

cause stiffness and decreased ROM

37
Q

Contractures

A

limitations in joint movement caused by adaptive shortening in the ligaments, tendons, and muscles.

38
Q

DVT

A

deep vein thrombosis
Localized pain, warmth, redness and swelling.

39
Q

embolus

A

thrombus that has broken loose. May lodge in pulmonary artery.

40
Q

Pressure Injury

A

Bed sore 2.5 million a year in the U.S. 60,000 deaths. Ischemia caused. deep tissue tolerate pressure for two hours or less.

41
Q

Pressure injury Load Pressure and time

A

Load: The load is the patient’s body weight
Pressure: the surface area over which the pressure is distributed. Increasing the surface area decreases the pressure.
Time: even a low load over a lengthy enough time can cause breakdown.

42
Q

Heal pressure

A

particularly vulnerable to pressure sores do to small area and thinness of tissue over calcaneus.

43
Q

Sacrum pressure

A

Another particularly vulnerable site to pressure sores

44
Q

Friction and shear`

A

moving patients in bed by pulling or sliding them can create friction and shearing forces between the layers of the skin. Lead to sores.

45
Q

High risk areas for skin breakdown supine

A

Occiput
scapulae
spinous processes
elbows
sacrum/coccyx
Ischial tuberosities
Lateral malleoli
Heels

46
Q

High risk areas for skin breakdown prone

A

Ear/side of face
chin
anterior surface of shoulders
Iliac crests and anterior superior iliac spines of the pelvis
anterior of knees
dorsal of feet

47
Q

High risk area for skin breakdown of sidelying

A

Ear or side of face
Humeral head
Hip or greater trochanter
Lateral femoral condyle - inferior legs
Medial femoral condyles both legs.
lateral malleolus (outside ankle)
Medial malleolus
(both ankles)

48
Q

High risk areas sitting of skin breakdown

A

Occiput - high backed chair
scapulae
spinous processes
Elbows
sacrum
ischial tuberosities
heels

49
Q

blanching test

A

how quickly pressed on skin turns back to pink.

50
Q

Redness rule

A

redness that persists more than 20 min after pressure relief indicates that the body has not yet recovered from previous pressure load.

51
Q

Fowler’s position point of pressure

A

sacrum
Low fowler’s is recommended

52
Q

Repositioning

A

standard practice for relieving pressure

53
Q

Longest in one position

A

2 hours.

54
Q

Long term positioning supine

A

knees are only slightly flexed to prevent contracture.
additional cushioning may be necessary for scapulae and head if immobile. place pillows under calves to suspend heels. Means to call for help.

55
Q

Patient’s trunk rotation in long term positioning of sidelying

A

if trunk is forward place pillow in front of patient
If trunk is back place pillow behind patient. place superior arm on pillow in in a nearly extended position.

56
Q

sacral sitting

A

increased risk of breakdown

57
Q

Hip replacement positioning

A

no hip flexion beyond 70 to 90 degree
No hip adduction beyond 0 degree
No internal rotation beyond 0 degree

58
Q

Pattern of tightness after CVA can include:

A

Scapular retraction
shoulder adduction, flexion, and internal rotation
Elbow, wrist and finger flexion
Hip adduction, flexion and internal rotation
Knee flexion
Ankle plantar flexion

59
Q

CVA positioning recomendations

A

sitting up or sidelying on non-hemiparetic side
Supine with HOB flat is not recommended
Sidelying on hemiparetic side is rarely recommended
.

60
Q

Supine after CVA

A

Elevate HOB 30 degree
Pillow under affected shoulder blade
Head neck and trunk in neutral alignment
elevate the flaccid arm
Use pillows to guard against knee flexion and elevate wrist and hand of affected side.

61
Q

avoid contractures in LE amputations

A

for transfemoral amputation - Occasional positioning in prone helps prevent flexion contractures.

For transtibial do keep hips in neutral rotation, do extend the knee do minimize sitting time with knee flexed. Do not let residual limb hang. Do not place pillow under thigh Do not place pillow under low back. Do not allow knees to be flexed for long periods Do not allow patient to cross legs for long periods.

62
Q

Heel suspension braces or boots

A

prevent breakdown

63
Q

restraint

A

any device, material or manual method that limits a client’s ability to move the arms, legs, body or head freely.

only be used as a last resort under orders.
