Q

What is the pathophysiology of neonatal hemolytic disease?

A

Destruction of infants RBCs

21
Q

What is the parent teaching for neonatal hemolytic disease?

A
  1. Prepare the parent for the many types of treatments and therapies for their baby
  2. If jaundice is involved, prepare them for the possible treatment of phototherapy
22
Q

What are the mother/fetus blood type combinations that are most likely to lead to hemolytic disease of the newborn?

A

Mother - Rh neg.

Baby - Rh pos.

23
Q

What is the purpose of exchange transfusion?

A

To correct the newborn’s anemia

24
Q

Define indirect and direct Coomb’s Testing

A

Test is performed on babies Rh pos. whose mothers are Rh neg. after delivery to detect if there are any antibodies coating the babies RBCs

This is to be sure that the baby did not develop any antibodies in response to the Rh pos. mother

25
Q

List bleeding precautions:

A
  1. Avoid using razors
  2. Avoid needle sticks
  3. Discontinue aspirin
26
Q

Lab findings for Leukemia:

A

32,000+ WBC count

27
Q

What is the clinical manifestations of Hodgkin’s Disease?

A

Enlarged painless lymphnodes

28
Q

Teaching for Aplastic Anemia:

A

The body has stopped producing NEW RBCs as a result of condition where bone marrow is damaged.
Damage can occur at birth or after cancer treatment

29
Q

S/S of Aplastic Anemia:

A

*Avoid exposure to other people with acute infection
Fatigue
Bleeding
Frequent infections

30
Q

What is the etiology of Sickle Cell Disease:

A

Its inherited (gene has to be present in BOTH mother and father for baby to inherit it)

31
Q

What does the acronym FLACC stand for?

A 
Face
Legs
Activity 
Crying
Consolabilty
32
Q

When is FLACC used?

A

On infants, small children, and non verbal patients

33
Q

Define Somatic pain:

A

Pain that originates from the skin, muscles, and bones

34
Q

List the barriers to adequate treatment:

A
  1. Age Bias
  2. Apprehension to prescribing or taking opioids (concerns for abuse and addiction // restrictiveness of issuing opioids)
  3. Busy hospital environment
35
Q

List the adjuvant pain meds:

A

Stool softeners taken with opiods
Antidepressants
NSAID

36
Q

What are the guidelines to assessing pain?

A

When the patient says there having pain

37
Q

What is an early S/S of hypoxia?

A

Tachnepnia (RR is increased) and restlessness

38
Q

S/S of epiglottitis

A

Dysphasia
Drooling
High fever
Inspiratory strider (high pitch noise when breathing)

39
Q

Characteristics of flail chest:

A

Paradoxical chest movement

40
Q

Pathophysiology of of intrapulmonary shunting:

A

Unoxygenated blood is shunting from the right side of the heart to the left side of the heart and its not oxygenated (its not going through the correct pathway/ prematurely shut off/ bypassed)

41
Q

ABG results in a patient with acute respiratory failure:

A

PaCO2 is greater than 50

PaCo2 is less than 50

42
Q

What is the oxygenation normal range:

43
Q

If oxygen is less than 80 what does it mean?

44
Q

What is the effect of hyperventilation on acid-base balance:

A

Decreased CO2 because they are blowing off Co2 as they are hyperventilating

45
Q

Assesment of fluid balance is through:

A

Intake and output

46
Q

Treatment of SIDAH is:

A

Fluid restriction

47
Q

ADH MOA:

A

Increasing sodium and water absorption in the kidneys

48
Q

Expected lab values in DI:

A

High serum osmolality / low urine osmolality
