A

*Temporary or long-term - bladder is continually draining upon - upon insertion a balloons inflated to keep catheter in place in base of bladder - attached to bag the urine drains into - increased risk of infection due to continual access to urethra and bacteria can crawl in bladder

Q

Tertiary intention wound

A

Would is left open for a while because of infection or drainage and is closed at a later time

71
Q

Stages of Wound Healing:

A

*Hemostasis: wound stops bleeding
*Inflammatory: body reacts to injury - WBC’s and histamine go to site
*Proliferative: Healing begins - granulation tissue forms and wound will start to get smaller
*Remodeling: Final scar forms

72
Q

Wound Complications:

A

*Hemorrhage or bleeding
*Infection
*Dehiscence: Layers of skin and tissue separate - primary intention - not uncommon
*Evisceration: Layers of skin, tissue, or muscle separate and organs are exposed - emergency - not common

73
Q

Debridement

A

If wound has excess eschar or slough it will need to be removed so granulation tissue can come in

74
Q

Mechanical Debridement

A

Packing wounds with progressively wet to dry dressings - as dressing dries it pulls some of the dead tissue then when we remove it

75
Q

Autolytic Debridment

A

WBC’s eat any necrotic tissue - when dressings are removed they’re very wet and full of exudate

76
Q

Chemical Debridement

A

Prescription creams can be put into wounds to chemically remove necrotic tissue (eschar) - might be used in addition to wet to dry dressings

77
Q

Sharp or Surgical Debridement

A

Wound and ostomy nurses can do this bedside but if there’s a lot of dead tissue the client may have go into surgery - nurse cuts away eschar, slough, or any dead tissue with a scalpel or scissors

78
Q

Plain, Simple Dressing

A

Never use non-adherent dressing these can stick to the wound and when removed further damage the skin or cause new tissue to tear especially in older clients

79
Q

Wet to Dry dressing

A

Often used in sterile technique - moist gauze is placed at base of wound and packed in to fill wound which is then covered with a dry dressing

80
Q

Wound Vacs

A

Wound is stuffed with sterile foam, covered with a clear Tegaderm dressing and then attached to suction canister. The suction continually derides the wound and collects any drainage

81
Q

Trendelenberg - used in some surgeries and for decreased BP

101

102
Q

Client lies on stomach with their head to the side and HOB flat

A

A

Perfusion

113
Q

Factors Affecting Oxygenation
Decreased Inspired O2 Concentration:

A

Airway obstruction (less ventilation so less O2 inspired), hypoventilation, decrease in O2 at high altitudes

114
Q

Factors Affecting Oxygenation
Increased Metabolic Rate Increases Oxygen Demands

A

Metabolic rate can increase during pregnancy, exercise or infection

115
Q

Factors Affecting Oxygenation
Decreased Ventilation

A

May decrease from musculoskeletal abnormalities, during pregnancy, from obesity, or from trauma. Can impair ability of lungs to fully expand. Sedation can affect frequency of ventilation.

116
Q

Factors Affecting Oxygenation
Decreased Oxygen Carrying Capacity

A

*Anemia: decreases hemoglobin and therefore decreases amount of O2 being carried around.
*Carbon Monoxide poisoning: Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin so there’s less to carry O2.
*Hypovolemia (shock, severe dehydration): decreases blood volume which decreases body’s ability to move O2 to tissues.

117
Q

121
Q

Very Late Signs of Hypoxia:

A

*Peripheral Cyanosis: extremities, nail beds, ear lobes
*Central Cyanosis: tongue, soft palate, conjunctiva of eyes

122
Q

Hypoventilation

A

Pathology: Occurs when alveolar ventilation is inadequate to meet O2 demands or sufficiently eliminate CO2 - not enough O2/not exchanging it well

Cause: Sedation from meds or after procedures, neuromuscular diseases, chronic lung disease

Signs/Symptoms:
*Mental status change
*Dysrhythmias
*Possible seizures
*Atelectasis (complete or partial collapse of lung) - due to collapse of alveoli

123
Q

Hyperventilation

A

Pathology: State in ventilation in which lungs remove CO2 faster than it’s produced - client breathing so fast that they are getting rid of too much CO2

Cause: Anxiety, infection, pain, acid-base imbalance

Signs:
*Rapid respiration
*Lightheadedness
*Tingling
*Numbness

Treatment: Clients need to rebreathe their CO2 - breath in paper bag

Perception

146
Q

Acute Pain (Categorized by duration)

A

Protective, easier to treat, identifiable cause, short duration, limited tissue damage, limited emotional response

147
Q

The pain impulse is inhibited via the release of endorphins, serotonin, and GABA

A

Modulation

148
Q

Chronic/Persistent Pain (Categorized by duration)

A

Lasts longer than 6 months, doesn’t always have identifiable cause, can lead to great personal suffering

149
Q

Neuropathic Pain (Categorized by inferred pathological process)

A

Abnormal processing of sensory input by PNS and CNS, abnormal transmission along nerve pathways, quality of pain is typically different (burning, shooting)

150
Q

Nociceptive Pain (Categorized by inferred pathological process)

A

What you think of when you think of pain.

Normal stimulation of special peripheral nerve endings called nociceptors.

*Somatic Pain: Bones, joints, muscles, skin, or connective tissue

A

Opioid Drugs

163
Q

Primary use not pain control but found to help with specific types of pain - can also treat conditions associated with pain (anxiety) - neuropathic pain is dysfunction of nerve pathway so it’s treated differently - gabapentin and antidepressants like amitryptyline

A

Adjuvants or Co-Analgesics

164
Q

Control other symptoms associated with pain (benzodiazepines treat anxiety) - when administering opioids remember they’re sedating and can increase extant sedation which can decrease respiratory drive - must monitor patients

Includes perineurial local anesthetic infusions and local anesthetics - nerve blocks injected into nerve innervating certain area - one time or continuous

A

Local Anestehtics

166
Q

Applied directly to skin - most common are lidocaine creams or patches - meant to numb area of pain and should be placed where pain is localized - patch taken off for period of time after 24 hours - some creams over the counter and used for arthritic type pain

A

Topical Analgesics

167
Q

Infusion pump that allows client to self-administer a small preset dose of opioids with minimal risk of overdose - can administer every 15 minutes - safety lock prevents tampering - only the client should administer this medication.

Q

When client is undertreated for pain because it’s believed they aren’t in pain

A

Pseudo-Addiction

169
