What are the 7 areas/ systems effected by bed rest?
MM PP CH N
Musculoskeletal and metabolic/ endocrine/ electrolyte
Pulmonary and psychiatric
Cardiovascular
Hematologic
Nutrition
Electrolyte panel, metabolic panel, kidney function, liver function/ hepatic panel, cardiac markers, lipid panel and complete blood count (CBC) are all examples of?
Common screening profile seen in acute care settings
What are normal pH values?
7.35- 7.45
Normal range for WBC? Leukopenia? Leukocytosis?
4500-11000
Leukopenia (decreased) less than 4000
Leukocytosis (elevated) above 11000
Normal platelet ranges?
150,000- 400,000
Normal hemoglobin range for men and women?
Men: 14.4- 16.6
Women: 12.2 - 14.7
If hemoglobin is 8-10 you should monitor? If 5-8 therapy may be? Less than 5?
8-10 should monitor vitals closely when treating
5-8 therapy may be contraindicated
Less than 5: do not treat, leads to heart failure and death
If platelet count is 50k-140k what type of exercise is ok? (2)
Low intensity progressive resistive exercises (RPE) and aerobic exercise
If platelet count is 30k-50k what type of exercise is recommended? (2)
AROM and walking
If platelets are below 20K therapy may? No?
Therapy may be contraindicated
NO brushing of teeth
At a platelet level below _ you are at risk of spontaneous bleeding, petechia, ecchymosis, and prolonged bleeding time.
Below 20K
Irritability, lethargy, headache, tremors, muscle twitching, vertigo, tachycardia, and peripheral vasodilation are all symptoms of?
Respiratory acidosis
What are the parameters for respiratory acidosis: pH, PaCO2, HCO3?
PH: less than 7.35
PaCO2: greater than 45 mmHg
HCO3 normal or greater than 27
Convulsions, coma, numbness/ tingling, lightheadedness/ dizziness, sweating and palpitations are all signs of?
Respiratory alkalosis
Parameters for respiratory alkalosis: pH, PaCO2, HCO3?
PH greater than 7.45
PaCO2 less than 35
HCO3 normal or greater than 27
If _ is out of balance (either too low or too high) you are at increased risk for cardiac arrest?
Potassium
What is PTT? It is used to detect abnormalities in? Used to monitor?
Partial Thromboplastin time
Used to detect abnormalities in blood clotting
Also used to monitor treatment effects/ levels of heparin
If PTT is elevated, what should I PT do? Why?
Therapy is contraindicated (usually if above 2.5 but may vary depending upon facility)
Due to bleeding risk
What is the normal blood glucose level?
70-100 pg/mL
What happens if blood glucose gets too high? Low?
High- hyperglycemia
Low- hypoglycemia
Blurry vision, rapid heart beat, sudden mood changes and nervousness, unexplained fatigue, pale skin, headache, hunger, shaking, sweating, difficulty sleeping, skin tingling and trouble thinking are all signs and symptoms of?
Hypoglycemia
Polyphasic/ Hungry, polyuria, thristiness, fatigue, weight loss, fatigue, blurry vision, and nausea are all signs and symptoms of ?
Hyperglycemia
