Q

How many liters can each O2 mask deliver?

Indicate any exceptions/considerations.

A
  • Nasal Cannula = 1-6 L, >4 L requires humidified O2

32
Q

Define Cheyne-Stokes respiration

A
  • Respiratory rate and depth are irregular
  • alternating periods of apnea and hyperventilation
  • Cycle: slow, shallow breaths that gradually increase to abnormal rate/depth. Pattern reverses, breathing slows and becomes shallow, climaxing in apnea before respiration resumes
  • Sign of “impending doom” as it is common when approaching death
33
Q

Define Kussmaul’s respiration

A

Abnormally deep, regular at increased rate

34
Q

Define Biot’s respiration

A
  • Abnromally shallow for two or three breaths
  • followed by irregular period of apnea
35
Q

Describe the effect of the following BP assessment errors:

Bladder/cuff to wide

Bladder/cuff to narrow/short

Cuff wrapped too loosely/unevenly

A

Effects

Bladder/cuff to wide = False Low Reading

Bladder/cuff to narrow/short = False High Reading

Cuff wrapped too loosely/unevenly = False High Reading

36
Q

Describe the effect of the following BP assessment errors:

Deflating cuff to slowly

Deflating cuff to rapidly

Arm below heart level

Arm above heart level

Arm not supported

A

Effects

Deflating cuff to slowly = False High Diastolic

Deflating cuff to rapidly = False Low Systolic and False high Diastolic

Arm below heart level = False High BP

Arm above heart level = False Low BP

Arm not supported = False High BP

37
Q

Give the typical volume amounts for the following injections:

ID

Sub-Q

A

ID = < 0.5mL

IM = < 2mL for small muscles, <5mL for large muscles

Sub-Q = < 1mL, (but up to 2mL is safe)

38
