Freud Stages of development
Oral: 0-1yr Anal: 1-3yr Phallic: 3-6yr Latency: 6-12yr Genital: 12 to younger adult
Only acid base to cause Kussmaul respirations
Metabolic acidosis
Ventricular tachycardia aka
“Bizarre” pattern
Ventricular fibrillation aka
“chaotic” squiggly line no pattern
s/s hyperkalemia
Agitation/irritability brady/tachypnea tall P/elevated ST waves borborygmi/diarrhea hyperflexia spastic muscles oliguria
Sign of pneumonia
crackles dyspnea pleuritic chest pain increase vocal fremitus unequal chest movement dull fever+chills
s/s of upers
euphoria tachy/tachpnea restlessness/irritability borborygmi/diarrhea \+3 +4 reflexes seizures
contraindications for thrombolytics
prior intracranial hemorrhage arteriovenous malformation aneurysm ischemic stroke or head trauma w/in 3mon (except 3hrs) suspected aortic dissection active bleeding
HHNK causes and tx
causes dehydration
tx is IV fluids
dont need to use insulin for this
more fatal
DKA causes
acute viral upper resp. infection w/in 2 weeks
too much food
not enough meds/exercise
higher priority
hypoglycemia causes
too much insulin/meds
too much exercise
not enough food
s/s of DKA
dehydration- hot flushed skin ketones in blood kussmaul resp high k+ acidotic acetone breath anorexia to nausea
Clozaril/Clozapine
2nd Gen Atypical Antipsychotic
to treat severe schizophrenia, made to replace the *zines and haldol
Does NOT have the side effects (A-F)
Has SEVERE agranulocytosis (immunosuppressed)
Monitor WBCs, they can fall very low
ziprasidone hydrochloride
atypical anti psychotic for bipolar risk for hypotension and seizure and QT prolongation place on telly do EKG and check k+
S/s Hypercalcemia
bradycardia, bradypnea flaccid muscles hypoactive reflexes lethargy constipation
S/s Hypokalemia
Lethargy tachy/bradypnea dynamic ileum/constipation flaccid muscles hyporeflexia, polyuria
Therapeutic level + toxic level of Phenytoin
10-20
toxic@20
for seizures
gastroschisis vs. omphalocele
congenital defects of abdominal wall
gastroschisis not covered with sac
omphalocele covered with sac
RN should cover with gauze and initiate iv access
Therapeutic level + toxic level of digoxin
1-2
toxic >2
treats A-Fib & CHF
Tetralogy of Fallot:
Pulmonary Stenosis
Overriding Aorta
Ventricular Defect
Right Hypertrophy
Therapeutic level + toxic level of bilirubin
only in newborns
elevated @10-20
hospitalized @15
dead @20
Phenothiazines:
1st Gen / Typical Antipsychotics All end in zines* They don’t cure psych diseases, only reduce symptoms *Zines for the zaney* ZzZ.. zines (sedatives) Small doses are anti-emetics Major tranquilizers
Fluoxetine prozac
SSRI Anticholinergic (dry mouth) Blurred vision Constipation Drowsiness Euphoria (way too happy)
Parent teaching for digoxin in children
hold if pulse is <90-110 for infant hold if pulse is <70 in child do not double up doses if child vomits nofity MD dont mix with food rise mouth give liquid to side or back of mouth
S/s of Cushing’s & side effects of steroids
High glucose** (hyperglycemic)(insulin resistant) Moon face Hirsutism Big body / buffalo hump Gynecomastia Central obesity (apple body) Skinny extremities due to muscle atrophy Retains sodium & water Loses potassium Bruises and striae Irritable Immunosuppressed “I’m mad. I have an infection”
Tx for Supra Ventricular (Atrial)
Adenocard (Adenosine): Push in less then 8 secs Don't worry about Asystole When it comes to IV push, when you don’t know go slow Beta blockers (ending in “lol”) Just like CCB’s, same treatment, same side effects Calcium channel blockers Better for asthmatics Digoxin/Digitalis (Lanoxin)
3 that are NOT MeanOldMycins
Arithromycin, Zythromycin, and Clarithromycin
if it has “thro” throw away
QRS depolarization
Answer will always be ventricular
P wave
Answer will always be atrial
Lack of a P wave
Answer will always be ventricular
A lack of QRS
Asystole
A-flutter
Saw tooth
Therapeutic level + toxic level of aminophylline
10-20
toxic <20
relaxes spasms in airway
give 1st before broncodilator to control spasm
drugs that are Downers
Heroin, Marijuana, Alcohol, Benzos
methotrexate
for RA
adverse effect is bone marrow suppression
leading to thrombocytopenia
w/ signs of petechiae and bleeding gums
riluzole
only medication for ALS
slows degeneration
may prolong survival rate
Maslows highest priority to least
- physiological
- safety
- love and belonging
- self esteem
- self actualization
S/s hypocalcemia
Tachycardia/tachypnea agitation/irritability diarrhea, borborygmi spastic muscles, hyperreflexia seizure chvostek sign (cheek, face spasm) trousseau sign (BP hand spasm), gay french man
