Q

pneumothorax comp., opening of the pleural space creates a 1 way valve, air collects in lungs and cannot escape (increased pressure)

A

tension pneumothorax

21
Q

less blood pumped out of ventricles, left = fluid to lungs, S3 gallop

A

Systolic heart failure

22
Q

less blood fills up in the ventricles, right = fluid into body, S4 gallop

A

Diastolic heart failure

23
Q

Heart unable to pump adeq. O2 rich blood through body, result in poor perfusion of tissues and organs

A

heart failure
primary goal = maintain heart output
secondary goal = decrease venous pressure to decrease edema

avoid NSAIDS and CCB (can exacerbate heart failure)

24

2nd degree = drop randomly (type 2)
3rd degree = beat independently

37
Q

decrease or interruption in bile flow from liver to the small intestine

A

cholestasis
liver function test, bilirubin test, meds, induction of labor if condition = severe or if gestational age is greater or near to term

38
Q

blood admin?

A

med rights
2 RNs must check for compatibility and correct order

breathing, body image
U/O monitor
rule of 9’s, resuscitation of fluids
nutrition, no IM injections
shock, silvadene

46
