physiological integrity: pharmacology Flashcards
safest blood transfusions
autologous
process of collection/reinfusion of own blood
eliminates incompatibility/infection
fentanyl manifestations
loss of bladder control
respiratoy depression
hypotension
sedation
lithium drug interactions
Ibuprofen
puts patient @ risk for lithium toxicity
aspirin would be better
venous devices
heparin lock
butterfly needles
hypodermic syringes
heparin lock
intermittent injection ports
used for frequent/regular heparin IV injections
allows more freedom than IV line
butterfly needle
venipuncture - giving meds/drawing blood
arterial line
measures arterial blood pressure
hypodermic syringes
used draw blood and fluid
blood transfusion reactions directions
return to blood bank (blood & tubing)
lactated ringers
isotonic fluid
more blood plasma than saline
lactated ringers therapeutic use
treats hypocolemic shock
replaces fluids/electrolytes
total parenteral nutrition (TPN)
dextrose 50% in water (D50W)
3% sodium chlorides (3%NaCl)
hypertonic solutions
D50W therapeutic use
treats hypoglycemia
administer rapidly IV bolus
3%NaCl therapeutic use
treats sever hyponatremia
beclomethasone teaching
inhaled corticosteroid
when administered intranasally
gently blow nose before administration
IV gentamycin adverse effects
drug class: aminoglycosides
NO
Nephrotoxicity - decrease urine output
Ototoxicity - tinnitus/hearing loss
corticosteroid application teaching
apply thin layer on damp skin
avoid skin folds
hypothyroid dose reduction requirements
signs of hyperthyroidism
tremors
