Question Trainer 1 Remediation Flashcards
true or false
the type of stroke can be determined solely based on manifestations
FALSe
manifestations of different types of stroke are similar and therefore it is critical to determine the type of stroke occuring; the type cannot be determined solely based on manifestations and the correct and appropriate treatent for the stroke type must be initiated
the type of stroke needs to be determined within a certain time frame after arrival in order for timely treatment to begin
TRUE OR FALSE
TRUE; Time is of the essence when providing care to a client who experiences an ischemic stroke, as thrombolytic therapy is only effective for a certain time frame once symptoms begin (4.5 to 6 hours). This is the priority assessment question, as thrombolytic therapy can restore circulation for this client.
How is the type of stroke usually identified ?
Usually done using imaging such as a CT scan
Different between bone marrow aspiration and biopsy
The two procedures are often done together. They differ in the specific content of the bone marrow they remove
Bone marrow has a fluid portion and a more solid portion. In bone marrow biopsy, your doctor uses a needle to withdraw a sample of the solid portion. In bone marrow aspiration, a needle is used to withdraw a sample of the fluid portion.
Risks include infection, bleeding, penetration of the breastbone which can cause heart or lung problems, or long lasting discomfort at the biopsy site.
The sternum may be used for bone marrow aspiration. However, there is not enough marrow available in the sternum for a biopsy.
The procedure can be done at the bedside or in the operating room
Therapeutic Communication Do’s
Do respond to feeling tone.
Do provide information.
Do focus on the client.
Do use silence.
Do use presence.
What is the prioroty assessment in the unconscious client ?
The airway, as increases in arterial carbon dioxide levels will increase intracranial pressure
___________________communication often causes fatigue for the client diagnosed with MS.
Verbal
the client is taught to make important points first prior to the onset of fatigue.
Impaired balance or coordination
Enteral tube feedings should be administered if bowel sounds are absent.
TRue or false
FALSE
Feedings should not be administered if bowel sounds are absent
For gastrointestinal tube feedings, we do not hang more solution that is required for a _________________ hour period
4
This is done to reduce the risk of bacterial growth
The gastrostomy tube should be rotated 360 degrees daily to reduce the risk of skin irritation and breakdown.
TRUE OR FALSE
TRUE
We should check for slight in-and-out movement of the gastrostomy tube.
TRUE OR FALSE
TRUE
A slight in-and-out movement indicates that the gastrostomy tube is not embedded in the wall of stomach
a common and disabling condition following brain damage in which patients fail to be aware of items to one side of space. Neglect is most prominent and long-lasting after damage to the right hemisphere of the human brain, particularly following a stroke. Such individuals with right-sided brain damage often fail to be aware of objects to their left, demonstrating neglect of leftward items.
Unilateral neglect syndrome
The client who is recovering from a stroke may have a short attention span or visual difficulties, making reading with comprehension a difficult task. The nurse should provide verbal instructions with _______________________.
short sentences.
During DKA, osmotic diuresis occurs and the client is at significant risk for ___________________–
fluid volume deficit.
decreased circulation is a _______________-for anti-embolism stockings
Venous thromboembolism is a ________________for anti-embolism stockings
contraindication; contraindication
The best indication of peripheral arterial disease and circulation to extremities is to monitor the client’s _____________________-
pedal pulses
Vital signs should be within ___________—of preprocedure values
20%
Anesthesia nursing considerations
vital signs every 15-30 minutes

antiemetic; cab be given 30 minutes before antineoplastic agents such as Cisplatin
Expected findings for Rheumatoid arthritis
joint swelling, stiffness and pain
