Treatment Flashcards
AKI
Underlying cause
Fluid balance
Sodium polystyrene sulfonate, sorbitol, IV insulin/D50 for hyperkalemia
IV bicarbonate
Dialysis
AKI and CKD
Fluid balance (prevent excess)
Adequate nutrition (increase protein and calcium and vitamin D)
Education
Activity with rest
Prevent complications
FVE
I/O, weights
Limit fluid
Oral hygiene
ESKD
RRT
Dialysis
Kidney transplant
ESRD diet
4-5 small meals
Low salt
Low potassium
Low phosphorus
High protein
Limit fluids
Types of RRT
HD, CRRT, PD, Hemofiltration, hemodiafiltration

Pacemakers
Cardioversion
Defibrillation
6 minute walk test
Prevention CAD
Lower cholesterol with diet and meds
Exercise
Stop smoke
Manage HTN
Control DM
Angina goal
Decrease oxygen demand and increase the supply
Reduce and control risk factors
Angina meds
Nitro
BB, CCB
Antiplatelet/anticoagulants- aspirin, clopidogrel and ticlopidine, heparin, glycoprotein inhibitors
May also need PPI, H2 for GI upset
MI
MOAN: morphine, oxygen, aspirin (ASA), nitro (NTG)
BB, heparin
PCI for STEMI
Thrombolytic (“plase”) if no PCI
Inpatient: cardiac monitor, meds, ASA and clopidogrel, BB, ACE ARB
Goals include: improve respiratory and perfusion
Nursing: oxygen, elevate head, IO, pain, frequent assessment and evaluation
Mitral regurgitation
HF treatment (BB, ACE, ARB)
Mitral stenosis
Anticoagulant, BB, CCB, digoxin
Aortic regurgitation
ACE, CCB
Valvuloplasty, valve replacement
Aortic stenosis procedures
TAVR (valve replacement), percutaneous valvuloplasty
Nursing for valvular heart disorders
Daily weights, activity with rest
(Along with typical monitor and med stuff)
Nursing for valve surgery (plasty or replacement)
Monitor for HF and emboli
(Along with typical perioperative stuff like VS, anesthesia recovery, stability)
Anticoagulant, prevent endocarditis, echoes
Cardiomyopathy nursing
Low Na, fluid restriction
Meds
Exercise, pacemaker
Rest with legs down, O2
Heart infection prevention
Abx and oral hygiene
Immunization
Lower UTI prevention
Shower, hygiene, fluids, pee, vitamin C or cranberry juice
Lower UTI treatment
Fluids
Avoid coffee, tea, citrus, cola, alcohol
Abx and analgesics
Heat
UTI hospital protocol
If no void 4-6 hrs/symptomatic, scan
If scan >300 ml do straight cath
Repeat if not fix
Foley if still problem
Pyelonephritis
Usually outpatient
Abx and fluids
If chronic: strict IO and temp
