Q

Hemoglobin A1C

A

a diagnostic test used to measure the percentage of glycosylated hemoglobin in the blood.

Q

Normal weight gain during pregnancy

A
  • A 1.1-4.4 lb (0.5-2.0 kg) weight gain in the first trimester is normal and indicates a good, healthy diet and a growing fetus.
  • After the first trimester, a weight gain of 1 lb (0.5 kg) per week is often expected. This weight gain varies by pre-pregnancy BMI.

Q

normal platelet count

26
Q

therapeutic PTT range is

A

25-35 seconds

normal during anticoagulation therapy is 1.5-2 times the normal reference of 25-35

27
Q

A normal prothrombin time is

A

11-16 seconds

28
Q

How to calculate mean arterial pressure/what is normal

A

(Systolic Blood Pressure + (Diastolic Blood Pressure × 2))
all divided by 3

MAP = (2 x DBP + SBP) / 3

A normal MAP is between 70-105 mm Hg. If the MAP falls below <60 mm Hg, vital organs may be underperfused and can become ischemic

29
Q

Normal PaCO2 is

A

35-45 mm Hg

30
Q

Normal PaO2

A

> 80 mm Hg

31
Q

normal range for the number of wet diapers

A
  • is 6-10/day, or approximately 1 every 4 hours.
  • Infants create 2 mL/kg/hr normal urine output.
    The number of wet diapers/day is one of the best indications of adequate fluid intake (hydration).
32
Q

normal BMI

A

18.5-24.9 kg/m2

33
Q

The Parkland formula

A

(4 mL * weight in kg * percentage of body burned) calculates the 24-hour fluid resuscitation requirements in a burn client
- half is given during the first 8 hours.

34
Q

the goal during anticoagulation therapy is a PTT 1.5-2 times the normal reference range of

A

25-35 seconds

35
Q

Normal newborn head circumference is

A

12.5-14.5 in (32-37 cm)

36
Q

The rule of nines

A

is an estimated percentage of total body surface area burned in an adult.

  • The head is 9%, anterior torso 18%, posterior torso 18%, each arm 9%, each leg 18%, and groin 1%.
  • The rule of nines is often used at the initial evaluation and should be recalculated within the first 72 hours.
37
Q

normal CVP (central venous pressure) is

A

2-8 mm Hg

is a measurement of right ventricular preload (volume within the ventricle at the end of diastole) and reflects fluid volume problems. An elevated CVP can indicate right ventricular failure or fluid volume overload.

38
Q

normal SVR (systemic vascular resistance) is

A

800-1200 dynes/sec/cm-5

39
Q

BNP

A

normal <100

BNP is a peptide that causes natriuresis. B-type natriuretic peptides are made, stored, and released primarily by the ventricles. They are produced in response to stretching of the ventricles due to the increased blood volume and higher levels of extracellular fluid (fluid overload) that accompany heart failure. Elevation of BNP >100 pg/mL helps to distinguish cardiac from respiratory causes of dyspnea.

  • elevation is normal in pts with heart failure
40
Q

Normal pupil diameter.

A

3-5 mm in diameter

41
Q

target range for blood sugar when getting TPN

A

140-180 mg/dL

42
Q

normal CD4+ cell count

A

500-1,200/mm3

Low CD4 counts are defined as <750/mm3 for infants 12 months or younger, <500/mm3 for children between age 1-5 years, and <200/mm3 for children age >5 years and adults

43
Q

Normal eosinophil count is

A

Normal eosinophil count is 1%-2%.

Elevated eosinophils are seen in allergy.
In a client with an asthma exacerbation, a high eosinophil count would indicate an allergic trigger for the asthmatic response. The nurse should explore the client’s allergy history and ways to reduce the allergic exposure that may be contributing to the exacerbation.

44
Q

Normal reticulocyte count is

A

Normal reticulocyte count is 0.5%-2.0%.
Reticulocytes are immature red blood cells
Levels are elevated in hemolytic anemia or hemorrhage when the marrow is attempting to compensate for lost blood.

45
Q

Normal neutrophils are

A

Normal neutrophils are 55%-70%.

Elevated neutrophils indicate infection

46
Q

normal urine output

A

30 ml/hr

0.5-1.0 mL/kg/hr

47
Q

normal Glasgow coma scale

A

15

48
Q

HCO3

A

22-26 mEq/L

49
Q

Lithium levels

A

Lithium has a very narrow therapeutic index (0.6-1.2 mEq/L)

levels >1.5 mEq/L (1.5 mmol/L) are considered toxic

50
Q

ALT

A

10-40 U/L

51
Q

Normal urine specific gravity is

A

1.003-1.030.

Elevated specific gravity can indicate concentrated urine and be a sign of dehydration

52
Q

vancomycin trough normal level

A

10-20 mg/L

53
Q

absolute neutrophil count

A

2200-7700/mm3

54
Q

normal sodium

A

135-145 mEq/L

55
Q

normal hemoglobin

A

11.7-15.5 g/dL

56
Q

57
Q

leukocytosis =

A

elevated WBC >10,0000

58
Q

Naegele’s rule

A

can be used to quickly determine an EDB early in the pregnancy. This calculation uses the date of the first day of the last normal menstrual period (LMP) for determination of EDB.

EDB = (LMP minus 3 months) + 7 days

59
Q

A neonate’s resting pulse is

A

110-160/min.

Crying or vigorous kicking can cause a temporary rise. Vital signs are concerning if they rise when a client is at rest

60
Q

normal ph level

A

7.35-7.45

61
Q

LDL

A

<100 mg/dL

62
