renal failure (CKD, AKI)

43
Q

Is religion a component of culture? Y/N

A
44
Q

State 5 things you know about shock

A

1) All systems are affected
2) is life threatening; risk for circulatory collapse and death
3) requires rapid, comprehensive intervention
4)may develop rapidly or slowly depending on the underlying cause
5) any insult to the body can create a cascade of events resulting in poor tissue perfusion

45
Q

Blood pressure and tissue perfusion is maintained by what three mechanisms

A

Adequate blood volume
effective cardiac pump
effective blood vessels

46
Q

The body is able to compensate for the failure of ______ of these mechanisms.

A

One

47
Q

Less common causes of neurogenic shock

A

Autonomic nervous system toxins
Guillan Barre syndrome
spinal anesthesia
transverse myelitis

48
Q

What is typically given to treat shingles signs and symptoms

A

Antivirals –>ivir

49
Q

What occurs in the compensatory stage of shock

A

Fight or flight
BP with a normal range
cold and clammy skin
increased heart rate –>vasoconstriction
body starts to shunt blood from some organs to vital organs –>heart, lungs, brain

50
Q

What occurs during the Progressive stage of shock

A

BP drops
hypoperfusion
anaerobic mechanisms
heart is overworked

51
Q

What occurs during the irreversible stage of shock

A

BP remains low
irreversible organ damage –>liver and kidneys first to go
tissues and body become a necrotic–> toxin buildup
Lactic acid buildup due to anaerobic metabolism
Death

52
Q

_____ and ______ are released from the Adrenal medulla, causing the heart to beat faster and stronger

A

Epinephrine ;
norepinephrine

53
Q

What three things raise blood glucose levels to supply cells with fuel in the body

A

Epinephrine cortisol glucagon

54
Q

What system when stimulated causes vasoconstriction and sodium and water retention which decreases further fluid loss

A

The renin Angiotensin aldosterone system

55
Q

Inadequate blood flow causes oxygen deprivation in tissues cellular metabolism shifts from ____ to ____ in an effort to continue to receive nutrients and energy

A

Aerobic ;
Anaerobic

56
Q

What bed positioning is used to get blood pressure up

A

Trendelenburg

57
Q

Why do student nursing students study cultural assessments

A

Allows nurses to adapt care to the patient’s cultural needs and preferences

-nurses who assess their patients cultural beliefs values and practices are better able to individualize care and Achieve positive outcomes

  • cultural assessment and cultural orientation orientated care enable the nurse to identify ways with which the client’s culture and its features impact on their perceptions, beliefs, values, experiences, with health, wellness, illness, suffering, and even death
58
Q

Ethnocentrism

A

The practice where we tend to believe their own culture ethnic group race or Superior to others

Brain cells die within _____minutes from lack of oxygen and glucose.

A

4 minutes

60
Q

-tired

61
Q

Signs and symptoms of AKI

A

Oliguria
weight gain
anorexia
edema in the lower extremities
lung cracks
irregular heartbeat
decreased urine output
thirst
confusion
nausea + vomiting

62
Q

Signs and symptoms of BPH

A

(enlarged prostate- benign prostate hyoerplasia)
Frequent urge to urinate
Peeing more at night
Weak urine stream
Dribbling at the end of urination
Not able to fully empty bladder

63
Q

Signs and symptoms of CHF

A

SOB
Fatigue +weakness
Swelling
Weight gain
Nausea
Reduces ability to exercise
Difficulty sleeping while lying flat

64
Q

Ketoacidosis

A

When you have diabetes and don’t get enough insulin and get dehydrated your body burns fat instead of carbs as fuel that makes ketones lots of ketones in your blood turn it acidic. people who drink a lot of alcohol for a long time and don’t eat enough also build up ketones it can happen when you aren’t eating at all too

65
Q

What are the levels of ketoacidosis

A

Blood sugar levels are higher than 300mg/dL or 16.7 mmol/L

66
Q

Metabolic acidosis treatment

A

Detoxification if you have drug or alcohol poisoning
insulin if you have dka
IV fluids given by needle through a vein in your arm
sodium bicarbonate by IV or
you might have to go to the hospital

67
Q

What are the normal levels of metabolic acidosis

A

PH under 7.35 (acidic)

68
Q

Atelectasis

A

Collapse of the alveoli that prevents normal gas exchange between carbon dioxide and oxygen

69
Q

Hyperventilation

A

A state of ventilation in EXCESS of that required to eliminate the normal venous carbon dioxide produced by cellular metabolism

70
Q

Hypoventilation

A

When alveolar ventilation is inadequate to meet the body’s oxygen demands or to eliminate sufficient carbon dioxide

71
Q

______ is usually the first sign of shock

A

Tachycardia

72
Q

ARDS

A

Acute respiratory distress syndrome
Respiratory failure despite high levels of supplemental oxygen and mechanical ventilation

73
Q

DIC

A

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation

Occurs as a cause or complication of shock
Widespread clotting and bleeding
Bruises (ecchymosis) and bleeding (petechiae) may appear in the skin

74
Q

MODS

A

Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome
Major cause of death following shock - failure of one organ increases the rate of failure of another
-begins with respiratory then kidneys hurt liver and finally cerebral and Gi

75
Q

Shock is classified by what 4 cardiovascular characteristics

A

Hypovolemic
cardiogenic
obstructive extracardiac
distributive
