Q

How does evaluation relate to the other phases of the nursing process?

A

uses predetermined criteria (OUTCOMES) from the planning step, assessment data must be accurate and complete so the the correct diagnoses are chosen and that the criteria written in the outcomes phase are appropriate for the client, the TNIs must be stated in concrete, behavioral, and measurable terms if they are to be useful for evaluating, evaluation does not end the process

A

the nurse or physician

65
Q

What are the steps in performing a throat culture?

A

clean gloves, insert a swab into the oropharynx and then run the swab along the tonsils and areas on the pharynx that are reddened or contain exudate

66
Q

How should a patient be positioned for a throat culture?

68
Q

What is the rationale behind having a client sit upright, open mouth, extend tongue and say “ah” during a throat culture?

A

The sitting position and extension of the tongue exposes the pharynx. Saying “ah” relaxes the throat muscles and helps minimize contraction of the constrictor muscle of the pharynx

73
Q

Hypoxemia

A

abnormally low concentration of oxygen in the blood

74
Q

Hypoxia

A

inadequate amount of oxygen in the tissues

75
Q

Hyperventilation

A

an increase in depth and rate of breathing great than demanded by the body needs

76
Q

What is the problem with too much oxygen therapy?

A

pulmonary oxygen toxicity, absorption atelectasis, or hypercapnia

77
Q

Hypercapnia/Hypercarbia

A

abnormally high levels of carbon dioxide in the blood

78
Q

A

From breathing 60% oxygen for 24 hours

79
Q

What does oxygen do to the mucous membranes?

A

oxygen drys mucous membranes out

80
Q

What are the two ways oxygen is contained for oxygen therapy?

A

cylinders/tanks or wall outlets

81
Q

What administration devices are used to deliver low-flow oxygen therapy?

A

nasal cannulas, face masks, oxygen tents, and transtracheal catheters

82
Q

What administration devices are used to deliver high-flow oxygen therapy?

A

Venturi Mask with large-bore tubing

83
Q

What type of oxygen delivery system is this woman using?

A

nasal cannula (nasal prongs)

84
Q

What are limitations to the nasal cannula?

A

It can be drying and irritatiing to the mucous membranes and it does not have the ability to deliver higher concentrations of oxygen

85
Q

What type of oxygen delivery system is this woman using?

A

A simple fask mask

86
Q

What are the differences between the patiral rebreather mask and the non-rebreather mask?

A

There are one way valves on the NRM that prevent the room air and the client’s exhaled air from entering the bag so only the oxygen in the bag is inspired. NRM delivers 95-100% concentration at liter flows of 10-15L/minute and the PRM delivers oxygen concentrations of 40-60% at 6-10L/minute.

87
Q

What type of oxygen delivery system is this woman using?

A

venturi mask

88
Q

What are the purposes of the nasal cannula?

A

to deliver a relatively low concentration of oxygen when only minimal O2 support is required, to allow uninterrupted delivery of oxygen while the client ingests food or fluids

89
Q

What are the purposes of a face mask?

A

to provide mod. O2 support and higher concentration of oxygen and/or humidity than is provided by cannula

90
Q

What position is ideal for oxygen therapy?

A

semi-fowler’s position as the position permts easier chest expansion and therefore easier breathing

91
Q

What should be checked frequently during oxygen therapy VIA a face mask?

A

Skin. Look for dampness of chafing and dry and treat prn

92
Q

What are the purposes of oropharynxgeal suctioning?

A

to remove secretions that obstruct the airway, to facilitate ventilation, to obtain secretions for diagnositc purposes, to prevent infection that ma result from accumulated secretions

93
Q

What are the signs that oropharynxgeal suctioning may be required?

A

restlessness. anxiety. noisy respirations. adventitious breath sounds when the client’s chest is auscultated.

94
Q

What should the care provider do before suctioning with Yankauer catheter?

A

Moisten to tip of the Yankauer with sterile water or saline to reduce fristion and ease insertion

95

109
Q

How far should you pull the skin to the side for a Z-Track IM injection?

A

1 inch

110
Q

Why do we put an air lock on IM injections?

A

To makes sure that all of the medication in the needle goes into the syringe before the needle is changed to the needle you will inject the patient with. The air will also be the last to leave the syringe, therefore making an air barrier so that the medication is better absorped.

111
Q

How much of an air lock for Z-Track IM injections?

A

0.2-0.3 mL of air aspirated after drawing up correct dose and before changing needles
