SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ - Turn head slowly
- Stop smoking
- Reduce sodium intake (so less fluid buildup/pressure)
- Use medications as directed. Answer: Patient education for
Meniere's disease
◉ monitor vital signs. Answer: Post surgical care for tympanoplasty
◉ Weber test Answer: The ________ test is performed by placing a
vibrating tuning fork on the middle of the patient's head and asking
him or her to indicate in which ear the sound is louder.
◉ Sound heard equally in both ears Answer: What are normal
results of the Weber test?
◉ systolic (90-120)
diastolic (60-80) Answer: Normal blood pressure ranges for systolic
and diastolic
,◉ 60-100 bpm Answer: Normal pulse range
◉ Temperature (96.4-99.5 F)
- Oral (98.6 F)
- Tympanic (99.6 F)
- Rectal (99.6 F)
- Axillary (97.6 F) Answer: Normal temperature ranges per
thermometer type
◉ 12-20 bpm Answer: Normal respiratory rate range
◉ 94%-100% Answer: Normal pulse oximetry range
◉ - spread your feet far apart to lower the center of gravity
- lifting an object from the floor, flex your hips,
knees, and back.
- bring the object to thigh level, bending your knees and keeping
your back straight.
- stand up while holding the object as close as possible to your
body, bringing the load to the center of gravity to
increase stability and decrease back strain.
- face the direction of movement
, *ATI Ch. 14 p.73-76 Answer: How does a nurse maintain balance and
body posture when lifting?
◉ to stretch (before and after exercise) to promote ROM Answer:
Patient education for flexibility
◉ · Improves pulmonary circulation (keeping the tissue well
oxygenated, healthy, and elastic.)
· Improves gas exchange at the alveolar-capillary membrane, and
overall aerobic capacity.
· Dilates bronchioles to increase ventilation/gas exchange. Answer:
What are the benefits of regular exercise on the Respiratory System?
◉ · Improves skeletal development in children.*****
· Increases muscle mass, strength, power, and endurance.
· Improves flexibility.
· Increases coordination.
· Helps maintain joint structure and function; reduces risk of
osteoarthritis.
· Improves bone mass and mineral density.***important for our
older patients
