,Weight gain in fluid volume excess -ANSWER The most reliable indicator of fluid gain.
Treatment for fluid volume excess -ANSWER R: reduce IV flow rate, E: evaluate breath
sounds + ABG's, S: semi-Fowler position, T: tx w/ oxygen + diuretics as ordered, R: reduce
sodium + fluid intake, I: I+O + weight, C: circulation, color, + presence of edema, T: turn +
position at least q2hr.

white as a sheet, P: pulselessness, P: parathesia —> can you feel this?, P: paralysis —> can you
move this?
Temperature difference -ANSWER MAY have temperature difference if circulation is
compromised
Unrelieved pain after cast/splint -ANSWER Must be reported IMMEDIATELY to avoid
necrosis, neuromuscular damage, + possible paralysis
Lupus -ANSWER Inflammatory, autoimmune disorder that affects every organ in the body
