⩥ paracentesis. Answer: surgical puncture to remove fluid from the
abdomen; aspiration of fluid that accumulates in the form of ascites in
the abdominal cavity. ascites is a common finding in end-stage cirrhosis
and may severely impair the client's ability to breathe because the fluid
prevents the lungs from expanding properly.
⩥ Cauda Equina Syndrome. Answer: -Injury at the L1 level and below
resulting in a LMN lesion
-Flaccid paralysis w/no spinal reflex activity;
risk paralysis of legs; *fecal incontinence is an abnormal finding and
might indicate cauda equine syndrome*
-decreased sensation in perianal and saddle aream weakness in lower
extremities etc
⩥ Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Failure Assessment Findings:.
Answer: assessment findings: crackles in both lung bases and decreased
systolic blood pressure because of a decrease in cardiac output. the
,lower CO will also cause backflow of fluid into lungs causing
pulmonary edema and dyspnea.
⩥ venous ulcers. Answer: Injury and poor venous return, resulting from
underlying conditions, such as incompetent valves or obstruction;
gradient compression stockings are prescribed for venous ulcer
treatment - they decrease blood pooling in the leg veins and should be
worn at all times, except when sleeping or bathing.
-exposing ulcer to air implies the client removed the stockings -
WRONG
⩥ Thyroid storm. Answer: may develop after a subtotal thyroidectomy
surgery and is caused by excessive release of thyroid hormones by the
damaged thyroid gland.
-life-threatening and be tx immediately.
⩥ S3 heart sound. Answer: ↑;ventricular filling pressure (e.g., mitral
regurgitation, HF), common in dilated ventricles; caused by ventricular
dysfunction or by volume overload and indicates failure of the left
ventricle;
S3 sounds are abnormal except in children and some adults <40. heard
early diastole,
, ⩥ PQRST waves and what each represents.. Answer: P wave represents
atrial depolarization
QRS - atrial re-polarization and ventricular depolarization
T wave represents ventricular repolarization.
⩥ Place electrodes for defibrillation. Answer: 2nd intercostal space right
of sternal border; 5th intercostal space left of mid-axillary line
⩥ pneumothroax. Answer: air in the pleural space; hyperresonance over
the affected side is an expected assessment finding in a client with
pneumothorax due to increased air accumulation over the affected side.
*spontaneous pneumothorax will have the trachea in midline- not
displaced. when tracheal displacement occurs, the pneumothorax is
called tension-pneumothorax.
⩥ passive vaccination. Answer: administration of immunoglobulin is an
example of passive vaccination; the antibodies will attack the rabies
virus and will prevent the client from developing the disease. after a few
weeks, the antibodies will be broken down and the client will no longer
be immune.
