The nurse concludes that a client with a body temp of 98.6 F is experiencing which
kind of condition?
hypothermia
hyperpyrexia
hyperthermia
normothermia
Give this one a try later!
normothermia
A child's blood test after receiving a general anesthetic indicates increased
intracellular calcium levels. Which medication would the nurse anticipate
administering to this client?
aspirin
,naproxen
ibuprofen
dantrolene
Give this one a try later!
dantrolene
factors affecting heat loss
Give this one a try later!
radiation, conduction/convection, evaporation (vaporization), increased
respirations, vasodilation
Exertional heat stroke
Give this one a try later!
sudden onset, strenuous activity, too much clothing
severe hypothermia
Give this one a try later!
< 30 C (<86 F)
absence of respirations/pulse, vfib, dilated/unresponsive pupils, coma
, conduction
Give this one a try later!
Form of heat transfer where heat energy is directly transferred between
molecules through molecular collisions or direct contact.
DIC
Give this one a try later!
Disseminated intravascular coagulation
-rare but serious condition that causes abnormal blood clotting throughout
the body's blood vessels
induced hypothermia
Give this one a try later!
deliberately lowering body temp to decrease metabolic rate, reduces
body's need for O2; used for patients with trauma, stroke, cardiac surgery,
post-cardiac arrest.
treatment for hyperthermia (meds)
Give this one a try later!
