Chemo Brain
Fatigue
◉ What is Expressive Aphasia? Answer: Inability to express oneself
◉ What's the first step of a pt is Dx with Meningitis? Answer: Broad
Spectrum Antibiotics
◉ What are the sx of Answer: (may not seek health care until he or
she experiences blurred vision or "halos")

,Halos
difficulty focusing
difficulty adjusting eyes in low lighting
loss of peripheral vision
aching or discomfort around the eyes
headache.
◉ What Assessments should an RN conduct for Guillain Barre
syndrome? Answer: monitored for life-threatening complications
(respiratory failure, cardiac dysrhythmias, VTE [including DVT or PE])
assess the patient's and family's ability to cope
Maintain respiratory function
Enhancing physical mobility
Promote adequate nutrition
Improving communication
Decreasing fear and anxiety
Managing potential complications
◉ How does Multiple Sclerosis relate to Urinary Retention? Answer:
A neurogenic bladder results in urinary retention or leakage.
The patient may describe a sensation of bladder fullness or
incomplete bladder emptying. The pharmacological treatment of
urinary retention is administration of a cholinergic agonist
, ◉ Traction & Assessment
(Blueprint- Fractured Femer Dim Pulses) Answer: After skin traction is
applied, the nurse assesses circulation of the foot within 15 to 30
minutes and then every 1 to 2 hours. Circulatory assessment consists
of:
Peripheral pulses, color, capillary refill, and temperature of the
fingers or toes.
Manifestations of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which include
unilateral calf tenderness, warmth, redness, and swelling.
◉ How is Compartment Syndrome diagnosed Answer: 6 P's pain
poikilothermia
pallor
paresthesia
pulselessness
paralysis
◉ Describe a Normal Sinus Rhythm Answer: begins in the SA node
· rate: 60 to 100 bpm
· rhythm: Regular
· QRS shape and duration: Usually normal, but may be regularly
abnormal
· P wave: Normal and consistent shape; always in front of the QRS
· PR interval: Consistent interval between 0.12 and 0.20 seconds
