Computed tomography (CT) - uses - ANSWER ✓ To diagnose kidney stones,
bladder stones, or blockages of the urinary tract
Computed tomography (CT) scan - with and without contrast uses/potential
reaction - ANSWER ✓ *With or without contrast
*Cannot be allergic to iodine/shellfish
Ultrasound of Bladder prep & reason for - ANSWER ✓ *some need to have a full
bladder & some you don't
*You look for retention, size, location
Upper GI series - prep needed - ANSWER ✓ - Other name "Barium swallow"
- Swallow chalky barium, then they do an x-ray
- Look for: defines anatomy, looks for ulcers, hiatal hernias, scaring, blockage,
tumors
- Before the procedure the patient should not eat or drink anything 4-8 hrs it
involves swallowing a liquid that contains barium which fills and coats the
intestinal lining, major side effects:
- Constipation, and whitish stool from barium
Different methods of assessing temperature - ANSWER ✓ *Tympanic
*Oral
*Rectal - most accurate
*Axillary
*Temporal
,Febrile - ANSWER ✓ Fever
AFebrile - ANSWER ✓ No fever
Types of cooling methods - ANSWER ✓ 1. Antipyretics - decrease fever
medicines
2. Acetametaphin - Tylenol
3. NSAIDS - Ibuprofen, advil
4. Conduction
5. Radiation
6. Convection
7. Cooling blanket
conduction - ANSWER ✓ The transfer of and reaction to heat through direct
contact.
• Heat from the body is lost when it comes in contact with cooler object.
Radiation - ANSWER ✓ The transfer of heat as waves or particles of energy
• No actual contact occurs
• Vasodilation - increases blood flow to the skin, increasing radiant heat
• Vasoconstriction - minimizes heat loss from the skin
• Ex. - If environmental temperature is higher than the skin temp., the body also
will absorb heat by radiation
Convection - ANSWER ✓ The transfer of heat by movement or circulation of
warm matter such as air or water
Evaporation - ANSWER ✓ The process by which a liquid changed to a vapor
through heat.
• Diaphoresis increases during exercise, emotional or mental stress, and fever -
process of evaporation lowers body temp.
Nursing process - ANSWER ✓ ADPIE
Fluid volume overload (S/S) - ANSWER ✓ Fluid intake exceeds output
o Assessed by total body weight (TBW) -
• 2% gain is mild excess
• 5% gain is moderate excess
• 8% gain is severe excess
,Heart problems
Crackles in lungs
Decreased perfusion
Confusion
BP & HR goes up
o Edema - abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitial space
osmosis - ANSWER ✓ movement of solvent molecules across a membrane in
response to a concentration gradient
osmosis moves from a - ANSWER ✓ lower to higher concentration
filtration - ANSWER ✓ the movement of solvents and solutes by hydrostatic
pressure; usually from an area of higher pressure to lower pressure
isotonic solutions - ANSWER ✓ when the solutions on both sides of a selectively
permeable membrane have est. equilibrium or are equal in concentration
hypotonic solutions - ANSWER ✓ when a solution contains a lower
concentration of salt or solute than another more concentrated solution
hypertonic solution - ANSWER ✓ a solution that has a higher concentration of
solutes than another, less concentrated solution
the kidneys play a major role in - ANSWER ✓ regulating fluid and electrolytes
balance and excrete the largest quantity of fluid
HYPOvolemia S/S - ANSWER ✓ * cardiovascular: thready, INC pulse rate, DEC
BP, flat neck and hand veins, diminished peripheral pulses, dysrhythmias
* respiratory: INC rate and depth, dyspnea
* neuromuscular: DEC central nervous system activity, from lethargy to coma;
fever, skeletal muscle weakness
* renal: DEC urine output
* Integumentary: dry skin, poor turgor = tenting, dry mouth
, * GI: DEC motility and HYPOactive bowel sounds, constipation, thirst, DEC body
wt.
* lab findings: INC serum osmolality, INC hematocrit, INC BUN level, INC serum
sodium level, INC urinary specific gravity level
HYPERvolemia S/S - ANSWER ✓ * cardiovascular: bounding, INC pulse rate,
INC BP, distended hand and neck veins, dysrhythmias
* respiratory: INC RR shallow, dyspnea, moist crackles
* neuromuscular: altered LOC, headache, visual disturbances, skeletal muscle
weakness, paresthesias
* renal: pitting edema, pale cool skin
* GI: INC motility, diarrhea, INC body wt., liver enlargement, ascities
* lab findings: DEC serum osmolality, DEC hematocrit, DEC BUN level, DEC
serum sodium level, DEC urine specific gravity
HYPOkalemia S/S - ANSWER ✓ * cardiovascular: thready, weak irregular pulse,
weak peripheral pulses, orthostatic hypotension, dysrhythmias
* respiratory: shallow, ineffective RR that results from profound weakness of the
skeletal muscles; diminished breath sounds
* neuromuscular: anxiety, lethargy, confusion, coma; skeletal muscle weakness,
leg cramps, loss of tactile discrimination, paresthesias, deep tendon HYPOreflexia
* GI: DEC motility, HYPOactive to absent bowel sounds, nausea, vomiting,
constipation, abdominal distention, paralytic ileus
* lab findings: serum potassium level lower than 3.5 mEq/L; ST depression
HYPERkalemia S/S - ANSWER ✓ * cardiovascular: slow, weak, irregular heart
rate, DEC BP, dysrhythmias
