CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
◉ What medication is administered to treat malignant hyperthermia?
Answer: Dantrolene.
◉ How can nurses maintain the optimal temperature of a client during
surgery? Answer: By using warming blankets, warmed IV fluids, and
monitoring core temperature.
◉ What should nurses do if a client's temperature exceeds 104°F in the
PACU? Answer: Intervene immediately and assess for signs of
hypermetabolism.
◉ What preoperative care should be provided regarding malignant
hyperthermia? Answer: Screen for family history of MH, assess risk
factors, and educate on post-op temperature monitoring.
◉ What postoperative care should be provided in the PACU? Answer:
Continue to assess temperature every 15 minutes.
◉ What are the early signs of malignant hyperthermia that patients
should be educated about? Answer: Muscle cramps, dark urine, or fever.
,◉ What should be monitored to prevent complications related to
hypothermia in the OR? Answer: Monitor temperature continuously and
use warming devices correctly.
◉ What is the risk associated with cold temperatures in the OR?
Answer: Hypothermia (temperature < 36°C) can lead to delayed healing
and cardiac events.
◉ How should a nurse manage a client with impaired
ventilation/oxygenation who is hypothermic? Answer: Warm them up,
provide oxygen, and closely monitor their breathing.
◉ What preoperative care should be provided to patients at risk for
hypothermia? Answer: Pre-warm patients, especially older adults or
those undergoing long surgeries.
◉ What should be done if a patient shows cold, clammy skin and
decreased temperature? Answer: Intervene early and consider lab tests if
hypothermia persists.
◉ What is the purpose of using a PCA pump postoperatively? Answer:
To manage pain effectively through patient-controlled analgesia.
, ◉ What should nurses assess to evaluate a client's pain response?
Answer: Use a validated pain scale and reassess after administering pain
medication.
◉ What are the potential complications of unmanaged acute post-op
pain? Answer: Decreased mobility, increased risk of DVT, and
pulmonary issues.
◉ What is the importance of educating patients about pain control
expectations? Answer: Patients should understand that pain control does
not mean experiencing zero pain.
◉ What is a key nursing action to prevent aspiration in post-op patients?
Answer: Position patients laterally and ensure proper NPO adherence.
◉ What should be monitored to ensure the effectiveness of pain
management? Answer: Level of consciousness (LOC) and sedation
levels.
◉ What interventions can help manage acute post-op pain? Answer: Use
multimodal analgesia, assess pain levels, and support mobility.
◉ What should nurses do if they notice restlessness and shallow
breathing in a patient? Answer: Reassess pain management and medicate
as necessary.
