functions of the cuff, obturator and the tie. care of clients with pooling of secretions. Postural drainage: do
this before meals, the positioning depending on the location of secretion, POPEVICO [arrangement] that is
positioning, percussing, vibrating and coughing etc. study suctioning.
7. The independent and the dependent variable in research
8. Know your PURE and APPLIED as well as EXPERIMENTAL and NON-EXPERIMENTAL also your
QUANTITATIVE and QUALITATIVE designs
9. IV fluid tonicity: D5LR is hypertonic while LR is isotonic
10. Complication of IV and its intervention such as FLUID OVERLOAD, PHLEBITIS, INFILTRATION.
11. Blood transfusion
12. Complication of immobility: DECUBITUS ULCER, HYPO PNEUMONIA, ATELECTASIS, DEEP
