Comfort - ANSWER: A state of physical well-being, pleasure, and absence of pain or
stress
Interventions for patients with decreased comfort - ANSWER: Anticipate pain and
emotional stress, collaborate with members of the inter professional team as
needed, and implement pain management measures
Elimation - ANSWER: The excretion of waste from the body by the gastrointestinal
(GI) tract (as feces) and by the urinary system (as urine)
Bowel elimination - ANSWER: Occurs as a result of food and fluid intake and ends
with passage of feces (stool) or solid waste products from food into the rectum of
the colon
Urinary Elimination - ANSWER: Occurs as a result of multiple kidney processes and
ends with the passage of urine through the urinary tract
Continence - ANSWER: Voluntary control of both bowel and urinary elimination
Incontinence - ANSWER: Lack of bowel or bladder control
Retention - ANSWER: inability to expel stool or excrete urine
Obstipation - ANSWER: Inability to pass stool
Oliguria - ANSWER: Scant urine
Anuria - ANSWER: absence of urine
Aging (when pelvic muscles weaken), neurologic disorders, excessive laxative use,
other medication use, GI infections, and lack of exercise - ANSWER: Risk factors for
incontinence include:
Adequate nutrition and hydration, diet high in fiber, stay well hydrated, health
teaching, and collaboration with inter professional team - ANSWER: Interventions to
prevent changes in elimination include:
Foods high in potassium - ANSWER: Oranges and potatoes
Fluid and electrolyte balance - ANSWER: The regulation of body fluid, fluid
osmolality, and electrolytes by processes such as filtration, diffusion, and osmosis.
, Where is extracellular fluid found? - ANSWER: The vascular space (plasma) and
interstitial space (fluid between cells, often referred to as third space fluid)
Electrolytes - ANSWER: Chemicals in the body needed for normal body functioning,
especially the heart and brain
Acute illnesses (e.g., vomiting and diarrhea), severe burns, serious injury or trauma,
chronic kidney disease, surgery, poor nutritional intake, and older adults - ANSWER:
Risk factors that can alter a person's fluid and electrolyte balance include:
What is the minimum hourly urinary output? - ANSWER: Atleast 30mL per hour
Increase in blood pressure due to increased blood volume, peripheral pulses are
often strong and bounding and peripheral edema occurs. - ANSWER: What are the
signs and symptoms of someone experiencing fluid excess (overload)?
Hypotension, tachycardia and weak/thready pulses. - ANSWER: What are the signs
and symptoms of someone experiencing a fluid volume deficit?
Changes in weight - ANSWER: What is the best indicator of fluid volume changes in
the body?
Serum electrolyte concentration, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and serum osmolality -
ANSWER: Tests used to measure fluid and electrolyte imbalances include:
Oranges, bananas, and potatoes - ANSWER: Foods that are good sources of
potassium include:
Fluid replacement, either orally or parenterally - ANSWER: What is the primary
collaborative intervention for patients with a fluid deficit?
Fluid restriction and diuretic therapy - ANSWER: Interventions for patients
experiencing fluid overload include:
Glucose Regulation - ANSWER: The process of maintaining optimal blood glucose
levels
Gas Exchange - ANSWER: The process of oxygen transport to the cells and carbon
dioxide transport away from the cells through ventilation and diffusion.
Alveoli - ANSWER: As adults age, what loses elasticity causing a decrease in gas
exchange?
Normal functioning central (brain and spinal cord) neurons, normal diaphragm
function, adequate skeletal muscle contractility (especially the intercostal muscles
between the ribs), and an intact chest thorax - ANSWER: What does adequate
ventilation require?
