Broca's Area - (answer)Speech
The cortical area that is responsible for integrating the myriad pathways required
for the comprehension and formulation of language is called Broca area. It is
located in a convolution adjoining the middle cerebral artery. This area is
responsible for control of the combinations of muscular movements needed to
speak each word.
Chemo Side Effects - (answer)Nausea
Vomiting
Myelosuppression
SIADH, decrease renal perfusion, precipitate end products after cell lysis, and
cause interstitial nephritis
Cardiac Toxicity
Testicular and ovarian function can be affected by chemotherapeutic agents,
resulting in possible sterility.
Chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity, a potentially dose-limiting toxicity, can
affect the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, and/or the cranial
nerves
Chemo Brain:
, 2
Many patients with cancer experience difficulty with remembering dates,
multitasking, managing numbers and finances, organization, face or object
recognition, inability to follow directions, feeling easily distracted, and motor and
behavioral changes.
Fatigue
Expressive Aphasia - (answer)Inability to express oneself
Meningitis First Step - (answer)Broad Spectrum Antibiotics
Glaucoma Symptoms - (answer)The patient may not seek health care until he or
she experiences blurred vision or "halos" around lights, difficulty focusing,
difficulty adjusting eyes in low lighting, loss of peripheral vision, aching or
discomfort around the eyes, and headache.
Assessments for Guillain Barre - (answer)The patient is monitored for life-
threatening complications (respiratory failure, cardiac dysrhythmias, VTE
[including DVT or PE]) so that appropriate intervention can be initiated. Because
of the threat to the patient in this sudden, potentially life-threatening disease, the
nurse must assess the patient's and family's ability to cope and their use of coping
strategies.
Maintain respiratory function
Enhancing physical mobility
Promote adequate nutrition
Improving communication
, 3
Decreasing fear and anxiety
Managing potential complications
Multiple Sclerosis & 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
From Google:
Many multiple sclerosis (MS) patients are affected by urinary retention. Common
causes include neurogenic underactive bladder and/or bladder outlet obstruction
from detrusor sphincter dyssynergia
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.
Compartment Syndrome - (answer)Diagnosis of compartment syndrome is based
on clinical suspicion, assessment of the 6 P's (pain, poikilothermia, pallor,
paresthesia, pulselessness, and paralysis)
