Study Notes
Bone Disorders
- Types of fractures (matching)
- Osteoporosis
- Osteomyelitis
- Gout
- Compartment Syndrome
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- Rhabdomyolysis
- Case study on post-op ORIF patient with one-sided lower extremity pain and swelling. Includes questions on potential complications, nursing interventions, and SBAR reporting.
Perioperative Care
- Patient education (pre-op, post-op, and discharge) including smoking cessation, concerning pre-operative symptoms, and discharge instructions.
- Prevention and management of common post-operative complications (e.g., pneumonia, DVTs).
- Use of IV and oral medications in pain management.
- Informed consent procedures.
Sleep
- Sleep apnea (signs, symptoms, treatments, CPAP, and non-CPAP interventions).
- Sleep deprivation (signs and symptoms).
- Sleep hygiene (best practices).
- Bonus question: HR changes in age/fitness levels.
Nutrition
- Nursing considerations for patients on parenteral and enteral feedings (patient safety concerns, PPN vs. TPN vs. tube feeds).
- Metabolic syndrome factors.
- Lab values, diagnostic studies (fasting glucose, vital signs).
- Labs linked to nutritional status, including signs/symptoms of low albumin levels.
Skin
- Refeeding syndrome
- Sunscreen guidance and recommendations.
- Wound healing (smoking impacts).
- Role of skin in general health.
- Signs/symptoms of atopic dermatitis.
Fluid and Electrolytes
- Differences between hypo, hyper, and isotonic fluids.
- Types of IV fluids (refer to Electrolyte Quick Reference Guide).
- Clinical manifestations and causes of hypo/hyper (refer to Electrolyte Quick Reference Guide).
- Treatment for hyperkalemia.
- Causes of fluid deficit and excess (fluid imbalance study guide reference).
- Deficit - loss of fluid.
Renal
- Labs that link to kidney function and expected lab findings in CKD.
- Causes of types of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI).
- Clinical manifestations of each phase of AKI.
- Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
- Causes of uric acid kidney stones.
- Medications for chronic kidney disease (reference PowerPoint).
