    Study Notes

    Delegation Guidelines

    • Use the acronym EAT (Evaluate, Assess, Teach) to remember what cannot be delegated.
    • Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAPs) cannot be delegated tasks related to EAT, medication administration, and care of unstable patients.
    • Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) cannot handle tasks involving blood-related care.

    Measurement Conversions

    • 1 ounce equates to 30 mL, a common conversion in pharmacology.

    Blood Pressure Calculation

    • Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) can be calculated using the formula: MAP = (SBP + 2(DBP)) / 3.

    Central Venous Pressure (CVP)

    • Normal CVP range is between 2 to 8 mmHg.
    • Elevated CVP may indicate right ventricular failure or fluid volume overload.

    Assessment Order

    • Follow the sequence: Inspection, Palpation, Percussion, and Auscultation.
    • Note: For abdominal assessments, Auscultation is performed after Inspection.

    Blood Types and Compatibility

    • Blood Type O: Can receive from O; can donate to O, A, B, AB.
    • Blood Type A: Has Antigen-A and Antibody-Anti B; can receive from A or O; can donate to A or AB.
    • Blood Type B: Can receive from B and O; can donate to B and AB.
    • Blood Type AB: Universal recipient; can receive from AB; can donate to O, A, B, AB.

    Traction Types

    • Buck's Traction: Used for knee immobility.
    • Russell's Traction: A sling is placed under the knee, suspending the distal thigh above the bed, often utilized for femur or lower leg fractures.
