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.
