    Study Notes

    Wound Assessment

    • A Nurse assesses for blanching by applying pressure to the skin, and if the skin turns white, it is a sign of blanching.

    Braden Scale

    • The Braden Scale focuses on major risk categories, including mobility, activity, sensory perception, nutrition, friction, and shear.

    Ulcers

    • Venous ulcers are most often found on the lower extremities.

    Wound Types

    • Major types of wounds include surgical, traumatic, and chronic wounds.

    Surgical Wounds

    • Major complications of surgical wounds include infection, dehiscence, and delayed healing.

    Infection Control

    • The three main modes of transmission are contact, droplet, and airborne.
    • Standard precautions used on all clients include gloving, gowning, and hand hygiene.
    • Infection control bundles include bundles for central lines, ventilators, and surgical sites.

    Lab Values

    • The expected WBC count is 4,500-11,000 cells/mm³.

    Isolation Precautions

    • A client requiring airborne precautions needs a negative pressure room.
    • A client requiring droplet precautions needs a mask, gloves, and gown.

    Pain Management

    • The four ethical principles related to pain management are autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice.
    • The five types of pain scales used in hospitals are the numeric rating scale, visual analog scale, McGill pain questionnaire, faces pain scale, and brief pain inventory.

    Medical Conditions

    • Crohn's Disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
    • Diverticulosis is a condition where small pouches form in the wall of the colon.
    • Dysuria is painful urination.
    • Types of urinary incontinence include stress, urge, and functional incontinence.
    • Nocturnal Enuresis is bedwetting.
    • Diverticulitis is inflammation of the diverticula.
    • Ulcerative Colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.

    Pain

    • Neuropathic pain is caused by nerve damage.
    • Nociceptive pain is caused by tissue damage.

    Therapy

    • The principles of heat and cold therapy include using heat to increase blood flow and reduce pain, and using cold to decrease blood flow and reduce inflammation.

    Inflammation

    • The steps of inflammation include increased blood flow, increased permeability, and white blood cell migration.
