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.
