A solution with a lower concentration of solutes than body fluids. Used to treat cerebral edema, hyponatremia, and hypovolemia.

High potassium levels in the blood. Characterized by ECG changes (wide QRS, prolonged PR, no P waves), muscle weakness, and potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias.

Low potassium levels in the blood, potentially caused by vomiting, diarrhea, or diuretics.

A solution with the same concentration of solutes as body fluids. Used for surgery, burns, and blood loss.

A solution with a higher concentration of solutes (salts) than body fluids. Used for treating conditions like DKA and hypernatremia.

Normal potassium blood levels are between 3.5 and 5.

Low blood volume. Characterized by low blood pressure, rapid weight loss, and decreased urine output.

High blood volume. Characterized by high blood pressure, rapid weight gain, and edema.

Keeping the intravenous (IV) site clean and functioning properly.

Symptoms of pneumonia include fever, rapid breathing, rapid heartbeat, productive cough, chest pain, chills, and low oxygen levels.

Nursing interventions for pneumonia include assessing the patient, managing symptoms, providing respiratory support, and ensuring the patient's comfort.

Assess for use of accessory muscles, sweating, bluish skin, and lung sounds during an asthma attack

Treatment for asthma involves using albuterol (rescue inhaler) and corticosteroids to maintain control.

Common asthma symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, prolonged exhalation, and speaking in short sentences.

Verify tags and numbers, send blood and tubing to lab, obtain labs and urine samples.

Early signs of low oxygen include altered mental status, restlessness and agitation.

A stroke affecting the left side of the brain, often causing right-sided weakness, speech difficulties, and visual field deficits.

A stroke affecting the right side of the brain, often causing left-sided weakness, spatial awareness problems, and impulsivity.

A type of heart attack with a complete blockage of a coronary artery, leading to ST segment elevation on an EKG.

A type of heart attack with a partial blockage of a coronary artery, resulting in non-ST segment elevation on an EKG.

A middle ear infection requiring antibiotics for treatment.

Chest pain that occurs predictably with exertion and follows a consistent pattern.

Chest pain that is new, unpredictable, and often occurs at rest or with less exertion.

An infection of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord caused by bacteria, potentially leading to serious complications.

A clouding of the natural lens of the eye, leading to blurred vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night.

Common symptoms include blurry vision, difficulty seeing at night, glare, and distorted or faded colors.

Factors that increase the likelihood of developing cataracts include age, diabetes, smoking, prolonged sun exposure, and certain medications.

Treatment primarily involves surgical removal of the cloudy lens and replacement with an artificial lens.

Following cataract surgery, patients need to follow instructions regarding eye drops, activity restrictions, and infection prevention.

Infection of the inner lining of the heart, particularly the heart valves. It can be subacute (slow and affects damaged valves) or acute (fast and affects healthy valves).

Treatment involves intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics for at least 6 weeks, careful monitoring of blood cultures, and prompt management of complications such as fever and chills.

Teaching for patients with a new pacemaker includes information about incision care, arm restrictions, avoiding direct blows, and safe use of electronic devices.

Patients with pacemakers must avoid strong magnetic fields like those found in MRIs and antitheft devices.

Administration of a complete nutritional formula directly into the bloodstream, used when the GI tract cannot properly absorb nutrients.

Nursing care for patients on TPN includes frequent blood sugar checks, monitoring for complications like hyperglycemia, maintaining sterility during administration, and careful fluid management.

A condition characterized by significant weight loss or lack of weight gain despite proper nutrition, often associated with underlying medical problems.

FTT can be caused by various factors including medical issues, genetic abnormalities, nutritional deficiencies, and even abuse.

Laboratory tests used to investigate FTT include albumin, serum protein, alkaline phosphatase, BUN, creatinine, and other tests based on the suspected cause.

Imaging studies used for FTT include X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and biopsies, depending on the suspected underlying condition.

Cataracts are cloudy areas that develop in the natural lens of the eye, causing blurry vision.

Cataracts can be caused by aging, eye trauma, congenital factors, long-term steroid use, and UV light exposure.

Nursing assessment for patients with cataracts includes evaluating visual acuity, assessing psychosocial impact, and assessing the patient's understanding of the condition.

Relevant nursing diagnoses for patients with cataracts include self-care deficit, anxiety, and potential for complications following surgery.

Planning care for patients with cataracts includes setting preoperative goals and providing education about surgery and postoperative care.

An autoimmune disease where the body's immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, resulting in an absolute lack of insulin.

A metabolic disorder where the body either doesn't make enough insulin or doesn't use insulin properly, leading to high blood sugar levels.

A serious complication of diabetes characterized by high blood sugar, ketones in the blood, and metabolic acidosis.

A serious complication of diabetes marked by extremely high blood sugar, dehydration, and altered mental status.

Insulin with a quick onset, peaks in a short time, and has a relatively short duration.

Insulin with a moderate onset, peaks later than rapid-acting, and has a longer duration than rapid-acting.

Insulin with a delayed onset, takes longer to peak, and has a longer duration than short-acting.

Insulin that provides a slow, steady release of insulin over a prolonged period, lasting up to 24 hours.

High blood pressure, often called the "silent killer" as it can have few symptoms.

A stroke caused by a blood clot blocking an artery in the brain, leading to tissue damage.
