Study Notes
Pain Management and Pharmacology
- Monitor for urinary retention in clients receiving morphine IV bolus for pain control.
- Opioids can cause constipation; recommend hydration, increased fiber intake, and exercise to mitigate effects.
- Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) allows clients to self-administer pain relief, but will not double dose if the button is pressed multiple times.
Psychiatric Nursing
- Therapeutic communication with family members of clients in a manic phase is crucial. Encourage discussion about home experiences.
- For clients with schizophrenia experiencing auditory hallucinations, create a supportive environment and avoid confrontation about hallucinations.
Pediatric and Dietary Considerations
- Children diagnosed with celiac disease require a strict gluten-free diet; whole wheat is not permissible.
- For newborn cord care, instruct parents to keep the cord stump dry, and contact a provider if it shows signs of infection, such as blackening.
Diabetes Management
- Clients with diabetes should be initiated on long-acting insulin, potentially glargine or NPH, for stable blood glucose management.
- Monitor blood glucose levels regularly and adjust treatment accordingly.
Nutritional Support
- Ensure that carbohydrates are managed appropriately in clients with diabetes, considering meal planning tools and food exchanges from recognized health sources.
Emergency Response
- In cases of suspected allergy to penicillin, prioritize monitoring vital signs and managing the client’s acute reactions.
Cancer Care
- Toddlers with acute lymphocytic leukemia should be engaged in suitable play activities that promote development without excessive physical strain.
Infusion and Transfusion Practices
- When administering packed RBC transfusions, prime IV tubing with 0.9% sodium chloride and utilize appropriate IV catheter sizes.
- For clients with diabetic ketoacidosis, initiate fluid replacement with normal saline, avoiding overly rapid changes in serum osmolality.
General Health Education
- Ongoing education on glucocorticoid therapy should include the importance of calcium supplements and annual eye exams to monitor potential side effects.
