Study Notes
Surgical Care
- To prevent cerebral edema after craniotomy, the nurse should expect the use of medications that reduce swelling.
- Halfway through the administration of blood, the nurse should stop the infusion and monitor the client for signs of an allergic reaction.
HIV Infection
- A positive diagnosis for HIV infection is made based on the presence of HIV antibodies in the blood.
Chronic Renal Failure
- An adequate amount of high-biologic-value protein is recognized when the client selects food high in protein, such as meat, fish, and poultry.
Uremic Syndrome
- The nurse should anticipate complications such as hypertension, heart failure, and anemia.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
- The most relevant assessment would be the client's ability to urinate and any signs of obstruction.
Penile Implant
- After 24 hours of surgery, the nurse should monitor the client for signs of edema and pain.
Chest Pain
- An increased myoglobin level suggests myocardial damage or infarction.
Mitral Stenosis
- The client would demonstrate symptoms associated with congestion in the lungs, such as shortness of breath and coughing.
Hypertension
- The priority nursing diagnosis would be the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Angina
- The client should be taught about common expected side effects of nitroglycerin, including headaches, dizziness, and orthostatic hypotension.
Lipid Abnormalities
- A risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis and PVD is high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.
Aortic Aneurysm
- A significant risk immediately after surgery for repair of aortic aneurysm is bleeding or hemorrhage.
Vitamin B12
- The best supply of Vitamin B12 is obtained from animal-based foods, such as meat, fish, and dairy products.
Aplastic Anemia
- The nurse monitors for changes in blood cell counts, including anemia, thrombocytopenia, and neutropenia.
Elective Splenectomy
- The nurse's final assessment before surgery would be the client's understanding of the procedure and any signs of bleeding.
Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL)
- The peak age range for acquiring ALL is children under 5 years old.
Leukemia
- Clinical manifestations may indicate all of the following except fever, which is not a typical symptom of ALL.
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)
- Heparin is contraindicated with the client due to the risk of bleeding.
Hypovolemic Shock
- The best indication that fluid replacement is adequate is the client's blood pressure and heart rate returning to normal.
Laryngeal Cancer
- An early manifestation of laryngeal cancer is a change in voice quality or hoarseness.
Myasthenia Gravis
- Immunosuppressive therapy is effective because it reduces the production of abnormal antibodies that attack the nervous system.
IV Mannitol
- An assessment specific to safe administration is the client's urine output and electrolyte levels.
Insulin Delivery Devices
- The advantages of these devices over syringes include ease of use, convenience, and fewer injections.
Fracture Tibia
- To assess for damage to major blood vessels, the nurse should monitor the client for signs of circulation problems, such as numbness or tingling.
Long Leg Cast
- After the cast is removed, the male client should perform exercises to prevent muscle atrophy and strengthen the affected leg.
Gout
- The nurse should assess for additional tophi (urate deposits) on the ears, fingers, and toes.
Crutch Walking
- The client demonstrates understanding of crutch walking with tripod gait when they place weight on the hand grips and axilla.
