Study Notes
Pharmacology (1)
- Pharmacokinetics: Movement of a medication from administration site to the circulatory system. Includes absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.
- Pharmacodynamics: Biochemical changes in the body caused by a medication.
- Agonists: Medications binding to a receptor, causing a greater-than-typical response.
- Antagonists: Medications binding to a receptor, either blocking a response or causing a less-than-typical response. Can be competitive or non-competitive.
Perfusion (1)
- Definition: Blood flow through arteries and capillaries, delivering nutrients and oxygen to cells.
- Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): Reduced cardiac output leads to reduced oxygen delivery to tissues; localized vessel blockage/inadequacy; symptoms include pain, cramping, and coolness. Risk factors include smoking, hypertension, diabetes.
- Peripheral Venous Disease: Vessel damage or poor venous return. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and skin changes. Risk factors include obesity, prolonged standing.
- Causes of Impaired Perfusion: Systemic (reduced cardiac output); Local (vessel blockage, etc.)
- Nursing Interventions: Vasodilators, vascular interventions (to open narrowed vessels), risk factor reduction.
Fluid and Electrolytes (3)
- Fluid Volume Excess (Hypervolemia): Excessive fluid intake or abnormal fluid retention; can lead to swelling. Lab values may show a decreased level.
- Fluid Volume Deficit (Hypovolemia): Inadequate fluid intake, excessive fluid loss or plasma shifting. Lab values may show increased levels.
- Sodium Imbalances: High sodium (hypernatremia) due to inadequate fluid intake or excessive sodium; Low sodium (hyponatremia) due to decreased sodium intake or excess water loss.
- Potassium Imbalances: High potassium (hyperkalemia) may result from kidney failure, or medications; Low potassium (hypokalemia), may be caused by some medications.
- Fluid Balance Management: Accurately measuring and recording fluid intake and output is crucial.
Pain (4)
- Classifications & Types: Acute, chronic, breakthrough.
- Nursing Assessment & Evaluation: PQRSTU (Provoking/Palliative Factors, Quality, Region, Severity, Timing, Understand patient's experience); Pain scales, and other subjective data may be collected.
- Nursing Interventions: Pharmacological (NSAIDs, opioids, etc.) and non-pharmacological (techniques like relaxation, guided imagery).
Other Topics (5-13)
- The remaining sections cover various topics like gas exchange, glucose regulation, hormonal regulation, infections, elimination, nutrition, tissue integrity, inflammation, and specific disorders like osteoporosis, Cushing's, and Addison's disease.
- Each section details causes, clinical manifestations, priority nursing assessments, and interventions for those topics.
