PNE 186 Test 3 Study Guide: Bowel and Urinary Care, Catheterization, and Assessments

Soft, formed, and brown in color

To encourage deep breathing and lung expansion

Air embolism

To assess for urinary retention or incomplete bladder emptying

Hemolytic reaction

To assess the function of nerves and blood vessels

Performing a bladder scan = Assessing urinary retention Performing a neurovascular assessment = Assessing circulation and nerve function Using an incentive spirometer = Improving lung function post-surgery Collecting a 24-hour urine = Assessing kidney function

Administering eye and ear drops = Using aseptic technique Inserting, managing, and discontinuing an indwelling catheter = Maintaining sterile technique Administering insulin = Drawing up and mixing insulin accurately Performing a bladder scan = Using ultrasound to assess bladder volume

Traction care = Regular assessments for complications Tracheostomy care = Maintaining airway patency Ostomy care = Ensuring proper appliance fit Cast care = Monitoring for signs of infection

Musculoskeletal assessment = Recognizing abnormalities in bones and muscles Neurovascular assessment = Assessing circulation and nerve function Respiratory assessment = Evaluating lung function and breathing patterns Urine characteristics assessment = Identifying abnormalities in urine content

Coughing and deep breathing techniques education = Improving lung expansion and clearing secretions Hip replacement post-op care education = Ensuring proper rehabilitation exercises Stool characteristics education = Differentiating between normal and abnormal bowel patterns Insulin administration education = Teaching correct injection sites and technique

Monitoring IV infusions = Checking flow rate and site for complications Collecting a 24-hour urine sample = Ensuring accurate collection over the specified time period Blood transfusion monitoring = Observing for signs of transfusion reactions Tuberculosis testing monitoring = Interpreting results for diagnosis

Tests to determine a client’s respiratory status = Pulmonary function tests and arterial blood gas analysis Blood transfusion complications recognition tool = Monitoring vital signs for signs of reaction Urine characteristics assessment tool = Visual inspection and laboratory analysis Respiratory patterns assessment tool = Observation of breathing rate, depth, and rhythm

Oxygen therapy precautions = Avoiding open flames due to oxygen's combustibility IV infusion precaution = Checking for signs of infiltration or phlebitis Enema administration precaution = Maintaining proper temperature to prevent injury IM injection precaution = Aspirating before injecting to avoid hitting a blood vessel

Medication Administration focus: = Recognizing adverse effects of drugs being administered. Blood transfusion focus: = Recognizing blood type incompatibility. Respiratory tests identification focus: = Determining lung capacity and oxygenation levels. Musculoskeletal abnormalities identification focus: = Recognizing bone fractures or muscle injuries.
