Study Notes

Age and Development

A child typically starts drinking from a cup at around 12 months old.

Labor and Delivery

The definitive sign that labor is about to begin is the initiation of contractions.
During true labor, discomfort usually begins in the lower back, abdomen, and then radiates over the entire abdomen.
When the cervix is 75% effaced, 7cm dilated, and 0 station, it means the acceleration phase of the first stage of labor is about to begin.
The membranes are most likely to rupture during the perineal phase of the second stage of labor as the head of the body crowns.

Supply Management

To distribute supplies equitably, one should first collect data on daily consumption of supplies.
It is best to requisition supplies 30 days prior to their consumption.

Pediatric Care

For pediatric patients who need intravenous therapy, a size 24 cannula is often used.
For patients with ulcerative colitis, a nursing diagnosis of risk for deficient fluid volume due to abnormal fluid loss is suitable.

Abdominal Pain

When a patient complains of biliary colic, the nurse should ask questions like "When do you feel the pain? Is it after a heavy meal?"
During a comprehensive assessment, the nurse may find jaundice and facial grimaces in a patient with cholelithiasis.

Quality Improvement

The Fishbone diagram is a cause-and-effect diagram used in quality improvement.
The Gantt chart is useful for planning and scheduling projects, but it does not help assess how long a project should take.

Nursing Process

The correct sequence in the quality improvement process is to identify and select strategies, implement a solution in a small scale, evaluate QI outcomes, expand the scope of QI throughout the organization, and state the problem.

Client Satisfaction

Client satisfaction surveys are not used to directly address the health problems presented.

Medication Administration

Anticholinergic drugs like atropine sulfate, glycopyrrolate, and scopolamine are administered to reduce oral and respiratory secretions before surgery.

Anesthesia

Epidural anesthesia is often used for surgeries of the lower abdomen, perineum, and lower extremities.

Surgical Safety

The sign-out area of the surgical safety checklist includes verbal confirmation of the patient, site, and procedure to be done, and confirmation of instruments, sponge, and needle counts.

Bioethics

When a patient refuses a life-sustaining treatment, the bioethical principle of autonomy is respected.
