Study Notes
- An adult's normal body temperature ranges from 97.8°F to 99.1°F.
- A healthy adult's normal oxygen saturation level is 95-100%.
- Bradycardia is defined as a heart rate less than 60 bpm.
- Tachypnea is characterized by a respiratory rate greater than 24 breaths per minute.
Toileting and Perineal Care
- For male patients, wipe from the tip of the penis to the base during perineal care.
- A common complication of prolonged catheter use is a urinary tract infection (UTI).
Feeding and Abduction
- When feeding a patient with limited mobility, allow them to eat independently if possible.
- Adduction refers to moving a limb towards the midline of the body.
Range of Motion and Ambulation
- Active range of motion exercises are performed by the patient alone.
- When assisting a patient with ambulation using a walker, walk beside the patient.
Gait Belt and Colostomy Bag Dressing
- A gait belt should be placed over the patient's clothing when safely moving patients
- When emptying a colostomy bag, use clean gloves.
Affected Arm and Limited Mobility
- When transferring a patient with an affected arm, use the unaffected arm for support.
- For clients with limited mobility, assist with range of motion exercises.
Dementia and Alzheimer's Care
- Use simple, clear instructions when communicating with a client with dementia.
- For clients with Alzheimer's, it is important to maintain a consistent routine.
Hearing Aids and Dentures
- When caring for a patient's hearing aids, clean them with a dry cloth.
- Dentures should be soaked in a denture solution overnight.
Grooming and Oxygen Use
- When grooming a patient, use the patient's personal grooming items.
- Keep the oxygen source away from open flames when using supplemental oxygen.
Using Pillows for Support
- Pillows can be used to support a patient's limbs, elevate a patient's head, and prevent pressure ulcers.
