    Study Notes

    Wound Closure Techniques

    • Absorbent sutures dissolve over time, eliminating the need for removal.
    • Nonabsorbent sutures require removal, typically by a nurse.
    • Surgical staples are quick and easy to apply, minimizing infection risk.
    • Avoid stapling wounds on hands, feet, neck, or face.
    • Surgical glue is suitable for clean, low-tension wounds; ideal for skin tears.

    Collaborative Wound Treatments

    • Surgical options address complicated wounds with extensive debridement, skin grafts, secondary closure, and flap techniques.
    • Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) increases oxygen concentration in tissue, boosting blood vessel growth and white blood cell activity for healing.
    • Platelet-derived growth factor accelerates collagen formation and enhances the inflammatory phase of wound healing.

    Factors Influencing Rest and Sleep

    • Biorhythms are influenced by environmental factors like gravity, electromagnetic forces, light, and darkness.
    • Body temperature is lowest upon waking. The female menstrual cycle is cyclical like the lunar cycle.
    • Circadian Rhythm regulates sleep-wake patterns based on a 24-hour cycle.
      • Dietary L-tryptophan and adenosine found in milk, cheese, and animal products promote sleep by converting to serotonin.
      • Carbohydrates, through their effects on brain serotonin levels, can induce relaxation and sleep.
      • Hunger can interfere with sleep, especially in infants and children.
    • Nicotine and Caffeine are CNS stimulants that interfere with sleep.
      • Nicotine makes it harder for smokers to fall asleep and stay asleep.
      • Caffeine inhibits sleep by blocking adenosine, but sensitivity varies.
    • Alcohol speeds sleep onset, but disrupts REM and SWS sleep, leading to awakenings.
      • Heavy alcohol consumption may cause vivid dreams, leading to awakening during REM sleep.
      • Alcohol is a diuretic, increasing the risk of nocturia, which can interrupt sleep.
    • Medications can cause sleeplessness or excessive grogginess and sedation.
      • Hypnotics increase sleep duration but decrease quality.
      • Zolpidem Tartrate (Ambien) promotes REM sleep and has less impact on sleep quality than other hypnotics.
      • Amphetamines, tranquilizers, and antidepressants reduce REM sleep.
      • Barbiturates interfere with NREM sleep.
      • Opioids suppress REM sleep and cause frequent awakenings.
      • Beta blockers may cause sleep disorders and nightmares.
    • Illness increases the need for rest and sleep but also can interfere with sleep.
      • Disease symptoms such as fever, pain, nausea, and respiratory difficulty can disrupt sleep
      • Allergies, hyperthyroidism, and Parkinson's Disease can alter sleep quality.

    Sleep Assessments

    • Insomnia is a disruption in sleep quantity or quality that impairs functioning.
    • Sleep Deprivation is a prolonged decrease in the amount, consistency, or quality of sleep.

    • Disturbed Sleep Pattern is a short-term problem due to external factors (e.g., unfamiliar environment).

    Sleep Outcomes

    • Rest, Sleep, and Personal Well-being for disturbed sleep patterns.
    • Rest, Sleep, and Symptom Severity for sleep deprivation.

    • Demonstrates decreased signs of sleep deprivation.
    • Verbalizes feeling less fatigued and more in control of life activities.

    Sleep Interventions

    • Coping enhancement, energy management, environmental management: comfort, relaxation therapy, and sleep enhancement interventions help address sleep deprivation and disturbed sleep pattern.

    Sleep Assessment Questions

    Sleep Medications

    • Nonbenzodiazepines target specific sleep receptors, reducing CNS depression.
      • Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, headache, and unpleasant taste.
      • Long-term effects are not yet known but may increase the risk of fatal overdose.
    • Benzodiazepines, a class of sedative-hypnotics, are first-line treatments for insomnia.
      • They can be long-acting or short-acting.

      • They carry a risk of rebound insomnia, dependency, and tolerance.
      • Combining with alcohol and some medications can be dangerous.
      • Examples include diazepam, alprazolam, flurazepam, lorazepam, and triazolam.
