NCLEX REVIEW – GAPUZ REVIEW CENTER (31 JANUARY – 17 FEBRUARY 2005, PICC, City of Manila)

DAY 1 (31 JANUARY 05) STEPS IN PASSING       

Have a Right Attitude THINK POSITIVELY … have a Fresh Start KNOW what YOU WANT and HOW TO GET IT OVERVIEW OF ESSENTIAL CONCEPT TRY OUT Focus assessment 7 habits of SUCCESSFUL EXAMINEE

MOSBY – growth and development LIPPINCOTT – care of the Elderly and Communicable Disease DIGOXIN – monitor the creatinine… “ the TV DOESN’T look good to me” (DIGOXIN TOXICITY – nausea/vomiting, abdl cramps) Olive = butter CK – normalize 1 – 3 days after MI LDH - 10 – 14 days ATRIAL FLUTTER – SAW TOOTH PROCESS OF ELIMINATION     

consider MASLOW’s H of NEEDS consider the COMPLICATION whether ACUTE CHRONIC ABCs SAFETY FIRST NSG PROCESS

– ALWAYS prioritize

MMR VACCINE – only vaccine for HIV pt. Pt on HEPARIN – APTT (N 30-40sec), therefore if INCREASE – bleeding POISON - nursing action in order : #1 CALL poison control center # 2 MINIMIZE EXPOSURE of pt to poison – pull him/her away from the poison # 3 IDENTIFY the poison GENTAMYCIN

– s/e tinnitus, vertigo, ototoxicity, oliguria

LITHIUM CARBONATE

– for ELDERLY : N level NOT more than 1.0meq/L ADULT : N .5 – 1.2 meq/L

HEPA B diet : low fat, increase CHON

DOWN SYNDROME – large tongue – feeding problem – poor sucking (infants) SAFETY PRINCIPLE 1. when can a child USE ADULT SEAT BELT? - if the infant is 40 lbs and 40 inches in height seat belt location in car: BACK CENTER SEAT 2. TODDLER – falls 3. SUPRATENTORIAL craniotomy – semi fowler’s position INFRATENTORIAL – flat in bed 4. SCATTER RUGS – osteoporosis pts. 5. TRIAGE ; burns, open fx – “SHOCK” Things NOT TO BE DELEGATED by RN: Assessment, Teachings, Evaluation Pt 50y/o and

- mammogram – once a year.

Pt with PKU – LOW PHENYLALAMINE DIET (NOT phenyl FREE). – therefore LOW CHON Pt with Rocky Mountain Fever – exposure to dog ticks Lyme’s Dses – deer ticks PSYCHE PATIENTS 1. remember to stick to unit rules/policy – be consistent to pt. 2. encourage verbalization – “tel me how…..” 3. sound knowledge of cultural diversity - seek help of interpreter 4. acknowledge pt feelings – “it seems….” “this must be difficult…..” 5. emphatize with your patients’s feelings “ I understand how you feel…..” CATARACT – CAUSES – aging and trauma MRSA (methicillin resistant staphyliccocus aureus) - USE GLOVES AND GOWN WHEN W/ PT

DAY 2 ( 01 February 05)

TUBES 1. GROSHONG CATHETER HICKMAN BROVIAC

- 2 lumen - 3 lumen - 1 lumen

ALL requires Central Venous Access - sites: cephalic, brachial, basilica and superior vena cava PURPOSE:

For TPN Administration of Chemo Agents, Blood Products, Antibiotics

COMPLICATION:Thrombosis and Bleeding 2. CHEST TUBES – Water Sealed Drainage Types: Anterior – w/c drains AIR Posterior - w/c drains FLUIDS Water Sealed Drainage : 1 bottle, 2 bottle and Three bottle system 1 BOTTLE :

3 – 5cm of only (length of tube to be emerge)

2 BOTTLE :

First bottle – drainage bottle (no tube emerge), 2nd bottle - long rod 3-5cm

3 bottle

FREQUENTLY USED

:

1st bottle – drainage 2nd bottle – water sealed 3rd bottle – suction bottle control COMPLICATIONS:

bubbling, breakage, blockage

Nsg ALERT: 

NORMAL : BUBBLING is N in the 3rd bottle – it indicates that suction is ADEQUATE (if no bubbling STOPS in the 3rd bottle, meaning – inadequate suction)



ABNORMAL : if bubbling occurs at the 2nd bottle – indicates LEAKAGE – action, check sealed at air tight container and the pt and bottle connection.

In case there BREAKAGE, have extra bottle and emerge tube ASAP to prevent entry of air and or may use forcep to clamp tube temporarily. If pt. ambulates, keep bottle LOWER than the patient. ABSENCE of OSCILLATION at the 2nd Bottle – indicates blockage TOWARDS THE BOTTLE - When MILKING the tubings. EMERGENCY EQUIPMETS AT BEDSIDE: xtra bottle,clamp, gauze

3. TRACHEOSTOMY TUBE - to maintain patent airway for pt w/ neurological problems and musculoskeletal disorders.

nursing care: 1. Suctioning – 10-15seconds - if (+) bradycardia, STOP - if accidentally dislodge, insert obturator to keep it open 2. AVOID: water sports – swimming 3. In changing ties – insert new one first BEFORE REMOVING old tie. 4. Ribbon or ties @ side of the neck only to avoid pressure. 5. Before and After suctioning – hyperoxygenate the patient.

4. PTCA

– enlarge the passageway for bloodflow. problem: spasms that lead to arrhythmia

C-STENT (cardiac-stent) – alternative to PTCA Maintains patency of bld vessels Problem: dislodge IABP (Intra Aortic Balloon Pump) - for Cardiogenic Shock problem: thrombus formation, infection and arrhythmia

5. PENROSE DRAIN - wound drainage system - doctors the one who removes this. - remove gradually

6. NASO GASTRIC TUBE – stomach and intestine (duodenum) Types:  Levine Tube – for stomach - 1 lumen, for lavage (cleaning) and gavage (feeding) 

Salem Sump – for stomach - 2 lumen (I for suctioning, I for lavage/gavage) - if pt (infant) is having enteric coated meds, request for change in form of meds



Miller Abbot – for intestinal (w/ mercury b4 injection) - 2 lumen (insert then inject the mercury)



Cantor – for intestinal - 1 lumen

Nursing Care for NGT: 1. tip of nose to earlobe to xyphoid process (for stomach) 2. tip of nose to earlobe to XP + 7-10 inches for intestinal NGT 3. accurate means to verify correct placement: ALWAYS consider Two checking criteria: ASPIRATION and Gurgling Sounds

Report the following:

If (-) or decrease drainage, (+) nausea and vomiting (+) abdml rigidity Characteristic of Gastric Residual: more than 50 mo and coffee ground. Before feeding check for placement.

7. GASTROSTOMY TUBE (GT) PEG • both for NUTRITIONAL PURPOSES GT – incision (abdomen to stomach) - for pt (+) lesion at esophagus - nsg care : report s/s of infection, abdl cramps, n/v - provide adequate skin care PEG – incision at skin - long term therapy

8. T TUBE - to drain excess bile until hearing occurs - place drainage bag at the level of t-tube (obstruction of t-tube – there will be excess drainage) 500 ml – N drainage in 24hrs, if report ASAP.

9. HEMOVAC JACKSON-PRATTS (JP)  

BOTH used as close wound drainage suction system BOTH system function on the system of (-) pressure.

JP – compress the container before attaching to the drainage. WHEN TO EMPTY: when its usually 1/3 to ½ full then RECORD the amount.

10. THREE-WAY FOLEY absence of clot – effective Characteristic of drainage – 2-3 days after surgery (bloody to pinkish) – NO NEED TO REPORT THIS – it is expected

11. SUPRAPUBIC CATHETER – for genito urinary problem - inserted directly at the bladder wall - check if properly anchored 12. URETHRAL CATHETER – to drain urine. - never clamp because it can only hold 4-8 ml of urine. - keep open to drain urine from kidney pelvis. SENGSTAKEN BLAKEMORE TUBE - 3 lumen ( for esophageal balloon, gastric balloon, for meds) - for pt w/ esophageal varices - balloon tamponade - 48 hrs – keep balloon inflated for 10 minutes to decrease bleeding LINTON TUBE

– 3 lumen

MINESOTTA TUBE

     

– 4 lumen

SCISSORS – important EQUIPMENT AT BEDSIDE FOR ALL TUBES. HEMOSTAT – important instrument that shld be @ bedside for water sealed drainage. Persistent bubbling at water drainage bottle – for bottle #2 – check if tubing is properly sealed. NGT IS REMOVED – if patient exhibits return of bowel sounds. BULB SYRINGE – use to clean the nares of pt with NGT (child) To facilitate removal of air at lungs – purpose of water sealed chamber in 3 way bottle system.

THERAPEUTIC DIET GENERAL CONSIDERATION    



Know the DIAGNOSIS of the patient Identify & incorporate the pt. dietary preferences Instruct pt on what to avoid For pregnant pt, note dietary changes: a. addtl calories (300 cal/day) average of 2400 - 2700 b. addtl of 10gms/day for CHON c. IRON : 15-30mg/day d. CALCIUM : RDA is 1000 then +200mg/day (broccoli,tuna,cheese) e. Galactogogues – increase production of milk

PEDIATRIC pt – by 4-6 mos – START iron supplement due to iron depletion and (-) extrusion reflex. - cereals, fruits, vegetables,meat and table foods - egg yolk (6mos), egg white (1yr)

TRANSCULTURAL CONSIDERATION  CHINESE – like cold desserts after surgery for optimum health  JEWS – “kosher diet” (no meat and diary products at the same time)  EUROPEANS – main meal is served at mid day followed by espresso  MUSLIM – “halal diet” – no pork  SDA – strictly vegs diet (vit B6 and B12 deficiency)  MORMONS – words of wisdom (no caffeine, alcohol and once a month fasting) – the amount due for food is donated to the church

DAY 3 ( 02 February 05)

POSITIONING FOR SPECIFIC SURGICAL CONDITION Positioning a. b. c.

– independent nsg function know the purpose of the position to prevent or promote soothing; what to prevent or promote; know your anatomy & physiology

Post Liver Biopsy

– R side lying – to prevent bleeding

(during the procedure – L side lying). Hiatal Hernia



– upright to prevent reflux.

AMPUTATION complication: hemorrhage (keep tourniquet @ bedside) 1st 24hr – goal: to decrease edema – elevate the stump at foot part w/ the use of pillow AFTER 24hr – goal : to prevent contracture deformity (keep leg extended)



APPENDICITIS Unruptured : any position of comfort

Ruptured : semi to high fowler’s position to prevent the upward spread of infection complication: peritonitis Ruptured appendicitis indication: pain decreases or go away. (pt say, “I want to go home pain is gone”)



BURNS Position is FLAT or Modified Trendelenburg – to prevent shock.

SHOCK occurs w/in 24-48hrs (immediate post burn phase). Complication: infection



CAST, EXTREMITY Elevate the Extremity – to prevent edema (use rubber pillow)

Nsg care: a. b. c. d. e.

capillary refill – N 1-3 seconds only (complication: altered circulation) note for s/s of infection (when there is musty odor inside the cast) pruritus (inject air using bulb syringe) blood stained – mark and note (if increasing in diameter - report ASAP) tingling sensation – indicate nerve damage



CRANIOTOMY Types:

a. Supratentorial C – semi fowler’s orlow fowler’s position – to prevent accumulation of fluid at surgical site; b. Infratentorial C - flat or supine. Purpose: same



FLAIL CHEST (+) Traumatic Injury – paradoxical chest movement – areas of chest GOES IN inspiration and OUT on Expiration

position: towards the affected side to stabilize the chest.



GASTRIC RESECTION -



HIATAL HERNIA -



to prevent dumping syndrome – usually for 10 mos only NOT LIFETIME disorder (post gastrectomy) position : LIE FLAT for 1-2hrs post meal

there is damage to esophageal mucosa what to prevent: gastric reflux therefore FEEP PT IN UPRIGHT POSITION.

HIP PROSTHESIS Position: to prevent subloxation (KEEP LEG ABDUCTED) with the use of wedge pillow or triangular pillow from perinium to the knees. dumping syndrome : “flat”



LAMINECTOMY -

“log-roll the patient” (3 nurses) – KEEP SPINE IN STRAIGHT ALIGNMENT

-



LIVER BIOPSY -



before LB : supine or L side lying to expose the part during LB : - doafter LB : R side lying w/ small pillow under the coastal margin to prevent bleeding.

LOBECTOMY -



AVOID: hyperflexion, hyperextension and prone – it causes hyperextension of the spine.

removal of Lobe (N R lobe – 3, L lobe – 2) position : semi fowler’s position – to promote lung expansion

MASTECTOMY -

removal of breast elevate or extend affected arm to prevent lymp edema (or elevate higher that the level of the heart. AVOID: venipuncture, specimen taking, blood pressure – ON THE AFFECTED ARM coz there is no more lymph node w/c predispose pt to bleeding. Post mastectomy Exercises:

squeezing exercises, finger wall climbing, flexionextension (folding of clothing, washing face, vacuuming the house)

Due to removal of axillary lymph node, avoid also gardening and hand sewing



PNEUMONECTOMY -



RADIUM IMPLANT OF THE CERVIX -



either L or R lung. Position pt on the AFFECTED SIDE to promote lung expansion.

keep pt on complete bed rest to prevent dislodge. AVOIDE SEX (may burn penis bec of the implant inside)

RESPIRATORY DISTRESS Adult : Orthopneic position – over bed table then lean forward Pedia : TRIPOD – lean forward and stick out tongue to maximize the Airflow



RETINAL DETACHMENT

-

to prevent further detachment, place pt on the AFFECTED SIDE.

Ex. If operation is on the R outer of the R eye, place pt on the R position. If operation is on the L inner of the R eye, position pt on the L side AVOID: sudden head movement.



VEIN STRIPPING -

keep extremities extended then elevate the legs at level of the heart to promote venous return

TIPS  liver biopsy is done on a pt. – during 1st 24hrs after the procedure, turn the pt on his abdomen w/ pillow under the subcoastal area;  when draining the L lower lobe of the lung – the pt shld be positioned on his R side w/ hip higher or slightly higher than the head;  after tonsillectomy – position: prone  a pt is about to go on thoracenthesis - how shld the nurse position the pt? – sitting w/ a arms resting on the overbed table;  to maintain the integrity of pt w/ hip prosthesis – abduction splints  immediately after supratentorial craniotomy- fowler’s position  best position for pt in shock – supine w/ lower extremities elevated

THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION 1. DON’T ASK WHY – this put pt on the defensive 2. AVOID PASSING BACK – “I will refer you to….” 3. DON’T GIVE FAKE REASSURANCE – “everything will be alright….” “you’re in the hands of the best” 4. AVOID NURSE CENTERED RESPONSE – “I felt same too…” “I had the same feeling….” In GROUP DISCUSSION – nurse is just a facilitator – let the group decide, he/she channel are concern back to the group. THERAPEUTIC PHRASES – it seems… you seem…. - open ended question - close ended – for manic pt and pt in crisis - direct question- for suicidal pt

TIPS: 

When implementing universal precaution, w/c nsg action require intervention: recapping the needle – this might prick your hand;



When discarding the contents of the bed pan use by a pt under enteric precaution – GLOVE IS NECESSARY;



A nurse is giving health teaching to the parents of child with scabies: family member must be treated;



Preventing pediculosis in school age children: avoiding contact w/ hair articles of infected children like clips, head bands, hats – no sharing



Patient with full blown AIDS is placed on isolation precaution – pt ask nurse why his visitors is wearing mask – response: it will help in the prevention of infection;

Essential when a pt w/ meningitis is kept in isolation: isolation precaution remains until 24hrs after initiating antibiotic therapy



DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES side notes: pt for IVP pt for KUB schilling test USG

: : : :

assess for allergy (cleansing enema b4 the procedure) no dye (don’t assess for allergy) 24hr urine specimen no consent required

GENERAL CONSIDERATION

•

-

EXPLAIN the procedure to the pt (initial nsg action) if not ready inform the doctor; pt has the right to refuse procedure; doctor the one who asked for consent

•

Check pt for CONSENT – if INVASIVE – WITH CONSENT NON INVASIVE – NO CONSENT needed

•

CONTRAST MEDIUM – check for allergy

•

For procedure requiring anesthesia – KEEP PT NPO B4 PROCEDURE When local anesthesia used – NPO, 1- 2HRS AFTER General anesthesia – keep NPO at least 8hrd after (check gag reflex before meals)

•

PEDIATRIC PATIENT – use flash cards, games and play to encourage participation

TRANSCULTURAL CONSIDERATION

HISPANIC PATIENT – women prefer same gender health care provider Obtain help of interpreter when explaining procedures – (except or don’t ask family members) For muslim patient - they prefer same sex health care provider however, if procedures require life threatening – they prefer to have male doctor. - they only want good news information of their condition

DELEGATION and DOCUMENTATION

Delegation – assessment, monitoring and evaluation of treatment (cannot be delegated) BUT standard and changing procedures can be delegated ex. – 24hr urine specimen and urine catheter

collection. Documentation – type of treatment and any untoward reactions.

KEYPOINTS FOR NURSES   

Prepare the patient; Monitor for adverse reaction; Report complication to the doctor

FRAMEWORK – includes the Purpose, Special Consideration and Interpretation

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS (to evaluate FETAL GROWTH AND WELL-BEING) 

DAILY FETAL MOVEMENT Purpose : to determine fetal activity by counting fetal movements – usually perform by pt himself

N Fetal Movement



10-12 for 12 hr period (average: 1 movement/hr with average 3fm/hr)

NON STRESS TEST (NST) – correlates fetal heart rate w/ fetal movement -

monitor the baseline FHR then induce fetal movements by (HOW) : a. ring a bell b. feed the patient

then check FHR, NST is (+) if FHR increase at least 15 beats/min than the baseline. (ex. 140 FHB baseline, then after challenge it increase to 155) POSITIVE result means, BABY is REACTIVE (good condition) and no need for contraction stress test/oxytocin challenge test – coz baby is OK and doing well.



CONTRACTION STRESS TEST (oxytocin challenge test) -

correlates FHR with uterine contractions pt on NPO get baseline FHR then induce uterine contraction

HOW: Thru breast stimulation – it triggers the release of oxytocin from pituitary gland… If (-) patient is given Oxytocin – onset is 20-30 minutes. Then check FHR and note the presence of DECELERATION (slowing of FHR) types of deceleration a. early deceleration – indicates head compression (MIRROR IMAGE)

b. late deceleration – indicates placental insufficiency (REVERSE MIRROR IMAGE) mgt: L Lateral Recumbent Position, Administer O2, Treat Hypotenson

c. variable deceleration – due to cord (image: U or W shape) and slowing of FHR can occur anytime.

If (+) CST, meaning there is deceleration, baby is NOT OK coz there is decrease FHR and during labor he/she may stand the labor process.



BIOPHYSICAL PROFILE –

to determine fetal well being w/ the use of 5 CRITERIA

fetal breathing movement heart tone reaction to NST amniotic fld volume

2 points 2 points 2 points 2 points 2 points 10 points

score below 6, indicates fetal jeopardy



ULTRASOUND - provide data on placenta (age and location) gender of baby structural abnormalities position of baby - for pregnant: site is lower abdominal USG

types: a. Upper USG – NPO b. Lower USG - NPO - preparation: increase fluid intake (oral) NO consent needed If pt ask if it is painful: NO PAIN; Pt shld have full bladder CHORIONIC VILLI SAMPLING – CVS AMNIOCENTESIS – AMNIO PERCUTANEOUS UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD SAMPLING – PUBS

CVS Purpose: to detect chromosomal Aberration (eg. Down syndrome, Trisomy 21) Done in 1st trimester (can be done as early as 5th wk but can be done on 8-10th wk)

Get sample at chorion (by 10-12wks – The placenta matures, get some sample)

AMNIO Purpose : same w/ CVS

PUBS Purpose: to check chromosomal aberrations, & presence of RH Incompatibility

can be done on the 2nd wk (14-16 wk) - but not recommended bec. of danger abortion (assess pt age of gestation)

Extract blood at umbilical cord then it is tested if it really comes from the umbilical cord (can be done on either 2nd or 3rd tri.

or can be done on the 3rd wk (34-36 wk) purpose: to detect fetal maturity (FLM) thru monitoring of L/S Ratio N 2:1 (if mother is (+) DM LS ratio is 3:1) This procedure also check level of alpha-feto Protein – if INCREASE – spina befida; If DECRTEASE – down syndrome

(+) Consent – invasive

(+) Consent

Bladder : Empty

consider the Pt Age of Gestation (if age of gestation :

(+) Consent

is higher than 20wks and above : empty bladder, if AOG is 20wks and below : full bladder

COMPLICATIONS of CVS, AMNIO & PUBS: a. b. c. d.

infection bleeding abortion fetal death

TIPS

• EARLY DECELERATION – expected in the fetal monitor when there is fetal head compression;

• AMNIOCENTESIS – was done @ 35 wks gestation – purpose: to determine fetal lung maturity;

• A mother asked the nurse what will amniocentesis provide during pregnancy: it will show as whether the baby lungs are developed enough for the baby to be born;

• a nurse is preparing pt for lower abdl usg – w/c of the following done by the pt needs further teaching – pt voids b4 the procedure;

• after amniocentesis w/c of the following manifestation if observed by the nurse on the patient that needs to be reported : bleeding; • heart rate;

pt ask the nurse – what deceleration means – it refers to slowing of baby’s

•

before Amniocentesis, what to check – USG DEVICE

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS (to evaluate pediatric patients) CARDIOPNEUMOGRAM – use to diagnose apnea of infancy – assess HR, RR, nasal airflow and O2 saturation – N 95-98% below 85 – report ASAP GLUTEN CHALLENGE - detect presence of Celiac Disease (CD) - intolerance to gluten; - pt is given gluten rich food for 3-4 months the observe s/s of CD s/s of CD:

abdl cramps, steatorrhea, abdl rigidity, abdl distention (if + for CD, gluten free diet will be for life time)

ORTOLANI’S TEST (OT) purpose: test developmental dysplacia of the hip or congenital hip dislocation (+) if w/ click sound (lateral)

BARLOW’S MANUEVER (BM) purpose : same (+) barlow’s click – press downward and w/ click sound

POLYSOMNOGRAPHY or “sleep test” -

EEG is connected to pt when he sleeps Check the brain waves, check for apnea of infancy preparation : No Special prep, HOLD CAFFEINE FOOD – 2days b4 test

SCOLIOMETER -

measure the degree or angle of scoliosis check for: (+) scoliosis if uneven hemline uneven waist more prominent iliac rest and scapula on one side presence of rib hump

test for pre-teen : “bend over test” – bend and touch the toe; (+) scoliosis – if presence of rib hump, therefore x-ray then scoliometer. SICKLEDEX TEST

HGB ELECTROPOISIS

Purpose: test for sickle cell anemia

Purpose: test for sickle cell anemia

Specimen : Blood : (blood + solution, if (+) TURBID Specimen : Blood : bld + electropoiesis, if sickling of RBC Therefore TRAIT CARRIER (S or C shape RBC), therefore + for SC Dses Test for TRAIT

Test for Disease

GUTHRIE CAPILLARY BLOOD TEST (GCBT) - to detect PKU (in PKU there is absence of PHENYLALAMINE HYDROXYLASE- PH) Phenylalamine hydroxylase – is an enzyme that converts PH to Tyroxine – the one that gives color to hair, eyes and skin. If absent PH, no one will convert PH to Tyroxine, therefore it will accumulates to brain and can cause mental retardation. PH came from CHON rich food. At birth, it is usually negative, so give CHON food first for 3wks then retest. Before test, give chon rich food for 1-4 days before test. (adult) N PH level - >2mg/dl (if 4mg/dl – indicative of PKU, 8mg/dl – confirms PKU)

SWEAT CHLORIDE TEST -

to detect Cystic Fibrosis (in CF, the skin becomes impermeable to Na. meaning cannot reabsorb Na and it accumulates outside of the skin); Mother complain that her baby taste salty; PILOCARPINE – used in the test to induce sweating;

Types: a. sweat chloride test – N 10-35 meq/L (above 40 meq/L– (+) b. serum chloride test – N 90-110 meq/L (above 140 meq/L – (+)

TIPS 

pt w/ PKU would more likely to have (+) result in gluten capillary bld test if there is – adequate CHON in the diet;



mother complains that her baby taste salty – which test is to be performed : sweat chloride test;



9 yo pt has (+) result for sweat test – this indicates possible dx of Cystic Fibrosis;



pilocarpine – drug used for pt undergoing seat chloride test;



hgb electropoisis – test for sickle cell dses

DAY 4 (3 Feb 2005)

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES I.

CARDIOVASCULAR

A. ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHY – records the electrical activity of the HEART P wave – atrial depolarization QRS complex – ventricular depolarization ST - repolarization Rhythm – appearance of wave and distance Rate - N 60-100 bpm – check on # of QRS then divide it by 300 (k) ABNORMALITIES

a. atrial fibrillation – p waves “halos magkadikit. (no discernable p waves) b. atrial flutter – “saw tooth” flutter waves c. ventricular – check on QRS (N - .8-.12) ANGINA – st segment elevation, t wave inversion MI - st segment elevation or depression, t wave inversion

B. CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION -

it determine the structural abnormalities in the heart either L or R sided catheterization site: antecubital, femoral, brachial

common complications: embolism, bleeding, arrythimia “EBA” nsg mgt :  monitor distal pulses (if brachial site: check @ radial if femoral site : check @ dorsalis pedis)  if weak or no pulse – REPORT  if (+) bleeding – report (“sandbag 10-20 lbs” – shld be at bedside)

C. STRESS TEST -

 Staff nurse is observing a nurse caring for pt w/ cvp. W/c action of the nurse require intervention? – touching the edge of the soiled dressing using clean gloves.

 Pt undergoing ERCP – important prep for nurse to make would be: keep pt NPO b4 the procedure.

 Pt w/ coronary angiogram, the catheter was inserted at the L femoral artery. w/c intervention is appropriate after the procedure: palpate the popliteal and pedal pulses.

 In explaining to the pt about cystoscopy the nurse shld say : the bladder lining will be visualize.  A mantoux test is (+) – if the nurse assesses w/c of the following: in duration.  w/c of the ff will yield an accurate reading of CVP: when the zero level of the manometer is at the level of R atrium.

 w/c responses made by the pt indicates that he understands the procedure to be done in a CT scan: “a dye will be injected to me”.

 A pt is to have an upper GI series – which statement shows that he understood the instruction given : “I will drink the dye”.

 After liver biopsy, a potential complication: bleeding.  MRI is the primary diagnostic tool for multiple scelosis bec it promotes visualization of plaques at the brain.

Side notes:

Characteristics of HEART MUSCLE: a. CONDUCTIVITY – ability to propagate impulses; b. AUTOMATICITY - ability of heart to initiate contraction; c. REFRACTORINESS – ability of t heart to respond to stimulus while in the state of contraction; d. EXCITTABILITY - ability of the heart to be stimulated Inotropic effect - force of contraction or strength of myocardial contraction; Chromotropic Effect – conduction of impulses; CHRONOTROPIC Effect - rate of contraction

ANTIARRYTHMIC (quinidex, pronestyl) -

repolarization – resting phase (k goes out)

depolarization – stimulating phase (Na goes in) (therefore the depolarization and repolarization of heart muscle depends on Na and K pump.) K – once it increase or decrease, it affects the repo and depo of heart muscle which causes arrhythmia. And so, to maintain the balance in the Na and K pump give antiarrythmia because it decreases the automaticity of the heart. Antiarrythmia is effective if (-) arrhythmia; Give meds anytime;

Nsg Dx : PAIN Altered Tissue Perfusion Impaired Gas Exchange

• Priority : Airway (Oxygenation) •

Goal of CARE a. To decrease oxygen metabolic demand - position : SEMI-FOWLER’S - administer O2 as ordered - administer meds: MI : Morphine SO4 – monitor RR, effective : (-) pain, ANTIDOTE : Naloxone HCL – Narcan ANGINA : Nitroglycerine – dark container give b4 activity maximum of 3 doses, 5 mins interval effective: tingling sensation, sublingual provide rest – due to pain b. Diet : Low Na and Low Cholesterol

HEALTH TEACHINGS: 

Identify types of Angina: Stable Angina – predictable – angina that occurs w/ activity; Unpredictable – relieved by Nitroglycerin; Variant/ Prinzmetal – severe form of Angina; Nocturnal Angina – occurs at night; Decubitus Angina – when pt is lying down Intractable Angina – unresponsive to tx Post MI Angina



For patient with MI – focus on complications :

a. PVC or PVBeats – defibrillation/ cardioversion b. Ventricullar Fibrillation – Lidocaine – s/e “rashes”



CARDIOVERSION

DEFIBRILLATION

- synchronize - esp. for VTACH w/ PULSE

- unsynchronized - for VTACH w/o PULSE



SEX – for pt w/ MI – resume if pt tolerate 2-3 plights of stair w/o pain; - take meds b4 sex; - position during sex : passive – let the girl do her share

 

ACTIVITY – advised pt to have frequent rest period; DIET : avoid PROCESSED FOODS; MILK Salty Sea Foods Pastries – esp. yellow cake

FOR ANGINA APIN – instruct patient to report pain that last more than 2o minutes (indicative of MI); 

Weak or absent PULSE – indicative of VENTRICULLAR FIBRILLATION



Report NECK VEIN DISTENTION – indicative of CHF complication



Report BLEEDINGs – especially to pt on THROMBOLYTICS – t-PA and Streptokinase

CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE main problem : PUMP FAILURE – inability of the heart to pump an adequate amount of blood to meet the metabolic demands of the body how will the heart compensate?

The HEART will pump harder- Inc HR (tachycardia) – that will result to enlargement of the heart muscle (hypertrophy) – w/c can lead to dilatation and congestion of the cardiac muscles - thereby resulting to decrease in the cardiac output.

PUMP FAILURE EFFECTS:  

Backward Effects : backflow of blood – systemic congestion; Forward Effects : decrease cardiac output – dec in tissue O2 perfusion – that leads to overwork respiratory system

LEFT HEART FAILURE – early signs of CHF Therefore, Right Heart Failure – will be the late signs of CHF as complication of LHF Risk Factors to Heart Failure:

- Arrythmias - Coronary Dses & HPN - Renal Failure LEFT SIDED HF – dyspnea and other “pulmonary s/s” – “crackles”

CARDIO-PULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR) -

indicated for cardiac arrest when pt is BREATHLESS and PULSELESS;    

shake the pt – are you ok? If breathless & pulseless then; ACTIVATE the EMS – Help! CPR (1 or 2 rescuer : 15 : 2) In 1 minute, there will be 80 compression and 15 – 20 rescue breaths Depth of Compression : 11/2” – 2” If too deep - it may fx the liver Effect of CPR : #1 (+) Pulse; #2 skin color

TIPS FOR CARDIOVASCULAR – ADULT

•

A nurse is assigned to a pt with arterial dses of lower extremities, w/c of the ff is expected – calf pain after short walking (intermittent claudication);

•

A pt was diagnosed w/ MI develop atrial fibrillation – this may possibly lead to – CEREBRAL EMBOLISM;

•

A pt w/ CHF was admitted exhibiting confusion, disorientation, visual disorders & hallucination – the nurse best action is to – CALL THE PHYSICIAN;

•

A nurse is assessing a pt w/ MI – w/c of the ff is the characteristic of PAIN – pain radiates to the jaw;

•

In utilizing mind over body principle for pt w/ HPN – w/c intervention is appropriate - relaxation and stress mgt;

•

Pt exhibits intermittent claudication – another sign of peripheral dses is w/c of the ff – tropic skin changes;

•

Ff MI, when shall I resume sexual activity? – when you can climb 2 plights of stairs w/o shortness of breath then sexual activity is safe;

•

A pt has R sided CHF, w/c of the ff is expected – hepatomegally;

•

Apt w/ CHF who is taking diuretics exhibits the ff, w/c requires further investigation (not expected to pt) – wt gain of 3 lbs in 2 days;

•

In addition to assessing a pt w/ Burger’s Dses, w/c of the ff data supports the Dx. – smoking;

•

A pt with R sided HF will manifest – distended jugular vein

RESPIRATORY General Consideration:   

use the DIAPHRAGM of the steth when assessing breath sounds; use steth directly on pt. skin – because clothing my interfere w/ auscultation; when the pt chest is hairy, wet the hair w/ dump cloth – because dry hair interfere w/ auscultation

Consideration w/ Pediatric Patient: 

when assessing pediatric pt, RR is affected when – therefore check RR FIRST;



Note for chest indrawing (if +, may indicate Pneumonia) and rapid breathing

Reportable Signs and Symptoms : common TO ALL RESPIRATORY DISORDERS “RE TACHY TACHY D C”

 

RETRACTIONS - #1 or Early sign for respiratory distress; Tachycardia

  

Tachypnea Dyspnea Cyanosis – late sign of respiratory Distress

Key Points for Assessment - note for abnormalities in RATE, RHYTHM & DEPTH Common CHARACTERISTIC in Breathing

   

BIOTS – increase in depth followed by apnea; - pt w/ neuro impairement Cheyne-Stroke – increase in rate and depth of breathing followed by apnea; - nero case Kussmauls – deep rapid breathing; Apneustic – forceful inspiration followed by slow expiration – dying patient

At birth, the child can maintain temperature by burning brown fat – and increase burning – bi products is Increase fatty acids that will cause acidosis – that can worsen the Resp. Distress Syndrome – a group of symptoms (mgt: maintain temperature). HYPOVENTILATION

Cause: Lack of O2

Effect: ACIDOSIS

HYPERVENTILATION ALKALOSIS Cause

: lack of CO2 – the pt will decrease rate of breathing to save CO2. co2 then combine with H2O to form carbonic acid – if inc, can lead to acidosis – and the brain will compensate by hyperventilating – and increase elimination of CO2 will cause ALKALOSIS.
