ATI Med Surg: Cardiovascular & Hematology
pernicious anemia- needs monthly injections of vitamin B12
aplastic anemia- needs blood transfusion
hypovolemic shock- administer 0.9 sodium chloride - Two IV solutions are used for acute
volume expansion : 0.9 sodium chloride and Lactated Ringer's solution. Sodium Chloride
is a physiologic isotonic solution that replaces lost volume in the blood stream.
Thrombophlebitis- monitor activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)
INR levels- monitor if patient is taking warfarin
essential hypertension- primary or essential hypertension has no identifiable cause.
secondary hypertension- is related to an underlying pathology
Prothrombin time- nurse needs to evaluate after a fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfusion
Hemoglobin normal values:
o Females 12-16 g/dL
Males 14-18 g/dL
hematocrit normal values
o Females 37-47%
Males 42-52%
serum albumin normal values- 3.5 to 5.0 g/dL

, ATI Med Surg: Dermatological
Treatment of Malignant Melanoma of left upper leg- surgical excision
Cryosurgery- treatment for Squamous/Basal Cell Carcinomas
Secondary Intention wound healing- diet high in PROTEIN and VIT. C - Secondary takes
longer to heal
Papules- small, solid, elevated lesion with distinct borders; smaller than 10 mm
ACNE, WARTS
Macules- flat, variably shaped, discolored; smaller than 10 mm
Basically change in color of skin
FRECKLES, 5TH'S DISEASE RASH
Wheals (HIVES)- transient, elevated lesions caused by localized edema
ALLERGIC REACTION
Vesicles- circumscribed, elevated lesion containing SEROUS FLUID
Arise from HERPES, POISON IVY, CHICKENPOX
Angiomas (BIRTHMARKS)- benign vascular tumors involvinsking and SubQ
Flat, violet, red-coloed patches (PORT-WINE)
RAISED, bright red, nodular lesions (STRAWBERRY)
Most common MALIGNANT tumor- MELANOMAS
Snakebite- IMMOBILIZE LIMB BELOW LEVEL OF HEART - prevents spread of venom
Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry
Frostbite- burned appearance due to RBC aggregation with microvascular occlusion;
As blood reaches freezing temps, RBCs aggregate/CLUMP- causes occulsion of small bvs
and leads to loss of superficial BF - discoloration resembles a superfical, partial-thickness
burn
