EXAM 4 REVIEW 1. Priority assessment/intervention for a patient who had an allergic reaction to a vaccine Page 365 chart 20-3 Emergency care of the patient with anaphylaxis  Immediately assess the respiratory status, airway, and oxygen saturation of patients who show any symptoms of an allergic reaction  Call the RRT  Ensure that intubation and tracheotomy equipment is ready  Apply oxygen using a high-flow, nonrebreather mask at 90% to 100%  Immediately discontinue the IV...

NUR 265 EXAM 3 STUDY GUIDE (100% Correct) This is an all-inclusive guide to NUR 265 EXAM 3 STUDY GUIDE. IICP is leading cause of death from head trauma in pts who reach the hospital alive.  Cerebral Perfusion Pressure (CPP) o Blood flow required to provide adequate oxygenation & glucose for brain metabolism o Maintenance above 70 mmHg o CPP= MAP-ICP  MAP= (2xD) + S MAP NEEDS TO BE ATLEAST 80 3  Compensation o First Response – CSF is shunted or displaced into the spine (compl...

NUR 265 EXAM ONE STUDY GUIDE (100% Correct). Nephrotic Syndrome: o NS is a condition of increased glomerular permeability that allows larger molecules to pass through the membrane into the urine and then be excreted. o Immunological Kidney disorder o This causes massive loss of protein in the urine, edema formation, and decreased plasma albumin levels.  Proteinuria- severe protein loss more than 3.5 g in 24- hour urine sample. o Key features:  Massive proteinuria >3.5g /...

NUR 265 Advanced Exam 1 STUDY GUIDE. Anatomy of the Kidney: - The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney. - Normal GFR is 120-125. - If 75% of nephrons quit = renal insufficiency. - Kidneys are sensitive to changes in cardiac output. VOLUME DEPENDENT. A decrease in urine output indicates a decrease in cardiac output. - If the SBP is below 70 for over 40 minutes, the kidney will become hypo then ischemic. - If the SBP drops, the arterioles dilate. If the SBP elevate, arterioles con...

Renal Failure 1. Compare the pathophysiology of acute and chronic renal failure. o Acute: Reversible; onset is hrs. to days; must intervene ASAP **Preventing volume depletion (hypovolemia, fluid volume deficit) is a nursing priority because this is the most common cause of AKI; Recognizing the early s/s (low urine output, orthostatic hypotension, decreased systolic BP, decreased P, thirst, and rising blood osmolarity) and intervening to restore volume can reverse AKI and prevent permane...
