NUR 4227 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, Modes Of Mechanical Ventilation, Subcutaneous Emphysema
Document Summary
Know the different oxygen delivery methods (i. e. mask, cannula, ppv, cpap, peep) and be able to determine which delivery method is best for clients experiencing respiratory symptoms. Respiratory study guide: nc, 1-6l, 24-44% o2, when o2 sat below 94, non-rebreather, 1-15l, up to 95% o2, when o2 sat below 90, ppv, positive pressure ventilation. Intercostal muscle retraction: non-specific, cerebral****, agitation, disorientation, restless, combative, delirium, confusion. If the following occur within the first hour, notify hcp at once: drainage > 200 ml, subcutaneous emphysema, respiratory distress, monitor color and amount of drainage. If unit overturned, have patient exhale and cough: do not clamp. Reestablish water seal: some facilities have nurse place distal end of tubing in 2cm of sterile, pleural effusions water, collection of fluid in pleural space, s&s of a disease process, processes leading to effusion. Increased production of fluid due to decreased oncotic pressure in pleural space.
