please help me with these qs..

well I'm gonna try my best here, sorry if I make any mistakes. And if I do, don't hesitate to correct me.

question #1) the vein will look red, and should be warm to the touch.

question #2) I'm not sure but wouldn't it be impaired bowel elimination related to bowel surgery. The actual colostomy wouldn't give you impaired elimination, something else will, maybe the colon cancer. For the colostomy, it could be risk for impaired skin integrity.

question #3) to prevent the clots the nurse should squeeze the bag every 30 mins or so. once the bag has clots I'm not too sure.

question #4) not sure sorry

question #5) you should assess breathing. remember your ABCs.

question #6) you want to orient them to the equipment so that they understand what is being used by them or by the nurse. so you don't have to explain it again later.

hope this helps

2)Impaired bowel elimination r/t colostomy bag 2ary to colon cancer. Is there any errors w/ that nsg dx.?

3)if packed blood cells have clots in the bag, what should the nurse do- should she sent it back to lab; inject heparin to take away the clots?
