which is priority in the post-op pt

I just wondered what you guys would have put for this question....it was one on our test this morning...

Basically it said "which takes priority in the post op client"....the only two that made sense were...

oxygen @ 85%

temp @ 94.3

There was no specific pt information, no predetermining factors such as COPD or anything like that. Just a normal post op client.

I chose the oxygen, but others chose the temp. Just wondered your thoughts.....THanks!!!

"why would a post op pt remain in a supine postion for 24 hours after receiving spinal anesthesia?"

spinal headache was one

change in bp was another

spinal headache can also occur because there is a change in the amount of cns fluid once an injection has been made into it. once the patient elevates their head it changes the pressure in the cns system and can create an insyant headache.
