Thanks! I am going to talk to my instructor about how she will be testing us on it.

sorry about that. it has been sent again. let me know if you don't get it this time.

I sent it to [email protected]

i forwarded it to you.

I think that interventions would depend on the cause of the impaired circulation, frequently things like range of motion exercises and ambulation can help. There's a lot of potential complications and risks associated with circulatory problems. Some of the more common ones that come to mind include pressure sores (which is probably the most common) and orthostatic hypotension/syncope (which can put the patient at risk for falls). Hope this helps! Good luck with your paper.

I can't figure out how to attach a file here but if you want a copy of the letter that I wrote to get back in to the program give me your email address and I will gladly send it to you.

I am a second semester student. We are working on Heparin calculations and IV drip calculations. I thought I remember being told in a lecture that you can never round medications up, but now I can't find it anywhere in my notes and some of the online practice quizzes I've been taking allow it. Please tell me what the rule is for rounding medication calculations. Thanks in advance.

I'm first year and other than bed changing, bathing, and some med administration I've been able to witness a colonoscopy and a crazy dressing change in the wound care clinic.

No, I'm familiar with those too and our class has even added a seventh, the right to refuse. I found what I was looking for in one of my handouts though. Three checks done to verify correct medication: 1) as the medication is taken from the patient's drawer 2) as the medication is place, still in its package, in a paper cup or on a small tray 3) just before opening the package to administer the dose to the patient Thanks to everyone for their help.

I know that there are 3 checks that must be done before administering medication but they are not listed specifically in my textbook. Going by my notes the checks are as follows: 1) Check the doctor's orders 2) Check the medication name to the MAR 3) Check the medication when administering This doesn't seem quite specific enough to me, would someone please elaborate for me?

Thanks. I didn't know that ascultating the lungs would affect the oxygen saturation level.

I am a first year/first semester student working on my first case study and have reached the last part of the assignment. I won't go into all of the medications and details because I think I've already dealt with that portion of my assignment but this is a summary of the most relevant information about the patient that I am dealing with now: -Admitted for COPD -VS at 0600: Temp 98.8 Pulse 102 Resp 32 BP 146/98 -Pulse Ox 89% -VS at 12:00 noon Temp 102 Pulse 98 Resp 32 BP 140/84 -He is now expectorating thick, yellow-colored sputum My assignment is to prioritize the following nursing interventions: A. Auscultate lung sounds B. Administer antipyretic if ordered C. Provide cooling measures D. Check oxygen saturation level E. Retake VS in 2 hours F. Inform physician This is what I believe the proper order is but I would appreciate any guidance. #1-F #2-B #3-C #4-A #5-D #6-E Thanks in advance for help.
