What other information would you need to make certain a patient understands the side effects and storage of SL NTG? What risks does A. Fib pose for a patient who has been having chest pain? Having pacemaker insertion surgery (DDDR pacemaker) places a patient at risk for several serious complications. What are three potential problems that the nurse should monitor for as he/she cares for a patient with this pacemaker?

If a patient asks you if acupuncture hurts, what do you say to them? I know that you shouldn't tell them that something doesn't hurt 'cause you never know how they'd feel about it themselves...

Just fluids, and on the dorsal side of the hand. Pt. is 90 years old.

This is probably a dumb question, but when the IV nurse goes to insert an IV into a patient, what is usually the size of the IV?

So, I am trying to work up a diagnosis for my patient. Background: Se. Osm. of 281.3, meaning they are overloaded with fluid RBC, Hgb, and Hct were also low, which could also indicate fluid overload along with nutritional deficit Pt. has traction of L foot Pt. had foley removed at 0945 with 100mL of urine, and had not urinated the rest of the time i was there (about noon) Based on this information, I was thinking fluid volume deficit as a dx. So, how would i work that into a fluid volume deficit...r/t...AEB dx? I'm stuck. Please help. I also had another dx down as increased risk for impaired skin integrity r/t physical immobilization AEB pt.'s presentation with left foot traction. Is that ok? PLEASEEEE help me Thank you.

I had a pt. who delivered lady partslly and had a high blood loss (double what is normal for a lady partsl delivery). She then had a shift intake of 1,000mL and output of 110mL. Also, she was dizzy upon standing and was unsteady with ambulation. BP in the morning was 80's/50's, everything else was normal. My first diagnosis (based on what my instructor wanted): Fluid deficit r/t EBL AEB shift intake of 1,000mL and output of 110mL Second diagnosis: Activity intolerance r/t EBL AEB pt.'s unstable gait, BP of 89/50, and pt.'s report of dizziness upon standing. Are these ok?

Hi everyone, i'm having trouble with nursing diagnoses, and I need 2 different dx for my pt. Background: pt. is a lady partsl delivery & lost almost 2 times the normal amount of blood postpartum. I need to base my dx off of the blood loss/fluid imbalance afterward. One of my dx is: fluid volume deficit r/t EBL AEB shift intake of 1,200mL and output of 130mL My second one is: unsteady gait r/t EBL AEB pt. reporting dizziness upon standing Are these ok? Pleaseee help me!
