Study Group Question - Do you think you know it?

Rhogam is used to treat mothers that are RH negative that have a RH positive baby.....

1st born normally ok, but after that antibodies attack the baby so RHogam must be given to prevent that from happening!

Hey I like these questions!!! Its really making me think!

I think you know it:up:

what vital sign is excepted to be normal in a geriatric patient?

Would you like some ???'s

How do you position a patient preop for a liver biopsy? What about Post op?

:ancong!:

A lower body temperature is normal in geriatric pt.

How do you position a patient preop for a liver biopsy? What about Post op?

Pre-op position for liver biopsy is left side

post-op position for liver biopsy is right side

All vitals should be normal in geriatric pt, but to answer your q, I would have to say heart rate since HTN is common problem and temp can actually decrease as we age (and when sick in elderly). Pain could be common (i wouldn't say normal) due to arthritis. O2 should always be normal (between 90-100or 95-100 depending on facility or book you are reading!.) OK i don't know! What's the answer?

what vital sign is the most to be monitored closely after administering nitroglycerine?:thnkg:

The question is asking what is normal in geriatric pt, which make it temperature because they have low body temp.

Body temperature regulation while it is a problem with the elderly, it is still expected to be within normal ranges. Thermoregulation is harder to control and can go from one extreme to the other very quickly. Whatever the case that vital sign is definetly supposed to be within normal, anything outside of that would be an abnormal finding...

for Nitro watch Blood pressure, watch for Hypotension!!!!

As for the liver biopsy question....

Preop--supine arms up

Post op- right side..

Here's another ?

What is the treatment of choice for DKA in a conscious patient?
