Study Group Question - Do you think you know it?

late decels are indicative of uteroplacental insufficiency; 2 interventions are to reposition the mother and administer oxygen via a face mask

pH: 7.24

paCO2: 49

HCO3: 36

Identify the blood gas abnormality. Is it compensated or uncompensated?

Late deceleration means UTEROPLACENTAL INSUFFICIENCY.

Intervention are: change position of the mother to left side

Aminister oxygen to the pt

what are the modifiable risk factor for CAD?

Partially Compensated Respiratory acidosis....for the lab values above....

Modifiable risk factors for CAD that I can think of, smoking, weight, cholesterol, sedetary lifestyle, High fat diet...um yeah I know I am missing some things...someone is surely to think of something else...

Ok, another question...

For a client taking Amphojel when should they be instructed to take it? and what do they take it for?

AMPHOGEL: Is used to suppress secretion of stomach acid. Must be taken with water and must not be swallowed whole but must be chewed thoroughly before swallowing to prevent it from entering the small intestine. Also must be taken at least an hour prior other medication to prevent adverse effect.

I am truly enjoying this thread! What is Amphojel take for?

Amphojel is taken for Gastric and duodonel ulcers as well as relief from Gastritis and reflux....It works by reducing the acid concentration and pepsin activity by raising the PH...watch for constipation, Phosphorus and Calcium levels...

Since isolation and infection control are biggies being mentioned from recent test takers lets throw some of those out there....Here's a match question( or drag and drop if you will)....

Match the disease/problem with the right type of isolation!

9. Hep A with diarrhea

10. Meningitis

A. Standard

B. Airborne

C. Contact

D. Droplet

1. Varicella - AIRBORNE

2. MRSA - CONTACT

3. Urinary tract infections -STANDARD

4. open infected wounds -CONTACT

5. Pneumonia -DROPLET

6. Measles AIRBORNE

7. TB -AIRBORNE/DROPLET

8. HIV-STANDARD

9. Hep A with diarrhea- STANDARD/CONTACT

You have 3 babies in the pediatric room, which baby will you assess first

1-pyloric stenosis who is a newborn

2-Esophageal atresia who is newborn

3-PKU who is a day old.

1. Varicella - AIRBORNE

2. MRSA - CONTACT

10. Meningitis -DROPLET

Varicella-Airborne:yeah:

MRSA-Contact:yeah:(but only if it is in a wound or in the urine), standard if in urine or in the skin, and droplet if in the respiratory tract

Urinary tract infection-Standard:yeah:, unless they have MRSA then its contact

Open wound infection-contact:yeah:

Pneumonia-droplet:yeah:

Measles- Airborne:yeah:

TB- Airborne:yeah: not really considered droplet according to CDC...may use contact if drainage of any kind

HIV- Standard:yeah:

Hep A with diarrhea-standard if continent and contact if incontinent:yeah:

Meningitis- droplet:yeah:
