CVP Central Venous Pressure(Ride Side) Normal CVP 2-10cm water. Amount of blood returning to heart and ability of heart to pump blood into arterial system.
High CVP Indicates (CVP of 14)Right sided heart failure. Hypervolemic
Low CVP Indicates (1) Hypovolemic. Hemorrhaging.
Pulmonary disorder PAIN pain below heart. sides radiating over
Receptive Aphasia inability to understand what someone else is saying. Damage to temporal lobe(wernike's area)
Objective Liver Exam Dilated abdominal veins. Spider anginomas Hepatomegaly Protruding belly button Janudice Fector Hepaticus Edema MSC
Liver Function Test More than 70% of parenchyma may be damaged before positive test.
ALT Liver Function test
AST High metabolic tissue test(non-specific livertest)
Jaundice High bilirubin(over 2.5)Hepatocellular-damaged cells, hepatitis, meds. Obstructive
Renal Insufficency Kidney Function~14-40% Metabolic waste begins to accumulate.
Acute Renal Failure Risk factors Age Preexisting renal disease Diabetes Dehydration nephrotoxic
Preload Degree of stretch of cardiac muscle fibers @ end of diastole. Greater the volume of blood entering during diastole, greater the ejected
Compensation PH normal Abnormal PaCo2. Use 7.40pH
Metabolic Acidosis pH low. PCO2 low. DKA. Diarrhea. Renal Failure. Shock. Salicylate Overdose.
Esophageal Varices Enlarged tortuous vein or artery. Related to impaired drainage of the esophageal veins into portal veins. Added pressure causes vessel wall to weaken and rupture.
Asses Esophageal Varices ETOH, liver disease, pain, occult blood, hematemesis, hemopysis, jaundice, cirroses
Surgery Varices Sclerotherapy, ligation, balloon, shunting
Constipation Assesment Surgery Interventions History: Stool patterns, Onset, Duration, Severity. Ever had it before? Diet habits. disease, Abdominal sounds/distention. Surgery: Resection, fiber supp. laxatives
Constipation NSG interventions Diet, High Fiber, High Fluids, Activity, Ambulation.
Ulcer Complications Dumping: Rapid gastric emptying. Abdominal Pain, NVD. Explosive diarrhea, malnutrition, small freq. meals. High protein, no carbs.
Appendicitis inflammation of the appendix. Lumen of the appendix is obstructed by e-coli, resulting in infection.
Assess Appendicitis Fever, Pain, High WBC, Anorexia, N/V, lower RQ pain. Rebound tenderness.
Intervention for Appendicitis Emergent Surgery, Monitior S/S of infection, pulmonary status, Drains, Dressings.
Diverticula sac like protrusions of the intestinal wall
Gastritis inflammation of the stomach mucosa when stomach has been exposed to irritants. ex. H.Pylori
Assessing of Gastritis Epigastric pain, burning, nausea, Pain w food, occult blood.
Medicine and NSG interventions for gastritis Upper GI, Antacids, Proton Pump, Monitor pain, admin meds, Monitor response, teach meds. and lifestyle.
Emetic Med Ipecac. Irritates Gastric mucosa. Induces Vomiting. Side Effects: Aspiration, seizure.
Subjective Liver Exam Peripheral Edema, Fatigue, dry skin, abd. pain, change in mental status, anorexia, early morning N/V
Hydroureter Dilation of ureter
Ileus NSG Assess. Abdominal pain, Nausea, Constipation, bloating, distention, low Na and K+, high BUN, Vomiting, Bowel Resection
Ileus Intervention encourage ambulation, encourage turn and deep breathe q2h, Monitor I&O, IV manage, NG tube
Cushing's Syndrome too much cortisol wide range of effects, moon face, obese trunk
Addison's Disease hyposecretion of adrenal cortex hormones, corticosteroid (hydrocortisone) and mineralocorticoids (aldosterone). The condition is fatal if untreated.
Assessment Addison's Disease Lethargy, fatigue, and muscle weakness Gastrointestinal (GI) disturbances Weight loss Menstrual changes in women; impotence in men Hypoglycemia Hyperkalemia Postural hypotension Dehydration Emotional disturbances/MS Δ’s (60-80 %)
Chronic fatigue Muscle weakness Anorexia and weight loss Symptoms of Addison's Cause Decreased cortisol, improper metabolism.
Symptoms of Addison's:Hyponatremia (demonstrated by salt craving) Caused by: Nausea Vomiting.
Symptoms of Addison's: Orthostatic hypotension Hyponatremia (decreased sodium in blood) Hyperkalemia (elevated potassium in blood) Alsdosterone deficiency and hypovolemia limit BP control and effective excretion of proper waste products. 
Addison's:Hyperpigmentation of skin Increased corticotropin levels due to decreased feedback.
Addison's Disease Implementation Monitor V/S particularly BP, weight, and I&O Monitor blood glucose and K levels Administer glucocorticoid or mineralocorticoid medications a/o Observe for Addisonian Crisis secondary to stress, infection, trauma, or surgery.
PT. Teaching Addison's Avoid individuals with infections Avoid stress Need for lifelong glucocorticoid therapy Wear a Medic-Alert bracelet
Addisonian Crisis A life-threatening disorder caused by acute adrenal insufficiency Precipitated by stress, infection, trauma, of surgery Can cause hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, hypoglycemia, and shock
Addisonian Crisis Assessment Severe headache Severe abdominal, leg, and lower back pain Generalized weakness Irritability and confusion Severe hypotension Shock
Hyperthyroidism Crisis Can also occur from: severe infection, stress, diabetic acidosis, surgery, abrupt withdrawal of antithyroid medications, or other vigorous palpitation of the thyroid.
Asses Hyperthyroidism Crisis Hyperplasia: >101.3F Tachycardia: >130bpm Exaggerated symptoms of hyperthyroidism Altered MS: confusion to coma
Thyroid Crisis Implementation Implications: Maintain airway Ice packs/cooling blanket Tylenol O2 Monitor O2 Sat Iodine to decrease preformed thyroid hormone secretion.
Type I diabetes Destruction of pancreatic beta cells Genetic susceptibility is a key factor Autoimmune may also be involved. Resulting in:Decreased insulin production Fat breakdown resulting in ketone bodies as byproducts Fasting hyperglycemia
Type II Diabetes Insulin resistance ( glucose metabolism at the cellular level) Impaired insulin secretion Results in: Increased need for insulin production ( ability to secrete exists) No marked fat breakdown (no ketones) May go undetected for years 75% of cases a
Clinical Manifestation of Diabetes Polyuria(increased urine), Polydipsia(Increased Thirst), Polyphagia(increased appetite)Fatigue, weakness, tingling in limbs, slow healing wounds
