Process Test 1

Rapid Response Team. They save lives and decrease the risk of harm by providing care to patients before a respiratory or cardiac arrest occurs.

The goal is to provide quality and cost effective services and resources to achieve positive patent outcomes. Coordinates inpatient and community based care before discharge from a hopsital or other facillity.

counseling before during and after genetic testing.

Nondirective

Require that the gene alleles controlling the trait be located on an autosomal chromosome. The trait appears in every generation without skipping. Risk of affected person passion to children is 50%.

True

acts directly on kidney tubules and collecting ducts, making them more permeable to water. This makes the blood more dilute

nearly all systems are affected. HR increases, peripheral pulses weak, difficult to find, B/P dec, more severe hypotension, light-headedness, inc. respiratory rate, tenting, dry membranes, alterations in mental status, low grade fever, urine concentrated

patient safety, fluid replacement and drug therapy

older adults often use diuretics and laxatives which can disturb fluid balance.

level above 10.5 mg/dL. Causes faster clotting times, severe hypercalcemia depresses electrical conduction- slowing HR. Examine EKG tracings for dysrhythmias, especially shortened QT intervals

normal saline because sodium increases kidney excretion of calcium

cardiovascular changes are the most severe problems from this. Bradycardia, hypotension, ectopic beats. Also neuromuscular-skeletal muscle twitching. Intestinal- increased motillity.

cardiac- bradycardia and peripheral vasodilation, hypotension. CNS- lethargy. neuromuscular- decreased DTR's

decreases cause increased serum calcium. Cardiovascular- decreased stroke volume and CO. muscle weakness, CNS- irritability, seizures

pH is below normal <7.35

rentention of CO2

CNS depression, decreased muscle tone and DTRs, inc HR and CO, dec HR and abnormal EKG, shallow rapid respirations or deep and rapid

retention of CO2,respiratory depression, inadequate chest expansion, airway obstruction, reduced alveolar-capillary diffusion

CNS depression, decreased muscle tone and DTRs, inc HR, CO, dec HR, abnormal EKG, hypotension, shallow rapid respirations, pale and cyanotic

excessive loss of CO2via hyperventillation

dizziness, agitation, confusion, hyperreflexia, seizures, hyperactive DTRs, muscle weakness, myocardial irritability, inc. HR, inc. RR

Increase in bases or decrease of acids. Can be caused by excessive use of antacids, prolonged vomiting or NG suctioning
