Study Guide HESI V5 Note: The blue highlighted questions came out also on my V2 exam. 1.) Something about a breast cancer patient refusing drugs: ANS: Go find out why she is refusing 2.) How would... you relieve MASTITIS and what is it caused from? Mastitis is an inflammation of the breast, caused by blocked milk ducts/ there is NON-Infective or BACTERIAL infective/ Treatment for mastitis should begin immediately. Your doctor may not immediately be able to distinguish between simple inflammation and a bacterial infection, but will usually treat you as if it is infected. Options include:  Continued breastfeeding and/or expressing to drain the breast  Antibiotics (for example, flucloxacillin or cephalexin)  Anti-inflammatory medication (such as ibuprofen) or analgesia (such as paracetamol) to relieve pain, if necessary  Rest and adequate fluid intake  Heat to breasts (such as hot showers) before a feed and cold after  Varying the feeding position to increase breast drainage 3.) SEPSIS- Related to endotoxins release by bacteria, which cause vascular pooling, diminished venous return, and reduced cardiac output Medical Treatment for SHOCK A. Correct decreased tissue perfusion and restore cardiac output A.1. OXYGENATION & VENTILATION A.2. FLUID RESUSITATION : Rapid infusion of volume-expanding fluids(colloids), whole blood plasma, iso’s such as Ringers Lactate A.3. DRUG THERAPY: Restoration of cardiac function is priority, drugs will be based on effect of shock on preload, afterload, or contractility A.3.a. Drugs that increase preload (blood products, crystalloids)/ decrease preload (morphine, nitrates, diuretics) A.3.b. Drugs that increase afterload ( vasopressors, dopamine)/ decrease afterload ( nitroprusside, ACE-I, ARB) A.3.c. Drugs that decrease contractility (beta blockers, calcium channel blockers)/ increase contractility (digoxin [Lanoxin], dobutamine) A.4. MONITOR: CVP, LOC, ABG’s, VITALS, Skin changes, Fluid status 4.)

The drain pulls this fluid (by suction) into a bulb. The bulb can then be emptied and the fluid inside measured. At first, this fluid is bloody. Then, as your wound heals, the fluid changes to light pink, light yellow, or clear. The drain will stay in place until less than 30 cc (about 2 tablespoons) of fluid can be collected in a 24-hour period. Caring for the JP drain is easy. Depending on how much fluid drains from your surgical site, you will need to empty the bulb every 8 to 12 hours.

Monitor for TROUSSEAU and CHVOSTEK signs 61) Von Willebrand Disease-(Hemophilia disease) is a bleeding disorder caused by a defect or deficiency of a blood clotting protein, called von Willebrand Factor. The disease is estimated to occur in 1% to 2% of the population The disease was first described by Erik von Willebrand, a Finnish physician who reported a new type of bleeding disorder among island people in Sweden and Finland.  Von Willebrand Factor is a protein critical to the initial stages of blood clotting. This glue-like protein, produced by the cells that line the blood vessel walls, interacts with blood cells called platelets to form a plug which prevents the blood from flowing at the site of injury. People with von Willebrand Disease are unable to make this plug because they do not have enough von Willebrand Factor or their factor is abnormal.  Researchers have identified many variations of the disease, but most fall into the following classifications:  • Type I: This is the most common and mildest form of von Willebrand disease. Levels of von Willebrand factor are lower than normal, and levels of factor VIII may also be reduced. • Type II: In these people, the von Willebrand factor itself has an abnormality. Depending on the abnormality, they may be classified as having Type IIa or Type IIb. In Type IIa, the level of von Willebrand factor is reduced, as is the ability of platelets to clump together. In Type IIb, although the factor itself is defective, the ability of platelets to clump together is actually increased. • Type III: This is severe von Willebrand disease. These people may have a total absence of von Willebrand factor, and factor VIII levels are often less than 10%. • Pseudo (or platelet-type) von Willebrand disease: This disorder resembles Type IIb von Willebrand disease, but the defects appear to be in the platelets, rather than the von Willebrand factor.  Von Willebrand Disease is a genetic disease that can be inherited from either parent. It affects males and females equally. A man or woman with VWD has a 50% chance of passing the gene on to his or her child. There are no racial or ethnic associations with the disorder. A family history of a bleeding disorder is the primary risk factor. 62) Question What Nursing intervention is particularly indicated for the second stage of labor?
