5
Early: R- Restlessness A- Anxiety T- Tachycardia/ tachypnea Late: B- Bradycardia E- Extreme restlessness D- Dyspnea
6
Nursing Interventions › Encourage fluids › Supplemental fluids › Offer favorite foods and liquids › Sit up or change positions › Offer something fun: straws, Sippy cups
7
Nursing Interventions provide food pt likes NG/ Gastric tube care Explain nutritional importance's Offer different positions when eating- high fowlers Pure foods
8
For BM › Stool softener › Proper diet- fibrous foods › Enema › Increase fluid intake For Urine › Foley Cath. › Increase fluids › Consult doctor › IV › Urine decrease- prostate problem, multiple pregnancies

Elevated Temperaure pyrexia Febrile Hyperthermia Low temperature Hypothermia Affects body temperature age Exercise Hormonal influences Stress Environment Ingestion of hot or cold liquids smoking
13
Pulse – rhythmic beating caused by the heart Observations nurse must note › Rate › Rhythm › Volume(amp)
14
Tachycardia- above 100 beats per min. Bradycardia- slower than 60 beats per min. Dysrhythmia- disturbance or abnormality in normal heart rhythme pattern Pulse deficit- difference between radial and apical rate - listen to apical pulse & second nurse takes radial pulse at same tome
15
Temporal Carotid Apical Brachial Radial Femoral Popliteal Dorsalis pedal Posterior tibial
16
Normal- 12- 20 breathes per min. › Tachypenia- rapid respirations greater than 20 › Bradypenea- slow respirations less than 12 › Cheyne stokes- abnormal pattern of respirations characterized by alternating periods of apnea & deep rapid breathing › Orthopnea- different breathing standing and sitting › Rales- abnormal respiration sounds- crackly- fluid build up on inspiration › Rhonchi- snoring sound- strong crackly- expiration › Wheezing- whistling sound
17
Pressure exerted by the circulating volume of blood on the arterial walls, veins and chambers of the heart. Measured in millimeters of mercury Normals 120/ 80 Systolic range 100-140 Diastolic 60-90
18
Assessing- gather data Analyzing- identify problem, create a nursing diagnosis Planning- create nursing care plan to meet goals Implementing- carry out plan Evaluating- collect objective data to determine changes that need to be made to meet goal

21
Approaching death Clinical signs Changes in vital signs, reflexes, slow thready weak pulse Decrease in blood pressure Detached, dilated, fixed appearance in eyes Cool, clammy skin Death rattle- noisy respiration sounds No movement or breathing Unresponsive No reflexes Flat EKG No apical pulse
