What is a stressor? Anything that is perceived as challenging, threatening, or demanding.
What is your acid and where is it produced? carbon dioxide in the lungs
Food sources for vitamin A liver, carrots, egg yolk, fortified milk
What are hydrogel dressings used for? partial and full-thickness wounds, necrotic wounds, burns
Nursing interventions for pressure ulcers in regards to infection. proper handwashing, aseptic techniques, monitor wound, administer meds, vital signs
compensation overcome a perceived weakness
signs and symptoms of fliud volume deficit thirst,weight loss weakness fatigue anorexia dry mucous membranes poor skin/tongue turgor sunken eyes weak rapid pulse ^specific gravity hematocrit BUN
hypertonic solution has a greater osmolarity than plasma. water moves out of the cells and is drawn into the intravascular compartment, causing the cells to shrink. 5-10% dextrose = treats hypovolemia
norm value range of sodium 135 - 145
food sources of vitamin d sunlight, fortified milk, fish liver oils
which stage pressure ulcer involves intact skin, have a boggy feel and redness in lightly pigmented skin? Stage 1
What are hydrocolloidal dressings used for and how long can they be left in place? shallow to moderate-depth skin ulcers, wounds with drainage, in conjunction with packing for open, deep wounds. can be left in place for 3 days.
Nursing interventions for pressure ulcers involving tissue integrity. avoid pressure,reposition,monitor site, sterile dressing,hydration(in&out), increase protein and carbs
denial refuses to acknowledge the presence of a condition that is disturbing
Physiological stressors chemical (drugs,poisons), physical (heat, cold,trauma) infectious (viruses,bacteria) nutritional imbalances,hypoxia & genetic or immune disorders

what are percussion and vibration used for? to loosen respiratory secretions so they can be more easily expectorated
isontonic solution a solution that has about the same concentration of particles or osmolarity as plasma. normal saline IV

projection a person's thoughts or impulses are attributed to someone else
What are some physical illness stressors related to GI disorders? esophageal reflux, constipation, diarrhea ulcerative colitis
