GTPAL

Gravidity, term births, preterm births, abortions, living children

TPAL/FPAL

Term births, preterm births, abortions and living children

Gravida

Heavy- pregnant woman


Any pregnancy, # of pregnancies

Primigravida


primipara

First pregnancy/One


Given birth first child

Nulligravida


nullipara

Never been pregnant


Not given birth

Multigravida


multipara

Diabetes Mellitus

Pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin to metabolize glucose normally. Type 1 insulin dependent. Type 2 non insulin dependent (diet, oral meds)

Gestational diabetes

Doesn’t produce enough insulin while pregnant. Increased glucose needs, cause hypoglycemia. R/f are age, existing DM, family hx, nonwhite race, obesity and HTN

Gestation DM complications mom

Infections, difficulty labor, vascular complications, c-section, keto acidosis, azotemia, hypertensive preeclampsia,

Gestation DM fetal complications

Stillbirth, spontaneous abortion, hydramnios(excessive amniotic fluid), large placenta, respiratory distress, congenital deformities, hyperbilirubinema, and hyperglycemia

Sodium (pregnancy)

Essential to maintain normal for plasma, bone, brain and muscle . SHOULD NOT be restricted during pregnancy but avoid high sodium foods(increase edema & HTN). Needed due to body water expanding.

Wt gain/ sodium

Major mineral controls extracellular fluid. Vital body water is increased during pregnancy 1.5-2.3g daily. Expanded blood volume and needs of fetus breastfeeding

Breastfeeding

Bonding, maintain infant temp, sucking stimulates oxytocin release. Mothers from different cultures use galactogogues ( beer, yeast, garlic, rice, gruel, fenugreek tea, and sesame tea). Every 2-3 hours normal schedule.

Baptized w/in 40 days. No birth control or abortions. Fasting meat & dairy wed & friday. Death no autopsy, no cremation no organ donation and euthanasia is not allowed. Christmas Jan 7 & new years Jan 14.

Roman catholic

Sick- forehead or hand. Birth unbaptized dont go to heaven so its mandatory. Contraception is prohibited & sterilization. No meat ash wed & fridays until lent is over. Rosary prayers pin to pillow in hospital.

Pain mechanics affected by analgesic group

Nonopoids-asa, Tylenol, and nsaids(tramdol, ibuprofen, naproxen, toradol, celebrex, Produced by inhibiting prostaglandins- primarily in CNS (pain/fever) but block pain impulses peripherally. Opioids-action in CNS bind to opoid receptors in brain & spinal cord. Narcan-opoid antagonists, reverse or blocks. Adjuvant analgesics-not understood. Ex-lyrica anticonvulsants used for pain, gabapentin anticonvulsant used for pain, antidepressants used for pain.

Back (Definition)

Pneumonia

S/s high fever, cough, pain, and headache. Other s/s lethargy, disorientation, anorexia, and low mild fever. Interventions: focus on liquidfying secretions by intake of fluids, meds, coughing, improved airway clearance and turing & deep breathing.

Respiratory disorders considerations

Encourage fluids, exercise, monitor smoking & second smoke, pursed lips breathing to improve oxygen, monitor o2, small meals reduce breathlessness, carbon dioxide retention-confusion, occipital headaches, and forgetfulness. Imbalanced nutrition is common (fatigue, dyspnea, and anorexia)

Reducing falls

Interventions-improving balance. Taught how to fall-rotate forward/backward to avoid falling sideways (less likely to obtain hip fx). Low vit D & calcium greater risk hip fx

Risk for deficient fluid volume

Fever, mouth breathing, fluid intake inadequate due to fatigue/dyspnea. Dehydration causes respiratory secretions to be thicker. S/s of DFV are decreased skin tugor, concentred urine, dry mucous membranes, elevated HGB & HCT. 3L fluid/daily

Aspiration pneumonia

Suction equipment, dysphasia-keep upright. External feedings-HOB upright, check tube placement, measure residual, right side if kept flat

Pleurisy (pleuritis)

Inflammation of pleura. Most common pneumonia, TB, injury to chest wall, pulmonary infarction, and tumors. Abrupt pain and occurs on one side of chest(pt points out) coughing & breathing aggravate it. Relief antitussives, antimicrobials, analgesics and local heat therapy.

Acute hypoglycemia

Too much insulin, not eating enough. Gastroparesis, renal insufficiency, meds (asa, beta blockers). S/s shaking, nervousness, irritability, tachycardia, anxiety, lightheadedness, hunger, tingling & numbness of lips/tongue, diaphoresis. Not caught 2nd set of s/s slurred speech, headaches, blurred vision, mood swings, disoriented, seizures, and unconsciousness.

Treatments: OJ, apple juice, skim milk, sugar, honey, syrup, life savers 6-8, glucose gel

Trigeminal Neuralgia


5th cranial nerve (tic doulourex)

3 branches 1-controls sensation(eyes, upper eyelid, and forehead) 2-sensation to lower eyelid, cheek, nostril, upper lip & and upper gum 3-jaw, lower lip, lower gum, muscles used for chewing

Older than 50-women more than me


Facial pain suddenly intense spasms


Triggered by dental work


One sided- usually 2&3 branches

Trigeminal Neuralgia-interventions

Chronic pain syndrome-excruciating such a sharp shooting, piercing burning and jabbing. A typical is migraine like headache. Drug therapy carbamazepine, neurontin, lyrica and baclofen. Peripheral chemical nerve block percutaneous sterotactic rhizotomy -hollow needle through inside of pt cheek into trigminal nerves. Heating current destroys fibers or ballon microcompression. This is for long term pain relief.

Terminal neuralgia-surgical management

Microvascular decompression relocation of artery-may relieve TN pain. More invasive procedure requires craniotomy. Complications aseptic meningitis, cerebrospinal fluid leak, ataxia, ipsilateral (same side hearing loss) and facial nerve damage. Post craniotomy S/s of complications headache, cranial nerve dysfunction and bleeding.

Conversation lbs/kg

2.2lbs=1kg


Pounds to kg divide by 2.2(smaller to bigger)


16oz=1lb


Convert lbs to kg

Child 65•2.2=29.54=29.5kg


Adult 135•2.2=61.36=61.4kg
