What does Heat therapy do? |
-promote vasodilation -reduce muscle tension -increase capillary permeability -increase cellular metabolism |
|
|
What does Cold therapy do? |
-promote vasoconstriction -provide local anesthetic effect -reduce muscle tension -slow bacterial growth |
|
|
How long do you keep cold or heat therapy on for? |
at least 20-30 min |
|
|
signs of inflammation |
heat, redness, pain, swelling |
|
|
RICE |
rest, ice, compression, elevation |
|
|
Localized vs. systemic infection |
localized: heat,swelling, edema systemic: fever, anorexia and headache |
|
|
factors that cause wounds |
pressure, shear, friction |
|
|
primary vs. secondary intention |
primary- repairs quickly and well approximated secondary- extensive wound size and takes longer |
|
|
When is the braden scale high risk? |
12 or less |
|
|
types of wound drainage |
serous=clear purulent= thick and yellow green sanguineous=bright red serosanguineous= pale, red, watery mix |
|
|
who are at risk for fluid imbalance? |
elderly and infants
|
|
|
signs and symptoms of dehydration |
quality of pulse, cbcs, creatine levels, change in mental status, thirst |
|
|
hypovelemia |
dehydration resulting from loss of fluid from the body decrease blood volume |
|
|
BUN, hematocrit, specific gravity |
BUN= renal failure hematocrit= less fluid in blood stream and more solute specific gravity=density comparison to water |
|
|
hypervolemia |
excess fluid in the intravascular space |
|
|
Congested heart failure- left and right |
left-fluid backs up into lungs=pulmonary edema right-other organs cannot receive adequate oxygen= peripheral edema |
|
|
R&M |
routine and microbiology -first morning specimen |
|
|
C&S |
culture and sensitivity culture: grown in petri and determines causative organism sensitivity: apply medication discs to determine what is effective |
|
|
norm value for blood sugar |
3.5-6.1 |
|
|
invasive vs. noninvasive |
invasive= involves puncture, incision noninvasive= device or procedure that does not penetrate the skin |
