Expections also Tatian in light palpitations. A PRN does precaution and deep palpitations. If appendicitis or a down on aneurysm is suspected papa Tatian it’s not done

Auscultation for bowel sounds and bruits
29
And there’s is the parent of a teaching session about early detection of colorectal of cancer which test you the nurse include
Colonoscopy every 10 years Flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years Stool DNA test SDNA every 3 years double contrast barium enema every 5 years Take home yearly GFOBT
30
Pancreatitis lab assessment
Decreased calcium 9.0-10.5 increased serum Amylase 30-220 increase lipase 0-160 increase cholesterol 200+ Increased carbohydrate antigen 19.9 greater than37
31
Pancreatic cancer lab assessment
Increased CAE greater than 5 Increased carbohydrate antigen should be less than 37
32
Gallbladder lab Assessment
Increased alkaline phosphatase increased bilirubin increase conjugated direct bilirubin increase cholesterol
33
EGD use for?
A visual exam of the esophagus stomach and duodenum Stop G.I. bleeding Visualize gastric lesions treat esophageal stricture dilation visualize and confirm celiac disease
34
Explaination E.g. D procedure
A visual exam of the esophagus stomach and the duodenum. A informed consent is required A flexible fiberoptic tube is passed down the esophagus while under moderate sedation also anesthetic spray is used to stop the gas reflex atropine is used to dry secretions

36
Role of the nurse during a EGD test
Monitor the respirations for a rate and depth monitor oxygen Use pulse ox saturation may use capnography for hypoxemia
37
Post test for EGD
Monitored vitals every 15 to 30 minutes until sedation wears off raise the side rails NPO until gag reflex returns disconnect IV fluids when the patient can tolerate fluids w/o nausea vomiting Has someone to drive them home Do not drive for 12-18 hours Hoarse voice or sore throat for days after Use lozenges for throat discomfort

44
Normal to expect after colonoscopy
Feeling of fullness cramping flatus small blood in first stool if the biopsy was done
45
What is thePriority care to promote patient safety after EGD/ERCP?
Prevent aspiration by checking gag return do not offer fluids or food by mouth until you are sure gag reflex is intact monitor for signs of perforation;PAIN FEVR BLEEDING
