Q

Prerenal AKI

A

lack of adequate perfusion to kidneys could be from hypotension, dehydration, bradycardia, hypovolemic shock. the kidney is okay and just need to give fluids. if is prolonged, can lead to damage- intrarenal AKI

Q

intrarenal AKI (intrinsic?)

A

poor perfusion, toxins, uncontrolled HTN or DM has damaged the kidneys. amitriptyline is nephrotoxic, NSAIDS, antibiotics… most common cause acute tubular necrosis. monitor LOC, respiratory (crackles?), weight and give aluminum hydroxide fro bind with phosphorus

25
post renal aki
urine is blocked and can't leave kidneys, enlarged prostate, kidney stones, tumor, edematous stomach
26
clinical manifestations of aki
weakness and fatigue from disturbed Na K exchange, diminished deep tendon reflexes, bradycardia (muscle weakness)
27
treatment aki
insulin, calcium gluconate to reduce risk of v-fib while potassium high, kayexelate if pt can handle it
28
hypokalemia sxs
weakness and fatigue, muscle cramps, palpitations, arrhythmias, deliriums, magnesium, and potassium will be low together, dysrhythmias,
29
causes of high creatinine
could be from medications- cimetidine, trimethoprim and not kidney damage increases with more than 5% of nephrons damaged
30
IV fluids and Na and K
IV fluids will force Na and K to switch places | sodium is extracellular and K is intracellular
31
hypotonic fluids
causes cells to pull water in and swell | hypo its going to blow
32
hypertonic fluids
cause the vessels to pull water out of the cell and the cell shrinks
33
Frank-Starling Law
to a point, the more the myocardial fibers are stretched, the greater their force of contraction. (Lewis 689)
34
Right side heart failure sxs
increased veinous pressure ('CVP >12), JVD, enlarged organs (hepatomegaly), edema, weight gain, ascites, fatigue, polyuria at night/nocturia and most reliable way to assess fluid loss is weight! NOT cyanotic, tachycardia or crackles
35
Oliguric phase AKI
injury leads to decreased UO (100-400/day) leading to FVE, hyperkalemia, phosphatemia, and ammonia because can't excrete them. too much ammonia= metabolic acidosis- give continuous RRT, will have kussmaul respirs (and increased rate) to blow off CO2, EKG changes from the hyperk, cardiogenic shock is another cause of metabolic acidosis.
36
priority assessment with electrical burn
EKG!
37
tx for alcoholics
thiamine, lorazepam (DTs), benzos- valium, librium (milk, long term) no NSAIDS or alcohol
38
encephalopathy assessment
TEMP (infection?), BP (increased ICP?), MENTAL STATUS/ LOC, MEDICATIONS, toxins, hx of brain tumor, head injury, liver d/s, alcoholism, poor nutrition, metabolic d/o?
39
Increased ICP sxs
bradycardia, nucal rigidity, widening pulse pressure, increased systolic pressure causes- suctioning, intubation, defecation, cough sneeze
40
Clozapine
2nd gen antipsychotic that can cause agranulocytosis (WBC 2000-3000, ANC <1000) increased risk for seizures, need weekly WBC for 6 pos, has sedative and anticholinergic SE, increase morbidity for elderly
41
risperdone
can prolong Q-T interval, c/i for those at risk for dysrhythmia
42
2nd gen antipsychotics
Significant reduction in EPS, but causes significant weight gain metabolic syndrome- weight gain, dyslipidemia, altered glucose metabolism, increased risk for DM, HTN, atherosclerotic heart d/s
43
positive sxs schizophrenia
alterations in thought (delusions, concrete thinking), alterations in speech (associative looseness, clang association, word salad, neologisms, echolalia, paranoia) alterations in perceptions (depersonalization, derealization, hallucination, illusions) alterations in behavior (stereotyped behaviors, echopraxia- mimicking, catatonia, motor retardation or agitation, waxy flexibility, negativism, impaired impulse control, gesturing/ posturing, boundary impairment
44
negative sxs of schizo
affect- float, blunted, inappropriate or bizarre | affective blunting, anergia, anhedonia, abolition, poverty of content of speech, poverty of speech, thought blocking

cluster C, excessively anxious in social situations but desire interaction, hypersensitive to negative evals men and women, biologic
52
avoidant interventions and therapy
a friendly accepting, reassuring approach, don't push into social situations psychotherapy focused on trust, group therapy, assertiveness training, antidepressants (SSRI- citalopram and SNRI- venlafaxine)
53
borderline characteristics
more women, usually with another mental illness, caused by biologic and a separation from mom issue, separation anxiety, clingy, impulsive, self mutilation, suicide, engages in splitting
54
borderline guidelines and therapies
rotate nurses caring for, set realistic goals with clear action words, clear consistent boundaries, be aware of manipulative behaviors, avoid rejecting or rescuing, assess for suicidal or self mutilating behavior. psychotherapy, DBT, CBT, Group therapy, antipsychotics for anger and brief psychosis, antidepressants (SSRI and MAOI), benzos for anxiety anticonvulsant mood stabilizers, low dose antipsychotics, omega 3 supplement. naltrexone to reduce self mutilation behavior
55
Dialectical behavior therapy
DBT combines cognitive and behavioral techniques with mindfulness, which emphasizes being aware of thoughts and actively shaping them. The goals of DBT are to increase the patient’s ability to manage distress, improve interpersonal effectiveness skills, and enhance the therapist’s effectiveness in working with this population.
