How do you administer acetylcycsteine (mucomyst) for Tylenol over dose? first admin a loading dose, followed by dose every 4 hours for 17 more doses. (start as soon as possible with in 12 hours of ingestion).
Massage therapy adjunct treatment for muscular skeletal pain, why does rubbing muscles relieve pain? massaging muscles activates large sensory nerve fibers that send signals to spinal cord to close gate blocking painful stimuli from reaching brain.
When assessing for the most serious adverse reaction to a narcotic analgesic, the nurse monitors for what? respiratory rate.
What medication is used to treat patient suffering from severe adverse effects of a narcotic analgesic? Naloxone (Narcan), because it is the narcotic antagonist that reverse adverse & therapeutic effects of opioid narcotics.
Patient with pneumonia is asking why she is receiving codeine, codeine has what effect? Codeine provides both analgesic and antitussive (cough suppressant) therapeutic effects.
Monitoring patient for adverse effects related to morphine sulfate the nurse assesses for stimulation of? Chemoreceptor trigger zone because morphine sulfate can irritate GI causing stimulation of chemoreceptor trigger zone in brain causing nausea and vomiting.
Nurse has order to administer morphine sulfate to patient, but patient has respiratory rate of 10 breaths per minute, what should nurse do? Notify doctor, hold medication, because respiratory depression is side effect, patients respiratory rate is below normal.
Patient taking narcotic analgesic for chronic pain can minimize GI side effects by? increasing fluid and fiber because one of side effects is constipation from reduced peristalsis and delayed motility.
The nurse teaches patient that has a fentanyl (duragesic) transdermal patch to change it every? 72 hours because it is a slow release.
Nurse plans pharmacological therapy for a patient with pain based on? pain relief is best obtained by administering around the clock ATC and not as PRN because scheduled dosing ATC gives steady states of meds & prevents troughs & escalation of pain.

Propofol (diprivan) because it is a sedative hypnotic for induction and maintenance of anesthesia controls sedation in patients, has rapid onset & short duration of action allowing easy tritation and maintenance of LOC.
Postoperative nursing action that helps patients recover from effects of anesthesia is? Turning, coughing, & deep breathing every 2 hours to prevent atelectasis a sequelae of general anesthesia & mechanical ventilation.
Immediate post op assessment of patient reveals body temp of 102F, the nurse should? Notify doctor because fever immediately after post op needs to be evaluated for potential malignant hyperthermia, an infection takes several days.
Patient receives epinephrine for repair of laceration, why? Epinephrine causes vasoconstriction, enhances duration action of lidocaine & minimizes bleeding at injury site.

The anesthesia provider monitors the patient during surgery by assessing and monitoring Cardiopulmonary function by? using electrocardiographic [ECG] monitoring, pulse oximetry, end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring, arterial blood gases [ABGs], & hemodynamic monitoring via arterial lines and/or pulmonary artery catheters.
The anesthesia provider monitors the patient during surgery by assessing and monitoring level of anesthesia, cariopulmonary function, Capnography (monitors ventilation for non-intubated patients), Vital signs, & I/O.
Depending on the patient's needs, anesthesia personnel give? IV fluids, including blood and blood products
