| Why to assess cardiovascular status? | because cardiac problems may cause as many as 30% of surgery related deaths |
| How do you do check cardiovascular status? | check the patient for HTN, listen to the hear- note rate, rythym, and abnmlsl, examine hand, feet for edema, temp, color, pulses |
| How do you do check respiratory status? | consider age, smoking hx, and chronic illnesses; observe rate rythym depth of respirations and effort, clubbing of fingertips, cyanosis |
| Why to assess cardiovascular status? | this affects the excretion of drugs and waste products, including analgesic and anesthetic products. If this is reduced, electrolytes can be altered |
| How do you do check renal status? | ask about frequency, dysuria, nocturia, difficulty starting flow, and oliguria. Ask about color and appearance, intake and output and ability. |
| A patient with a decreased kidney function has confusion, disorientation, apprehension and restlessness. What drugs could cause this? | scopolamine(Buscopan), morphine, meperidine (demerol), and barbiturates |

| What risk does hypokalemia present to surgical patients? | it increases the risks for toxicity if the patient is taking dig, slows the recovery from anesthesia, and increases cardiac irritability |
| What risk does hyperkalemia present to surgical patients? | it increases the risk for dysrhythmias, especially with use of anesthesia |
