What is the role of cycloxygenase (COX) in inflammation?

COX is needed for the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. If COX is inhibited, inflammation is inhibited.

causes and consequences of Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Nonketotic Syndrome (HHNS)

Causes: insulin deficiency that results in severe hyperglycemia; attributable to stress (e.g., trauma, infection). Enough insulin is present to prevent ketosis and acidosis, but not enough to prevent hyperglycemia Consequences: hyperosmolar serum osmotic diuresis electrolyte depletion death rate 10% to 25%

drugs that alter taste

Chemotherapy drugs Antihistamines Antifungals Antipsychotics Asthma medications Blood pressure medications Corticosteroids Antidiabetics Diuretics Lithium

indications for glucocorticoid inhibitors

Cushing syndrome adrenal adenoma

TPN (total parenteral nutrition)

Hypertonic Solution Given via PICC line, tunneled catheter Prepared daily by pharmacy Use Sterile Asepsis for dressing change Check blood glucose every 4-6 hours Change bag every 24

effects of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)

HTN cardiovascular disease DM2

Describe the pathophysiology of gout.

Defect in purine metabolism leads to uric acid accumulation

management of gestational diabetes

Desired weight gain: same as in normal pregnancy; desired weight gain goals based on prepregnancy body mass index Insulin: tx of choice (does not cross the placenta) goal is <95 fasting glucose NPH/Regular Insulin 2/3 AM 1/3 PM -Glyburide: only oral hypoglycemic that does not cross the placenta but higher risk of eclampsia early delivery @ 38 weeks, c section if baby is macrosomic

indication for somatropin (Nutropin, Genotropin)

GH deficiency promotes bone growth at plates of long bones

side effects of oxicams

GI ulceration GI distress do not take with other NSAIDs

Which herb is associated with the development of bleeding if taken with NSAIDs?

Garlic

methods of blood glucose monitoring

Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C): reflects blood glucose control for 100 to 120 days Self-monitoring: useful for evaluating effectiveness of meal plans in meeting goals of nutrition therapy Records: determine food, insulin, and exercise needs

When should diabetic patients exercise?

Ideal: Exercise when blood glucose level is 100 to 200 mg/dL, 30 to 60 minutes after meals. Avoid exercise when blood glucose level is greater than 250 ml/dL and ketones are in urine. when insulin level is at its peak. *People with diabetes should not exercise when insulin level is at its peak.* For DM1: ingest carbs to avoid hypoglycemia if glucose drops below 100

A 35-year-old woman diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis has been prescribed infliximab (Remicade). The nurse identifies infliximab as which type of medication? A.Immunosuppressive B. Immunomodulator C.Antimalarial D.Steroid

Immunomodulator

How should levothyroxine be taken?

In the morning, alone, and on an empty stomach, at least 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast.

characteristics of Graves disease (thyrotoxicosis)

Increase in circulating T4 & T3 levels Caused by hyperfunction of the thyroid gland Characterized by tachycardia, palpitations, excessive perspiration, heat intolerance, nervousness, irritability, *exophthalmos* (bulging eyes), & weight loss

action of NSAIDs

Inhibit COX enzyme Inhibit prostaglandin synthesis

action and side effects of colchicine

Inhibit migration of leukocytes to inflamed site Toxicity: (early) N/V/D, abdominal pain; (late) seizures, shock, CV problems, blood dyscrasias, respiratory/renal/hepatic failure

complications of TPN

Pneumothorax(sudden sharp chest pain, dyspnea, coughing) Air embolus (can occur during indertion of catheter or when changing the tubing Infection

outcomes of malnutrition

Poor wound healing Longer lengths of stay Decline in overall health Loss of appetite, depression, or alterations in taste and smell perception

role and RDA of folate in pregnancya

Prevention of neural tube defects RDA increases to 600 μg per day

function of the liver in nutrition

Processes nutrients absorbed from the small intestine; fat digestion

action of insulin

Promote use of glucose by body cells, store glucose as glycogen in muscles Reduce blood glucose

Function of NSAIDs

Reduce inflammation, pain, and fever - inhibit biosynthesis of *prostaglandins* - analgesic effect - antipyretic effect - inhibit *platelet* aggregation - mimic effects of corticosteroids

benefits of glucose management in diabetic patients

Reduced rates of retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy

action of metformin

Reduces liver production of glucose Diminishes glucose increase after eating Decreases absorption of glucose from the small intestine

mechanically altered diet

Regular diet with modifications for texture. Excludes most raw fruits and vegetables and foods with seeds, nuts, and dried fruits. Foods are chopped, ground, mashed or soft.

Reye's syndrome

Sudden onset of mental status changes, emesis, and liver dysfunction after taking *aspirin*

Which time frame would be most appropriate for administering sliding-scale lispro insulin? A. Within 30 minutes of consuming breakfast B. When the breakfast tray is served & ready to eat C. Within 1 hour of obtaining blood glucose measurement D. Within 15 minutes of obtaining blood glucose measurement

When the breakfast tray is served & ready to eat

Should long-acting insulin and short-acting insulin be taken at the same time?

Yes Short- and long-acting insulin should be taken at the same time to prevent hyperglycemia. Short-acting insulin is taken as a bolus after food intake. Long-acting insulin regulates glucose levels throughout the day.

clear liquid diet

a diet that consists of foods that are liquid at room temperature and leave little residue in the intestine should not be used more than 8-24 hours contribute to hospital malnutrition Ex: Water, Sprite, Ginger Ale, all beverages without any residue, broth, Jello
