Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Digoxin is a type of medicine called a cardiac glycoside. It's used to control some heart problems, such as irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias) including atrial fibrillation. It can also help to manage the symptoms of heart failure, usually with other medicines. Digoxin is only available on prescription.

acute or slow phase usually begins in how many hours

48-72 hours - metabolism increases

How long before surgery does NPO begin?

8 hours

Bolus feeding

A volume of feeding from 250 mL to 500 mL over a short period of time (usually 10 to 15 minutes) that is given via several feedings per day

Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development

According to the theory, successful completion of each stage results in a healthy personality and the acquisition of basic virtues. Basic virtues are characteristic strengths which the ego can use to resolve subsequent crises.

Continuous feeding

- orange juice - broccoli - brussel sprouts - spinach - cabbage - cauliflower - sweet/white potatoes - tomatoes

post surgical protein deficiency can cause what?

- poor wound healing - rupture of suture lines (dehiscence)

What needs increased before surgery

- protein - vitamins - minerals - Macro/Micro nutrients - energy intake

Parenteral Feedings (Continued)

-2 types: ->Peripheral Parenteral Nutrition (PPN-goes into peripheral veins-can stay in 10-14 days MAX; only use for the short term!) ->Central Parenteral Nutrition (for larger nutrient needs or for longer periods of time-used when GI tract can't work at all or handle any kind of formula) -You must discuss this w/ the pt & family first -Want to get GI tract back to working normally

Why is protein necessary?

-Building tissue for wound healing -Replaces losses from: ->tissue breakdown & blood loss ->body fluid loss from exudates -Controlling edema (deals w/ cells) -Controlling shock by maintaining blood volume -Healing bone: protein is essential -Resisting infection: protein is a major component of the immune system -Transporting lipids: fat is an important component of tissue structure

Enteral Feedings (Continued)

-Could be a NGT-nasalduodenal or nasal jejunal (for ppl w/ risk of aspiration, severe reflux, or continuously vomiting)-verify placement w/ an x-ray; can then test the pH (gastric aspiration-would expect it to be lower #s=more acidic) -Could be surgically placed (PEG Tube)

Non-Oral Feeding Routes

-Enteral: a mode of feeding that makes use of the GI tract through oral or tube feedings -Parenteral: a mode of feeding that does NOT involve the GI tract but that instead supports nutrition support via intravenous delivery (through veins as IV)

Oral Feeding After Surgery

-Food gives us the energy needed to heal -Includes a variety of diet plans -Allows more nutrients to be added -Stimulates normal actions of the GI tract (always try to give feedings via GI tract if possible) -Early feedings associated w/ reduced complications, infections, & even hospital stay -Progresses from clear or full liquids to a soft or regular diet (Clear liquid: anything you can see through; Full liquid: anything opaque; Mechanical soft diet: softer foods for ppl who can't chew as well) ->Advance as tolerated

Dietary Considerations in Surgical Clients: Perioperative Nutrition

-Perioperative Nutrition: during or right around surgery ->Client monitoring

If a pt has poor protein after surgery, what can happen?

-Poor wound healing -Dehiscence (a surgical wound that comes apart) -Delayed healing -Depressed heart & lung function -Anemia -Can basically keep your body from building back up

Dietary Considerations in Surgical Clients: Postoperative Nutrition

-Postoperative Nutrition: after surgery ->IV fluids (b/c you lose blood & fluids during surgery) ->Diet advancement (as tolerated-start on a bland diet & advance as pt tolerates it) ->Catabolism (where tissue breakdown exceeds tissue rebuild-tissue was broken down during surgery, so they don't have the ability to build it up quickly (help pt understand good sources of protein so they can eat that when they feel up to it-protein is responsible for building muscle & wound healing)

Dietary Considerations in Surgical Clients-Preoperative Nutrition

-Preoperative Nutrition: 2-3 weeks before surgery ->If it is required for the pt to lose weight before the surgery, they would have a longer time frame -> deficiencies/modify diet ->Low residue diets (not a lot of fatty stuff; really healthy) ->Low fiber diet for 2-3 days (b/c it can leave a residue in the gut) -Antibiotic prophylaxis: Can give prophylactic antibiotics (given before surgery to kill any bacteria in the intestines that could potentially create an infection) ->Bowel cleansing protocol (individualized to pt)

superficial partial thickness burn

2nd degree burn

Bariatric Surgery

-Weight loss (Ex: gastric bypass surgery) -Making area that holds & contains food smaller so they're not eating as much -Typical deficiencies in several micronutrients -Start at clear liquid & progress (takes about 6 weeks to get back to a regular diet-nurses educate pts on this & how to advance diet before they leave the hospital) -Thereafter pts are limited to about 1 cup of food per meal (everything they're eating combined) -Pts should avoid using a straw to reduce air swallowing, which can cause discomfort (gas pains) -Subject to Dumping Syndrome (if they eat something bad, esp. carbs, their body tries to reject it & get it out-kinda throws the body into shock-lots of cramping, feeling of fullness, weakness, dizziness & break out in a cold sweat, abdominal pain, diarrhea [b/c carbs are being flushed through fast in the system-can happen 10 min. to 3 hrs after eating] ->This leads to the pt eating fewer food-nurses should educate & encourage pts to eat protein instead of carbs -****Helps for the pt to sit upright after meals b/c it encourages peristalsis & avoiding liquids w/ meals [liquid encourage solubility of carbs-soaks it up & makes it easier to pass through] tell pt to eat their food & wait an hour or 2 to drink liquids)

Changes in teeth in older adult

-salivary gland secrete less saliva -dental caries -dentures can block taste secretions -prone to periodontal (gum) disease resulting in bone loss

Parenteral nutrition patient characteristics

-they do not have sufficient GI tract function -they are unable to meet nutrient needs after 7-10 days of enteral nutrition -there is a need for bowel rest -they do not have access to feeding tube placement -they pull out their feeding tube

patients need to be what before surgery

NPO

Why should you not use pureed foods for tube feedings?

Physical form: foods that are broken down in a blender yield a sticky, larger-particle mixture that does not pass through small feeding tubes easily Safety: can carry bacterial growth and cause infection Digestion and absorption: pureed foods require a fully functioning GI system to digest the food and absorb and release its nutrients

Cognitive Theory (Piaget)

Piaget's stage theory describes the cognitive development of children. Cognitive development involves changes in cognitive processes and abilities. Emphasized cognitive milestones in the development •All stages must be accomplished in the correct order •A child's greatest task is to make sense of the world around him or her
