In order to properly treat skin infections, small wounds, burns, and bruises, betadine is the antiseptic drug of choice. 

  • Povidone-iodine is a disinfectant and antiseptic. It is applied to the treatment and avoidance of infections in cuts and open wounds. It eliminates the dangerous microorganisms and restricts their development, protecting the region from diseases.
  • The risk of infection at the site of the incision is decreased when the patient's skin is properly prepared for surgery so that it is as free as possible from microorganisms. The thorough sterilisation that occurs just before surgery is neither duplicated nor replaced by this method. To reduce the number of germs on the skin and limit the danger of contaminating the surgical incision, the patient should take two preoperative showers with chlorhexidine gluconate before any surgical treatment.

an emergency department nurse is interviewing a client who is presenting with signs of an ischemic stroke that began 2 hours ago
steposvetlana [31]

An emergency room nurse is speaking with a patient who is exhibiting symptoms of an ischemic stroke that started two hours ago. The client mentions having had a cholecystectomy six weeks prior and using labetalol, digoxin, and warfarin. What element puts the patient's thrombolytic therapy at risk?

What is ischemic stroke?

An ischemic stroke is the loss of brain tissue (cerebral infarction) brought on by insufficient oxygen and blood flow to the brain as a result of an arterial blockage. An artery leading to the brain can get blocked, frequently by a blood clot or a fatty buildup brought on by atherosclerosis, leading to an ischemic stroke.

In patients with ischemic stroke, thrombolytic therapy must be started within three hours. If the patient underwent surgery within the last 14 days, she is not qualified for thrombolytic therapy. Labetalol and digoxin do not preclude thrombolytic treatment.
