Most important nursing intervention after laryngectomy is that after surgery, your voice may return to normal but you will sound hoarse.

Since the false cords are removed during a supraglottic partial laryngectomy, patients may recover from surgery with a normal or raspy voice. A total laryngectomy patient won't have a natural voice. A laryngo-fissure patient will have a normal voice. A hemilaryngectomy patient will have hoarse voice. Thus, the patient after a total laryngectomy will have a hoarse voice.

The larynx can be removed in whole or in part through a laryngectomy (voice box). It entails making an incision (cut) over the Adam's apple region on the outside of the neck. Partial laryngectomy: In order to treat some laryngeal malignancies, only a portion of the voice box needs to be removed.

When administering adenosine, which action by the nurse is correct?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

When administering adenosine, the nurse must inject it through the IV push route.

Explanation:

Adenosine belongs to the drug class of antidysrhythmics and hence proper care and monitoring should be taken to avoid any adverse or side effects while or after administering the dose. Adenosine should be injected only via the IV route. The injection should be made close to an IV site, so as to flush each time with NS. The patient’s heart conditions should be monitored continuously on an ECG monitor and blood pressure machine. The dosage levels should match with the age appropriately. Adverse reactions of adenosine may include transient arrhythmias, bronchospasms, dyspnea etc.

Which treatment is WRONG when there is severe toxicity of digoxin?
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. give furosemide.

Explanation:

Digoxin is a drug that uses in the cardiovascular condition. It inhibits the Na-K ATPase enzyme, which functions to maintain the intracellular environment by regulating the entry and exit of sodium and potassium.  

Digoxin toxicity may occur due to the low level of potassium (inside the cell)due to the inhibitaion of the sodium-potassium pump.  Furosemide is a diuretic drug that decreases salt concentration (such as ions) in the body by increasing urine output. and causes a low level of potassium in the body

Thus, furosemide increases digoxin toxicity as during low levels of potassium, digoxin can easily bind with the sodium-potassium pump and shows severe effects.
