Administer pain medication and encourage the client to take deep breaths is the action should the nurse take.

<h3>How does a chest tube work? </h3>

An air or fluid drain from the chest is done using a plastic tube called a chest tube. The lung may collapse if air or fluid (such as blood or pus) builds up in the pleural space, which is located between the lungs and the chest wall.

The main risks associated with chest tube insertion are bleeding and infection, just like with any surgical procedure. During placement, professionals take care to avoid the blood vessels that run along the underside of the ribs. The entire procedure is carried out in a sterile manner to prevent spreading an infection.

The popliteal pulse point is found on the anterior surface of the elbow. <br> a. True<br> b. False
loris [4]

Answer:

The correct answer choice for the question: The popliteal pulse point is found on the anterior surface of the elbow, would be, A: true.

Explanation:

The popliteal pulse is the passage point of the brachial artery and it is in fact always found on the anterior surface of the elbow, medial to the tendons of the biceps. This major artery, the brachial artery, is the main vessel for the upper arms and it comes out of the axillary artery. As it tranverses down the upper arms, it reaches the cubital fossa of the elbow, where it divides into the radial and the ulnar arteries. When measuring blood pressure, it is usually this artery that is sought out and its sounds can be heard with a sthetoscope, and when using a sphygmomanometer, or blood presure cuff.

1. Explain the difference between a TIA and RIND. Is there a difference from the
tangare [24]

The main<u> </u><u>difference</u><u> between a</u><u> TIA</u> (transient ischemic attack) <u>and </u><u>RIND</u> (Reversible ischemic neurologic deficit) is the time duration taken for reversal of symptoms.

Explanation:

The symptoms of TIA can last for about 24 hours and settle within a day. RIND lasts for more than 24 hours and clears within a week or few weeks. This means that RIND is actually a mini version of TIA.  

<u>Perspective of the paramedic:</u>

Since both the conditions exhibits acute mini stroke-like conditions with reversal of symptoms, the perspective of the paramedic will be the same for both TIA and RIND.  

The paramedics in the field should conduct GCS and FAST tests, detect stroke and its damage caused, should obtain other basic information at the field, and administer basic neuroprotective treatment modalities to save the patient from further damage.

<u>In the hospital,</u> for both TIA and RIND, the primary stroke management is to restore the blood supply to the brain through anticlotting agents like tPA injections or endovascular procedures . The treatment can vary later according to the severity of the stroke.
