The nursing care for this a patient with a t-tube in place are the following:
1) infection
2) obstruction
3) dislodgement of the tube

Priority intervention for this client is to ensure that the t-tube is properly connected to its sterile container to avoid infection. Signs of infection are redness, swelling, and warmth in the insertion area. Patient will also have an elevated body temperature of 100° F and up and will have purulent drainage on the tube.

The priority intervention when caring for this client would be to provide a strict skin care and dressing changes since the bile is irritating. The T-tube normally would drain about 300 to 500 mL of blood tinge bile for the first 24 hours. This excretion is irritating to the skin so it is important to check the dressing from time to time.

Hello Skang, thank you for asking a question here on Brainly!  

You Asked ➤ A patient is diagnosed with bipolar disorder and is currently taking carbamazepine aripiprazole, and melatonin. The PMHNP has just written an order to discontinue the carbamazepine for drug-induced thrombocytopenia. What is the next best action to take?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer ➤ Request a new order for a different mood stabilizer

Explanation: Carbamazepine aripiprazole can be used to treat bipolar disorder, but since it is being discontinued, a new order will need to be made to find a different mood stabilizer that will help the patient. Different mood stabilizers for bipolar disorder may include Lamotrigine, Divalproex sodium, or Lithium.

I hope this answer is helpful to you, but please let me know if you have any other questions regarding it.

Answer:

Momento triste de mi vida es cuando murió mi padre.

Explicación:

Un momento triste de mi vida es cuando mi padre murió a causa de una insuficiencia cardíaca. Esos son los días duros y dolorosos de mi vida. Mi padre era el jefe de nuestra familia y su trabajo cubría todos los gastos de la familia pero con su muerte, se detuvieron los ingresos y no hay medios de ingresos que nos hagan la vida más difícil. Después de un tiempo conseguí el trabajo, pero esos días son un momento triste de mi vida.
