Question 2 the nurse is caring for a patient who is receiving diphenhydramine. the nurse notes that the patient has not voided f
or 12 hours. what action will the nurse take? encourage the patient to drink more fluids. evaluate the bladder to check for distension. request an order for an intravenous fluid bolus. request an order for urinary catheterization.
Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) is an H1-antagonist, with unfortunate anti-cholinergic side effects: dry mouth (xerostomia), dry eyes (xerophthalmia), and also including urinary hesitancy and inability to void. I would presume to think that the next best action would be to evaluate the bladder for bladder distension. If overly distended, then a urinary (foley) catheterization may be warranted to void the patient. However, ordering a Foley first may be an unnecessary, uncomfortable, and likely painful procedure. After examining the bladder externally (suprapubically), then fluids may be warranted.
Fires in grasslands prevent the growth of shrubs. Plants can survive in these fires because most of them have parts underground, where fire cannot reach. Animals and runners aren't affected by this, because they can leave.
one way to increase the deposition is to decrease the amount of vegetation living near the stream. This then causes erosion of all the sediment near the stream.The stream then carries all the loose sediment.
