Answer:

Ideally, the nurse should contact the person responsible for medical assistance so that that person can authorize the use of the gastrostomy tube.

Explanation:

A gastrostomy tube consists of a flexible tube that is inserted into the patient's body. This all passes through the skin and reaches the stomach and is used to promote food to patients who cannot or cannot eat through the mouth. It is very common for this tube to be used in patients who have suffered a stroke, as shown in the question above. The use of this tube is temporary, until the packet is able to feed itself, however in some cases it is necessary for the patient to use the tube for months, for years and sometimes for a lifetime. For this reason, it is necessary for the patient's family to authorize the introduction of the tube into the patient's body. However, if the team of nurses is unable to locate the patient's family, it is necessary that nurses give authorization to the person responsible for medical care, as this tube may be essential for the patient.

High RPE usually means that you are not sweating during a exercise. True Or False?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

RPE is basically the scale on how hard an exercise is. Here is how it works:

10 RPE: Very hard, excruciating pain.

9 RPE: Not as hard as 10, but still extremely hard.

And so on, until you reach 1, which is basically the easiest thing you've ever done in your life.

So all in all, RPE is just a scale on how hard an exercise is.
