Answer:
The best answer to the question: Which finding would first indicate that naloxone administration has been effective? Would be: An increase in respiratory rate from 8 to 12 rpm.
Explanation:
Narcotic drugs, especially heroine in large amounts (overdose) have the opposite effect to what they are usually meant for, which is excitatory. In overdoses heroine and other narcotid drugs will cause a CNS depression and therefore most body functions will be severely affected, as it is seen from the blood pressure and heart rate of this patient, as well as his/her respiratory rate. But most worrying of all is that heroine, as a depressant, can lead a patient to comatose states, and even total respiratory failure. Naloxone, the medication designed to revert the effects of several narcotic drugs, such as heroine, will first be seen in action with the increase in respiratory rate, as the depressive effects start to decrease. Other functions such as heart rate, blood pressure and levels of conciousness will start picking back up as the body gets rid of the substance. But Naloxone will first revert the depression on the respiratory centers in the brain.
Answer:
1. 45.9 to 62 kg.
2. 82.72 %
Explanation:
1. We have to find out Mr. Swanson's body weight by calculating his body mass index.
From body mass index or BMI = weight of the person in kg / height in meter
BMI = 41.36/ 1.5748
= 41.36 /2.47999504
= 16.67
The normal range of BMI is 18.5 to 24.9. So, Ms. Swanson's desirable body weight would be 45.9 to 62 kgs.
2. Mr. Swanson's percent ideal body weight:
= 
Now calculating the ideal body = 45.5 kg + 2.3 kg for each inch above 5 feet
Ideal body weight (IBW) = 45.5 + 2.3 x 2
= 50 kg
Now calculating the percentage ideal body weight
= 
= 0.8272 x 100
= 82.72 %
The normal range of percentage ideal body weight lies between 90 - 100 percent. Thus, the percentage ideal body weight of Mr. Swanson is low.
3. Some of the physical signs that can be seen in the patient when the patient is dehydrated are :
i). Dry skin
ii). weight loss
iii). thirsty
iv). pale skin color
v). fatigue
vi). tiredness
vii). dizziness
4. The transthyretin of Mr. Swanson is quite low and it indicates malnutrition. His transthyretin is about 15mg/dl. Thus he require proper diet planning and modifications.
5. Mr. Swanson must take in high calorie food and should consume plenty of water. She should also include fibers in her food intake. Mr. Swanson should consult a nutritionist or a dietitian who could properly guide her and make a food chart that includes daily intake of nutritious and protein rich food.
6. For increasing the food intake, Mr. Swanson must follow a healthy diet. He should take small servings but many times a day. Also exercising and drinking plenty of water will increase his food intake and will keep him healthy.
