Answer:

Checking the patency of the nasogastric tube

A nasogastric tube is used after surgery to decompress the stomach and limit tension on the suture line. As another means of limiting pressure on the suture line, oral feedings should not be implemented in the immediate postoperative period when the nasogastric tube is in place. Vomiting indicates obstruction of the nasogastric tube; this is why the initial action should be to check the patency of the tube. It is too soon for signs of infection to occur.

What is Occlusive Peripheral Arterial Disease?

  • Blockage or narrowing of a leg (or, less frequently, arm) artery, typically brought on by atherosclerosis and resulting in reduced blood flow, is known as occlusive peripheral arterial disease.
  • The symptoms depend on the size of the blockage and which artery it is in.
  • The two iliac arteries, the femoral arteries, the popliteal arteries, and the calves' main arteries are among the arteries in the legs where occlusive peripheral arterial disease most frequently manifests (tibial and peroneal arteries).

What type of shock results from internal and external bleeding?
podryga [215]

Answer:

A) hypovolemic

Explanation:

When there is extensive bleeding, the volume of blood in the entire circulatory system decreases considerably. Therefore, the patient usually goes into hypovolemic shock.

In this type of shock the heart is unable to pump enough blood due to the large decrease in venous return. As a consequence, arterial blood pressure drops.
