zalisa [80]

The correct course of action for the nurse is to place a heating pad on your shoulder for 15 minutes each hour.

After a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the carbon dioxide that was used to insufflate the abdominal cavity may seep into the right shoulder. Every hour or as instructed by the nurse, the patient's shoulder should be heated for 15 to 20 minutes. Only a doctor should give a patient analgesic drugs; nurses shouldn't. The client does not need to visit the emergency department because the issue is not urgent.

Because this is not a problem connected to an accident, the client does not need to place their shoulder in a sling. The gallbladder is typically removed during a cholecystectomy by inserting a small video camera and specialist surgical tools through four tiny abdominal incisions. The name of this procedure is a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. On rare occasions, the gallbladder is removed via a single, sizable incision.

which cue would the nurse expect to identify when assessing a patient whose health record indicates an acoustic neuroma

Julli [10]

Loss of hearing, tinnitus, and vertigo

<h3>What is acoustic neuroma?</h3>

The major nerve (vestibular) that connects your inner ear to your brain might develop a noncancerous growth called an acoustic neuroma, also known as a vestibular schwannoma. The pressure from an acoustic neuroma can cause hearing loss, ringing in the ears, and unsteadiness. Branches of this nerve directly affect your balance and hearing.

Schwann cells that cover this nerve give rise to acoustic neuromas, which often grow slowly or not at all. Rarely, it may develop quickly and enlarge to the point where it presses against the brain and causes vital functions to be disrupted.

Typical symptoms of an acoustic neuroma include hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo attacks, and stumbling gait. Loss of eyesight, increased salt retention, or tachycardia are not side effects of acoustic neuromas.

I understand the question you are looking for is this:

A nurse is assessing a patient with an acoustic neuroma who has been recently admitted to an oncology unit. What symptoms is the nurse likely to find during the initial assessment?

A) Loss of hearing, tinnitus, and vertigo

B) Loss of vision, change in mental status, and hyperthermia

C) Loss of hearing, increased sodium retention, and hypertension

D) Loss of vision, headache, and tachycardia

Collagen fiber may be defined as a type of protein fiber that provides strength to the organism. Collagen fibers are present within the matrix of the cell.

Elastic fiber:

Elastic fiber are presnt in bundles in the extracellular matrix. The amorphous elastin is present in the elastic fiber. This fiber provide elasticity to the cells.

Clients mention feeling out of breath

Lowering of blood pressure raising of respiratory rate

Increasing heart rate

The client's defining characteristics for this diagnosis are, clients report feeling short of breath, which is accompanied by an increase in heart rate and respiratory rate and lowering of blood pressure.

What is meant by immobilizer used on the arm?

While your shoulder recovers, you can use a shoulder immobilizer to prevent your arm from moving. Due to the fact that your arm is kept close to your body, it differs from a sling. Typically, an immobilizer has a wrist band, arm band, and chest band. The chest band will hold each band in place.

In order to keep patients from engaging in any physical activities involving the injured shoulder for the first 4-6 weeks following rotator cuff repair surgery, patients are frequently instructed to wear a sling or brace.
