Enema: - 3 hours
Note: swallow properly (prevent lipid pneumonia)
Without meals
Prolonged use may inhibit the absorption of fat soluble vit. (ADEK) ->
normal coming from animal sources to absorb
E. Osmotic agent: attracts H2O into the colon by osmosis -> increase peristalsis,
distention, softening
Eg. Duphalac (lactulose, lilac), cephulac
II.
Enema Administration
- Soln introduce into the anus and return going to the colon to promote /
induce defecation/BM
Types of enema according to purpose:
1. Cleansing enema: intended to remove feces
a. Low flow/small volume enema: cleans the anus, rectum and signed
colon only
- 500 ml
b. High flow/large volume enema: cleans as much of the colon as possible
(entire colon)
1000 mL
IVP: dye + X-ray KUB -> located retropentoneal
2. Retention oils < softening and lubrication] feces
Medications, antibiotics
3. Carminative intended to remove flatus ->bloated
-60 -80 mL
Conservative: warm, increase intake OFI, increase activity
4. Return flow/colonic irrigation / Harris flush
alternating flow of 100-200 mL of soln is introduced into and out of
the colon
occasionally used (last resort) for flatus
repeated 5-6x or until flatus is relieved
Things to remember:
1. Positon:
Left sims/side lying/lateral posn
a. Low flow: left sims/SL/lateral
b. High flow: left sims/SL/lateral -> dorsal recumbent or supine ->
right sims/SL/lateral
Total: 30 mins.
2. Technique: clean technique
3. Types of soln / amount / time to effect

Discard the 1st voided urine
Collect all the succeeding specimen thereafter until the same time the
next day
Babad sa ice
Add sign in the CR: collect all urine
Collecting a urine specimen from an indwelling U. catheter -> closed
drainage system
-> not
exposed to external envi
1. do not remove
2. do not disconnect
How to collect?
1. Clean the self-sealing port using an antiseptic (70% Ethyl Alcohol)
2. Clamp the catheter for 30-60 mins. so that urine will accumulate
3. Using a sterile syringe and needle, aspirate (30-45) urine from the selfsealing port or /luer lock port
4. Urinary Catheterization a procedure where in a double lumen/2-way/Foley
catheter is inserted to the urethra going to the bladder to obtain a urine
specimen
5. last resort; invasive; painful; increase risk for UTI
Purposes:
1. To obtain urine
2. To relieve bladder distention
3. To monitor the hourly UO of the pt
Things to Remember:
1. Technique: sterile tech.
UTI
Catheterization
E.Coli
2. Position:
a. male: supine pxn with legs extended and slightly abducted
b. female: dorsal recumbent meatus
3. Location of the urethral meatus
a. Male: tip of the glans penis
b. Female: b/n the ditons and vaginal onfice
4. Length of catheter insertion
Condom catheterization
external catheter
non invasive: decrease risk for UTI
for male clients only
can be used by ambulating clients
Used to manage urinary incontinence
Things to remember:
1. Position: supine, sitting
2. Technique: clean
3. Roll down the condom catheter towards the base of the penile shaft
and make sure to leave a 1 inch (254cm) space b/n the tip of the penis
and the condom catheter
To allow outflow of urine and prevention of irritation of tip of penis
4. Tape the condom catheter firmly -> not too tight nor too loose
-> impaired circulation in the penis
-> potentially permanent damage
5. A. special tape (provided by the manufacturer, a strip of flexible tape
or Velcro tape may be used to secure the CC
Most impt characteristics of tape in CC: flexible/elastic
Ordinary tape is C/1 because it is not flexible and may impair
circulation in the penis Apply the CC first then the tape
Manner of the application of the tape: around the base
6. If a double-sided elastic tape is used
Apply it in an overlapping spiraling motion -> 2-3 turns
If a DS elastic tape is used, apply the tape first the CC
7. Freq. of changing the CC: 24/daily
8. Freq. of emptying urine bag:
8 hrs or if it is -1/2 full
9. Inspect the penis 30 minutes after the application of CC and WOF SSX
of circ. Impairment
Discoloration and swelling
10.Secure the urine bag
a. Bedridden: bedframe
b. Ambulatory: inner aspect of lower thigh or leg
11.Wash the penis with soapy HO
12.Avoid loops and kinks
Diet:
A. Regular diet: pertains to food and fluids that contain all the
essential nutrients (CHO, CHON, fats, calories, vitamins, elec,
minerals, HO) necessary for tissue growth and repair
B. Clear Liquid Diet
Purposes: 1. To relieve thirst
2. To manage DHN
b. Once the tube reaches the oropharynx (throat), ask the pt to tilt the
head forward
c. R to facilitate the passage of the tube to the posterior pharynx and
esiophagus rather than the larynx
7. Instruction to the pt during NG tube insertion -> swallow or sip HO
8. Length of tube insertion per swallow
2-4 inches or 5-10 cms
NEX ->18 inches ->18 inches
9. Check NG tube placement
a. Xray = best
b. Check for gastric pH 2nd best
It must be acidic (<4) HCL acid stomach
If >6 = intestinal placement (presence of bile)
c. Auscultate air insufflation 3rd best but the most common bedside
method
1st: place the diaphragm of the stethoscope in the left upper
quadrant or Epigastrium
2nd: introduce 10-30 mL of air
3rd: listen for a swooshing sound (Kozier) or gurgling sound
(Udan/saunders)
d. Assess for gastric content (color) 4th best
-> yellowish/greenish/ previous color of OF -> osterized
10.Secure the NG tube by taping it at the bridge of nose (leucoplast)
11.Instruction to the pt during NG tube removal
-> inhale and hold breath
B. NGT Feeding (gavage) most common purpose
1. Position
a. sitting /upright position in a chair
b. semi-fowlers pxn in bed
c. slightly elevated R side lying pxn
R Pylorus directing toward the right
X left = food will regurgitate
Poison = left side lying
2. Most dreaded / fatal complication of NGT feeding : aspiration
3. Check for NG tube placement esp. before giving feeding (same with #9)
4. Assess for residual volume before each feeding -> it assesses the amount
and rate of absorption of the previous feeding
N 300 mL
Kozier/saunders
Udan
<100 mL = give the next feeding
<500 mL = give the next
feeding
100 mL = withhold the next feeding
50 mL = verify if feeding is to
be given
Part of iV therapy

2. Medication
3. Dosage
4. Time
5. Route
6. Documentation
7. Assessment
8. Evaluation
9. Education
10.To refuse

2. Do crossmatching
At least 2 RNs are allowed (JCAHO)
a. Blood type: ABO system -> A/ B/ AB/ O
Each letter represents the antigen / agglutinogen
- Present in the surface of the RBC
Antibody/agglutinins: present in the blood plasma
X
X
b. Blood components
1. Whole blood not commonly used unless in extreme cases of
acute hemorrhages
replaces blood volume and contains all the blood products:
RBC, plasmachons, fresh pH, clotting factors
unit of WB: 450/500 mL
2. PRBC: it increase the o carrying capacity of the blood in
anemias, disorders with slow bleeding and surgery
1 unit of PRBC: 250 mL
1 unit of PRBC and 1 unit of WB has the same amount of O
carrying RBC
1 unit of PRBC increase Hgb level by 1 gldl and Hct level by 23% (4-6 hrs.)
Hgb -> male: 13-18 gldl
Female: 12-16 gldl
Hct -> male: 42-52%
Female: -> 35-47%
3. Autologous RBC: done after a planned electives surgery
the client donates blood 4-5 weeks prior to surgery
Safest no incompatibility issues
4. Platelets: replaces platelets in pts with bleeding disorders and
plt deficiencies
1 unit of pH = 50 mL
administered rapidly in about 30 minutes
fresh platelets are most effective
1 unit of platelet increase plt count by microliters (cell/cumm)
NV 150-450 K cells/cumm
100,000 K = should receive pH
5-10 units of pH
5. Fresh frozen plasma replaces blood volume and increase
clotting factors
6. 1 unit : 250/350/400 mL
7. 1 unit of FFP increase all clotting factors by 2-3%
c. RH factor -> (+) and (-)
d. Serial #
e. Expiration date
f. Clients identity
3. Technique: sterile
4. Equipments:
a. Macroset tubings
b. Drip chamber msut have an in-line filter micromesh
c. Y-shaped tubing
5. Only compatible slon: PNSS (isotonic)
6. Never mix blood with other medications and soln specially those that
contains dextrose -> hemolysis of RBC
7. Needle gauge: 18-20
18-green
24-yellow
20-pink
26-violet
22-blue
8. KVO rate: 10 gtts/min -> safest, slowest, acceptable
9. 20-20 rule of BT: for the 1st 15-20 mins, flow rate must be 20 gtts/min
10.Height of blood: 1m/3 ft/34 inches
11.Maximum time of BT: 4 hours
If >4hrs = increase risk for infxn and hemolysis
Minimum time: 2 hours
If <2 hrs: rapid BT -> circulatory overload
12.How long should you stay with the client with the start of BT to monitor
for any BT reaction? 15 minutes
R occurrence of BT reaction rapidly within 10-15 min.
13.Monitor VS q 30 mins until / hour post transfusion
14.After receiving the blood from the blood bank, it must be administered
within 30 minutes
If the BT is unexpectedly delayed, return it to blood bank
15.Warm the blood at room temp. before giving it to pt.
Cold blood may cause chills, hypothermia, and cardiac arrhythmia ->
cardiac arrest
If >30 mins = hemolysis of RBC -> accumulation of potassium in the
blood bag -> hyperkalemia
Penstalsis
Oliguria
Tall T ware
Arrhythmia -> arrest
16.Assess VS before, during, after BT
Temperature = 100 F / 37.8 C STOP
The earliest SSX of BT reaction: fever and chills
The presence of fever at the start of BT will mask any developing BT
reaction settle the fever 1st!
17.If BT reaction occurs
1st: stop
75 mL incomp. Blood = renal
failure
2nd: open NSS line
100 mL
= death
3rd: notify MD
4th: notify blood blank

- O + Hgb = O Hgb
Co poisoning = CO + Hgb = carboxyhemoglobin
b. ABG analysis invasive, increase risk, inconvenient
Accurate
5. Preparation for pulse oximetry
a. Clean the site using CB with alcohol
b. If with nail polish, use acetone instead of alcohol -> interferes
with the reading
6. Freq. in changing the site
a. Spring tension type: 92 hours
b. Adhesive: 94 hours
7. It is impt to immobilize the site with PO because movements are
detected as pulse
8. What are you going to do if the site with PO is being exposed to
sunlight?
cover the site with blanket or dark colored towel (light coming
from the sun increase infrared)
ABG Analysis
measure the dissolved O and CO in the arterial blood to reveal or
status and acid-base balance
a. Allens test
b. Ban suctioning 15-20 mins before extraction
c. Get the specimen using a pre-hepannized syringe
Give pressure on the site 5-10 mins
Incentive Spirometry/ Sustained Maximal Inhalation Device
a device used to measure the amount of air inhaled through the mouth
piece
To promote maximal expansion
Purposes:
Secretions loosening
Promotes maximum lung expansion and gas exchange
Increases alveolar rentilation
Reverses the effects of GA and hypoventilation
V.
Pulmonary Fxn
- Done to measure the different pulmonary volumes and capacities
1. Tidal volume (TV) amount of air that goes in and out of the lungs
with each N breath
500 mL N
2. Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) maximum amount of air that can
be inhaled after N inhalation
-3,100 mL
3. Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) maximum amount of air that can
be exhaled after a N exhalation
1200 mL
4. Residual volume: amount of air that remains in the lungs after a
forceful exhalation; 1200 mL
5. Total lung capacity: amount of air in the lungs at full inflation
Formula: TD + IRV + ERV + RV = 6000
500 + 3100 + 1200 + 1200
6. Vital capacity: total amount of air that can be exhaled after a
maximal inhalation
Formula: TD + IRV + ERV = 4800 mL
500 + 3100 + 1200
7. Inspiratory capacity: amount of air that can be inhaled after a
normal exhalation
Formula: TV + IRV
8. Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) : maximum amount of air that
remains in the lungs after a normal exhalation
Formula: ERV + RV
Chest Physio therapy
Aka PUD, Pulmonary hygiene, pulmonary hygiene toilet
systematic process of removing tenacions secretions from the lungs
using the techniques of positioning, percussing and vibration
2. Where should the striking force come from: wrist alternately flexing and
extending it
3. Manner of striking: rapid, short, firm using both hands alternately at a
90angle
4. Pattern: none
5. Duration: 1-2 mins
6. How are you going to know that you are percussing correctly?
Popping /hollow/booming sound = cupped
Slapping = flat
7. To lessen the pain, discomfort and redness in percussion.
Place a layer of towel over the area to be percussed
Do not percuss on bare skin
8. Do not percuss the ff:
breast, slemum, vertebra, kidney area, (lower back)
Ribcage advanced PTB, advanced lung cancer, rib fracture
C. Vibrating vigorous, quirering/shaking of the hand to remove pulmonary
secretions
1. Part of the hand that should vibrate: heel
2. When to apply vibration: exhalation cycle only
3. No. of times applied: 5 exhalation cycles only
Things to remember:
1. Correct sequence: PoPeVi
2. Type of nursing intervention: dependent requires DO before it must be
camed out
It cannot be delegated to family members
3. Freq. of CPT : 2-3x per day and depending on the degree of the lung
congestion
4. Time to perform CPT
Before breakfast, before lunch, late afternoon, before dinner
Before meals; 2-3 hrs after eating = prevent aspiration
5. First and foremost major consideration before CPT
Clients tolerance to the procedure
6. To achieve the maximum benefits of the CPT cough -> promote expectoration
of secretions
VI.
Thoracentesis
Aspiration using a large- bore needle (g. 14-16) fluids/and/ or air from a
cavity
Thora/ thorax pleural space
Pleural space it contains minimal fluid (20-30 mL) that serves as a
cushion/lubricant
Air pressure in the pleural space: negative air pressure -> suction
Fluids in PS pleural effusion presence of excessive fluids (HO, blood,
pus) in the pleural space
Water -> hydrothorax
Blood -> hemothorax
Pus -> pyothorax / empyema
VII.
Bubbling
A. Drainage/collection chamber:
no bubbling
B. Water seal
1. Intermittent expected , N
2. Continuous- abnormal=airleak
Mgt: clamp the tube as close as possible to the client
3. No bubbling- it may mean 2 things:
a. Obstruction abnormal
Mgt: perform modified milking -> press-relax method or hand over
hand method
Require DO
b. Lungs hare re-expanded desired
Confirmation is CXR
3x
7. Hyperoxygenate the pt with 100% O before and after breathing +
ambubag connected to the oxygen tank, if x partial or non-breathing
FM
Ratio for 5-7: To prevent hypoxia/hypoxemia
