Note: The blue highlighted questions came out also on my V2 exam.
1.) Something about a breast cancer patient refusing drugs:
ANS: Go find out why she is refusing
2.) How would you relieve MASTITIS and what is it caused from?
Mastitis is an inflammation of the breast, caused by blocked milk ducts/ there is
NON-Infective or BACTERIAL infective/
Treatment for mastitis should begin immediately. Your doctor may not immediately be able to
distinguish between simple inflammation and a bacterial infection, but will usually treat you as
if it is infected.
Options include:
Continued breastfeeding and/or expressing to drain the breast
Antibiotics (for example, flucloxacillin or cephalexin)
Anti-inflammatory medication (such as ibuprofen) or analgesia (such as paracetamol) to
relieve pain, if necessary
Rest and adequate fluid intake
Heat to breasts (such as hot showers) before a feed and cold after
Varying the feeding position to increase breast drainage
3.) SEPSIS- Related to endotoxins release by bacteria, which cause vascular pooling,
diminished venous return, and reduced cardiac output
Medical Treatment for SHOCK
A. Correct decreased tissue perfusion and restore cardiac output
A.1. OXYGENATION & VENTILATION
A.2. FLUID RESUSITATION : Rapid infusion of volume-expanding
fluids(colloids), whole blood plasma, iso’s such as Ringers Lactate
A.3. DRUG THERAPY: Restoration of cardiac function is priority, drugs
will be based on effect of shock on preload, afterload, or contractility
A.3.a. Drugs that increase preload (blood products, crystalloids)/
decrease preload (morphine, nitrates, diuretics)
A.3.b. Drugs that increase afterload ( vasopressors, dopamine)/
decrease afterload ( nitroprusside, ACE-I, ARB)
A.3.c. Drugs that decrease contractility (beta blockers, calcium
channel blockers)/ increase contractility (digoxin [Lanoxin],
dobutamine)
A.4. MONITOR: CVP, LOC, ABG’s, VITALS, Skin changes, Fluid status
4.) There will be a question relating to anti-infective meds, and your ANS: is antieffective
