VATI RN 2ND COMPREHENSIVE PREDICTOR FOCUSED REVIEW ❖ Management of Care – (5) ➢ Case Management – (1) ▪ Cardiovascular Disorders: Tetralogy of Fallot (RM NCC RN 10.0 Chp 20) • Defects ... that decreases pulmonary blood flow have an obstruction of pulmonary blood flow and an anatomic defect (ASD or VSD) between the right and left sides of the heart. In these defects, there is a right to left shift allowing deoxygenated blood to enter the systemic circulation. Hypercyanotic spells (blue, or “Tet,” spells) manifest as acute cyanosis and hyperpnea • Tetralogy of fallot – four defects that result in mixed blood flow: Pulmonary stenosis, ventricular septal defect, overriding aorta, right ventricular hypertrophy ◆ Cyanosis at birth: progressive cyanosis over the first year of life ◆ Systolic murmur ◆ Episodes of acute cyanosis and hypoxia (blue or “Tet” spells) • Surgical procedures – shunt placement until able to undergo primary repair; complete repair within first year of life ➢ Collaboration with Interdisciplinary Team – (1) ▪ Communicable Diseases, Disasters, and Bioterrorism: CDC Reportable Diagnoses (RM CH RN 7.0 Chp 6) • Anthrax, Botulism, Cholera, Congenital rubella syndrome (CRS), Diphtheria, Giardiasis, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis A, B, C, HIV infection, influenza-associated pediatric mortality, Legionellosis/Legionnaires’ disease, Lyme disease, Malaria, Meningococcal disease, Mumps, Pertussis (whooping cough), Poliomyelitis, paralytic, Poliovirus infection, nonparalytic, Rabies (human or animal), Rubella (German measles), Salmonellosis, Severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus disease (SARS-CoV), Shigellosis, Smallpox, Syphillis, Tetanus/C.

Conflict is an inevitable part of professional, social, and personal life and can have constructive or destructive results. Nurses must understand conflict and how to manage it. Nurses can use problem-solving and negotiation strategies to prevent a problem from evolving into a conflict. Lack of conflict can create organizational stasis, while too much conflict can be demoralizing, produce anxiety, and contribute to burnout. Conflict can disrupt working relationships and create a stressful atmosphere. If conflict exists to the level that productivity and quality of care are compromised, the unit manager must attempt to identify the origin of the conflict and attempt to resolve it. ................................................................................continued.............................................................................................
