3. Abdominal surgery

Show

A hernia is a complication of abdominal surgery. The other complications of abdominal surgery include intestinal obstruction and altered bowel function. Prostatectomy has complications of urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, and poor body image. Complications of lung resection or lobectomy of the lung include difficulty breathing, fatigue, and generalized weakness. Surgery involving the brain or spinal cord such as removal of meningioma has a risk of impaired cognitive function, motor sensory alterations, altered vision, as well as swallowing, language, bowel, and bladder control issues.

4. Dorsal recumbent position

The dorsal recumbent position helps facilitates examination of the head and neck, anterior thorax and lungs, breasts, axillae, heart, and abdomen. In this position, the patient is made to lie in a supine position with the knees flexed, which may be difficult for a patient with knee pain. The supine position is a relaxed position that is suitable for the examination of the anterior thorax and lungs, breasts, axillae, heart, and abdomen. This position may help reduce discomfort for a patient with knee pain. Fowler's position is not suitable for abdominal assessment but this position is the most relaxed position. A patient with knee pain may find this position less challenging than others. Lithotomy position is suitable for the assessment of the genital organs, but is not appropriate for an abdominal assessment.

How do you assess for jaundice in dark skin?

The most obvious sign of jaundice is a yellow tinge to the skin and the whites of the eyes. The yellowing of the skin is usually first noticeable on the head and face, before spreading down the body. In people with dark skin, yellowing of the whites of the eyes is often more noticeable.

Which body part is the best site for the nurse to inspect for jaundice?

An inclusive approach to evaluating jaundice is to inspect the sclera of the eyes, because the melanin in skin influences how jaundice appears.
