IV- Complete: (20 Marks )
A- List 5 of common treatment used in ICU during cardiopulmonary
resuscitation :
1-Oxygen
2-Adrenaline.
3-Atropine
4-Lidocaine.
The nurse should be alert for signs of toxicity, which may include:
drowsiness, disorientations, tinnitus, parenthesis and seizures. If

saline IV and promptly notify the physician
5-Magnesium sulfate.
6-Sodium bicarbonate
7-Calcium.
8-Amidoarone.
B- List 5 warning signs of shock:
1- Anxiety – restlessness, confusion and disorientation due to:
a- Central nervous system (CNS) response to hypoxia.
b- Inadequate cerebral perfusion.
2- Deep, rapid respirations due to:
a- Low circulatory oxygen.
b- Acidosis.
3- Narrowing of pulse pressure – the difference between systolic and
diastolic pressure due to:
a- Systolic pressure – from reduced cardiac output.
7
b- Diastolic pressure – from CNS response.
4- Rapid heart rate, weak thread pulse due to:
a- Stimulation of the heart by CNS.
5- Thirst, dry mouth due to:
a- Shift of fluid from interstitial to intravascular causing tissue
dehydration which stimulates the hypothalamus thirst center.
b- Peripheral circulation which causes saliva production.
c- Mouth breathing during hyperventilation.
6- Decreased urine output (less than 30 ml/hr) due to:
Decreased blood flow to the kidneys.
7- Cool, clammy skin; pale or cyanotic skin and mucous membrane
due to:
a- Increased CNS causing peripheral vasoconstriction.
8- Low body temperature due to:
a- Poor blood flow except in early septic shock, temperature
rises.
9- Muscle weakness, fatigue due to:
a- Anaerobic metabolism causing lactic acid build up.
b- Hyperkalemia.
C- Enumerate 5 parenteral rout for administrating drugs:
1- Subcutaneous injection
2- Intramuscular injection
3- Intrademal injection
4- Intravenous injection
5- Intraarterial injection
6- Intracardiac injection
7- Intraperitoneal injection
8- Intraspinal injection
9- Intraosseous injection
D- Enumerate 5 of the factors that influence burn injury severity:
Factors that influence injury severity include:
1- burn depth.
2- burn size(percentage of TBSA).
3- burn location.
4- age.
5- general health.
6- mechanism of injury.

V- Essay:
I- Define the following : ( 10 Marks )
A- Pharmacokinetics: Are referring to the absorption, distribution,
metabolism, and excretion of a drug in living
organisms.
B- Flail segment: Ribs and/or sternum is fractured in numerous places
and can result in a section of bone becoming
unattached from the chest wall.
C- Venous bleeding: It is dark blood because it is nonoxygenated and
flows slowly and steadily. This type of bleeding
associated with deeper cuts.
D- Melena: Black stool which indicate bleeding in gastrointestinal
tract(GIT).
E- Abrasions: Are a destruction of the superficial layers of the epidermis
due to pressure or friction by a blunt rough object. Usually
it is above the basal layer of the epidermis, so, it heals
without leaving any scar unless infected or as rarely if it
reaches the dermis.

II- Give short notes on the factors influencing wound healing?
( 5 Marks)
Factors influencing wound healing:
Age: blood circulation and oxygen delivery to the wound or
inflammatory response are impaired by aging. Risk of infection is
greater. Cell growth and reconstruction are slower.
Nutrition: tissue repair and infection resistance depend on a balanced
diet and good nutrition and malnutrition lead impaired of
tissue repair.
Obesity: fatty tissue don't heal easily, less abundant supply of blood
vessels in fatty tissue. Impair delivery of nutrients and cellular
elements needed for healing, suturing of adipose tissue is more
difficult subsequent infection for major wound is greater.
Therapy with steroids, irradiation: this drugs reduce leukocytes
count and interfere with immune response.
Diabetes mellitus: An elevation of blood glucose impairs phagocytosis
and the risk of infection is increase lead to poor wound
healing.
