I am to write in a COMPLETE Sentence a description of the “faux wound” that is located at the surface of the body at the TIP OF THE SWORD.
In my sentence I need to include:
Left vs right side of the body
Regional terms (e.g., brachial, femoral, pectoral, antebrachial, axillary, among many others…see your PPTX for a list)
Orientation terms (e.g., anterior, poster, lateral, medial, proximal, distal, superior, inferior).
Bone, suture, muscle landmarks that will help you pinpoint the location.
DISTANCES (you can use inches or cm) as needed to increase specificity.
Bret is a CST working with Dr. Jones on an open cholecystectomy procedure. Both of Dr. Jones’s hands are occupied, so she asks Bret to inject contrast medium into the cystic duct under her direct supervision.
What scope of practice issues can you identify?
Is this act different from injecting medication into an IV line, and if so, how?
What do you think that Bret should do in this situation?
How might Dr. Jones respond if Bret refuses to comply with her request?
How can Bret know what the best course of action would be in this situation?
General Appearance: Patient presents with abdominal pain, or [1], and irregular stools. Stomach may be bloated but is not otherwise distended. When asked if she has also been experiencing N&V, which means [2], the patient responded that she has not. Visual and manual inspection of abdomen do not reveal any clear physical damage. Pain that is general and chronic rules out more emergent medical conditions, such as [3], or acute inflammation of the appendix. Normal temperature and lack of other symptoms help to rule out an infection.
Heart: Rate at 80 bpm, with no abnormal sounds.
Lungs: CTA
AbD: Bowel sounds normal all four quadrants.
MS: Joints and muscle symmetric. No swelling, masses, or deformity.
UA: No blood present in urine, otherwise known as [4], or of blood in the stool. This rules out some more serious disorders.
Glycosuria, or presence of [5] in the blood, was observed as well as the presence of ketone bodies, known as [6]. These symptoms indicate that diabetes…

As the surgeon inspected the peritoneal cavity, she found that the appendix was normal; however, there were numerous adhesions involving the adnexal structures.arrow_forwardA CST is assisting the surgeon on the midline closure of an episiotomy. The surgeon says, “Something’s wrong, but I can’t identify it.” The CST replies, “I’m worried also. Do you think she might have DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulopathy)?” The surgeon responds, “Why do you think that?” and the CST says, “I’ve seen this before, and the blood doesn’t look right. I placed some of the patient’s blood in a plain test tube 7 minutes ago, and no clot has formed.” The surgeon has the circulator page the attending obstetrician to the room and alerts the anesthesia care provider. The patient became slightly hypotensive, but the quick response of the OR team averted any serious complications. The patient was discharged several days later without further complications. What observation did the CST make that helped the patient in this case? Discuss whether the CSTs response was appropriate in this situation.arrow_forward
