An instrument for measuring blood
pressure, typically consisting of an
inflatable rubber cuff which is
applied to the arm and connected to
a column of mercury next to a
MERCURY SPHYGMOMANOMETER
graduated scale, enabling the
determination of systolic and

STETHOSCOPE
Stethoscope, medical
instrument used in listening
to sounds produced within
the body, chiefly in the heart
or lungs.
RYLE’S TUBE
A nasogastric tube is a
narrow-bore tube passed into
the stomach via the nose. It
is used for short- or medium-
term nutritional support, and
also for aspiration of stomach
contents - eg, for
decompression of intestinal
obstruction.
RYLE’S TUBE
Foley’s catheter
Uro bag is most commonly called as urine drainage bags that collect urine. This uro
bag is attached to a catheter (tube) that is inside your bladder by a physician.
SYRINGE & NEEDLE
Syringe: A medical device that is used to inject fluid into, or withdraw fluid from, the body. A
medical syringe consists of a needle attached to a hollow cylinder that is fitted with a sliding plunger. The
downward movement of the plunger injects fluid; upward movement withdraws fluid.
PARTS OF A SYRINGE & NEEDLE
The higher the gauge number, the smaller the needle width. On the other hand, smaller numbers denote a
larger diameter or width. Larger diameter gauges have thicker needle walls and are stronger and more durable.
They provide for more viscous medications and support denser skin penetration.

taken; the angiotensin II formation subsequent to compensatory renin release during
surgery will be blocked; hypotension may be reversed with volume expansion.

•Arrange to switch to a different drug if pregnancy occurs; suggest using barrier
contraceptives.
•Monitor patient closely for a fall in BP secondary to reduction in fluid volume
(excessive perspiration and dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea); excessive hypotension may
occur
NAME: POTASSIUM CHLORIDE
Dose: 100-500 mg
Route: IV
Action: antiallergic
Nurses responsibility :
•Give daily before 9 AM to mimic normal peak diurnal corticosteroid levels and
minimize HPA suppression.
•Space multiple doses evenly throughout the day.
•Do not give IM injections if patient has thrombocytopenic purpura.
•Rotate sites of IM repository injections to avoid local atrophy.
•Use minimal doses for minimal duration to minimize adverse effects.
•Taper doses when discontinuing high-dose or long-term therapy.
•Arrange for increased dosage when patient is subject to unusual stress.
•Ensure that adequate amount of Ca2+ is taken if prolonged administration
of steroids.

I V FLUIDS
Normal Saline (0.9% NS)
Normal Saline, NS, or NSS is the standard fluid
given in both boluses and as maintenance
fluids. Normal saline contains sodium chloride
(NaCl) and is isotonic. This means when given
through the IV, there should be no net movement of
fluid or electrolyte into or out of the cells.
This ensures that there is no unnecessary swelling
or shrinking of the cells when infused. Normal saline
is the cornerstone intravenous fluid because it can
be given for most situations, including:
•Hydration
•Maintenance Fluids
•Hyponatremia
•Hypotension or Shock
•Sepsis
•with Blood transfusions
Lactated Ringers (LR)
Lactated Ringers (LR) is another isotonic fluid that is
commonly given. It contains sodium lactate, potassium
chloride, and calcium chloride.
LR can be given for all of the indications that NS can be
given, including:
•Dehydration
•Maintenance Fluids when NPO
•Ongoing fluid losses
•Sepsis
•Allergic Reactions
LR should be avoided in:
•Severe liver or renal failure
•Metabolic alkalosis > 7.5
•Hyperkalemia or Hypercalcemia
•Blood transfusions (If run in the same line can cause
precipitation)
Dextrose Normal Saline
Dextrose solution is usually ordered for:
•Hypoglycemia
•Maintenance fluids
Dextrose is osmotically active, meaning it does cause the fluid to increase its
tonicity, and will lead to net fluid shifts out of the cells. However, dextrose is
rapidly metabolized, so the effective osmolarity tends to be higher than
the base fluid, but lower than the calculated osmolarity.
Common dextrose solutions include:
•D5W: Dextrose 5% in Water
•D10W: Dextrose 10% in Water
•D5NS: Dextrose 5% in NS
•D5LR: Dextrose 5% in LR
Dextrose should probably be given in:
•Hypoglycemia
•Alcohol intoxication
•Starvation ketosis
Dextrose should not be used in:
•Hyperglycemia
•Hypokalemia
