Answer to Question 1

sinus tachycardia

Sinus tachycardia is a rate between 100 and 180 beats per minute with normal P, QRS, T waves. Sinus bradycardia is a rate less than 60 beats per minute with normal P, QRS, T waves. Sinus rhythm is a rate between 60 and 100 beats per minute with normal P, QRS, and T waves.

Answer to Question 2

A
When a patient has an ostomy, the location of the ostomy determines the type of diet needed for regular evacuation. Initially place ostomy patients on low-fiber diets to avoid stoma obstruction. Slowly add high-fiber foods one at a time over a period of several weeks. Maintain a high fluid intake. Teach the patient to avoid foods that cause blockage, such as oranges, apples with tough skins, corn, and popcorn.
