Document Summary
Hepatitis a is transmitted by the fecal-oral route via contaminated food or infected food handlers. Hepatitis b, c, and d are transmitted bloodborne most commonly via infected blood or body fluids. Laboratory indicators of hepatitis include elevated liver enzyme levels, elevated serum bilirubin levels, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rates, and leukopenia. Meperidine (demerol) rather than morphine sulfate is the medication of choice to treat pain in pancreatitis. Morphine sulfate --is a drug than can cause spasms in the sphincter of oddi. Elevation of serum lipase is the most reliable indicator of pancreatitis because this enzyme is produced solely by the pancreas. The appropriate sequence for abdominal examination is inspection, auscultation, percussion, and palpation. -- excessive use of furosemide will most likely lead to a metabolic alkalosis due to hypochloremia and hypokalemia. Digoxin possesses positive inotropic action, negative chronotropic action, and negative dromotropic action. Positive inotropic action: this is the main function of digoxin and it increases myocardial contractility.
