Nurselogic Testing And Remediation Beginner (2024)

FAQs

What is testing and remediation? ›

Remediation is the primary purpose of a pentest, red team operation, or vulnerability assessment; identifying vulnerabilities is important, but fixing or otherwise mitigating the risks that those flaws present is arguably the most important aspect. Remediation occurs after the results of the tests are handed off.

Always follow this sequence: inspection, auscultation, percussion, and palpation. Changing the order of these assessment techniques could alter the frequency of bowel sounds and make your findings less accurate.

The most common error when using indirect blood pressure measuring equipment is using an incorrectly sized cuff. A BP cuff that is too large will give falsely low readings, while an overly small cuff will provide readings that are falsely high.

Percussion produces sounds on a spectrum from flat to dull depending on the density of the underlying tissue. Areas of well-aerated lung will be resonant, or tympanic, to percussion. Dullness to percussion indicates denser tissue, such as zones of effusion or consolidation.

The vulnerability remediation process is a workflow that fixes or neutralizes detected weaknesses including bugs and vulnerabilities. It includes 4 steps: finding vulnerabilities through scanning and testing, prioritising, fixing, and monitoring vulnerabilities.

Red flags for serious pathology

Pain characteristics: sudden onset of severe pain, pain interrupting sleep, 'worst ever' or 'tearing', pain out of proportion to abdominal findings. Signs of peritonitis: guarding or rigidity, percussion tenderness, pain on coughing, patient lying very still.

Following a quick assessment, the abdominal examination consists of 4 basic components—inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation. Inspection of the abdomen: The general examination of the abdomen begins with the patient in a completely supine position.

WHEN YOU PERFORM a physical assessment, you'll use four techniques: inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation. Use them in sequence—unless you're performing an abdominal assessment. Palpation and percussion can alter bowel sounds, so you'd inspect, auscultate, percuss, then palpate an abdomen.

Perhaps the most common mistake in blood pressure measurement is allowing patients to sit or lie with their arms hanging by their side, since when the upper arm is below the level of the right atrium, the readings will be too high. If the arm is unsupported and held up by the patient, pressure will be even higher².

Which blood pressure should be reported to the nurse immediately? ›

Always contact your nurse or doctor if your systolic—top—pressure is above 180 or your diastolic—bottom—pressure is above 110.

Inflating the cuff too slowly or not inflating it to a high enough pressure may cause a false reading. If you loosen the valve too much, you will not be able to measure your blood pressure.

Also, it is heard best using the bell of the stethoscope and with the patient in the left lateral decubitus position. This murmur presents as a low-pitched diastolic rumble usually preceded by an opening snap, which is an extra sound heard soon after S2. Auscultation for mitral stenosis: correct patient positioning.

Percussion dullness increases the probability of pneumonia, but its absence does not exclude a pneumonia. Bronchial or decreased breath sounds or crackles increase the probability of pneumonia, but their absence does not exclude a pneumonia.

Dull sounds are also produced on percussing areas filled with fluid and feces. Therefore, by percussing one can predict the cause of protuberant abdomen, which helps in diagnosis of conditions like ascites.

To remediate is to correct or make right. If you accidentally ran over your neighbor's bike with your car, you could remediate the bad situation by paying for the bike's repair. When you remediate some kind of damage or mistake, you repair it or set it straight.

Assessments are used to identify those students who have not achieved minimal competency during a course: remediation is the process used to improve student performance and ensure that all students achieve the designated Student Physician Activities (SPAs) before moving on to the Application phase of the curriculum.

At a basic level, remediation (or reteaching) means “teaching again” content that students previously failed to learn. As teachers recognize misconceptions or errors in understanding, they may focus on this missing, below-grade-level materials before returning to grade-level learning.
