The nurse should assess patients receiving the calcium channel blockers for signs of CHF dyspnea, weight gain, peripheral edema, abnormal lung sounds (crackles/rales), and jugular vein distention. Any symptoms of CHF are reported immediately to the primary healtii care provider. 

When administering fludrocortisone, the nurse monitors the patient s blood pressure at frequent intervals. Hypotension may indicate insufficient dosage. The nurse weighs the patient daily and assesses for edema, particularly swelling of the feet and hands. The lungs are auscultated for adventitious sounds (eg, rales/crackles). 

The examiner may hear diminished breath sounds, crackles, wheezes, or pleural friction rub during auscultation of the lungs. 

Signs of obstructive airway disease include tachypnea, dyspnea, cyanosis, wheezes, crackles, sternal retractions, digital clubbing, and barrel chest.

It has been forty-five minutes since CH s arrival, and he has been given lorazepam 4 mg twice and loaded with 1500 mg of phenytoin. He received another 400 mg dose of phenytoin 15 minutes ago, but is still unarousable. His jerking movements have slowed down, but his temperature is now 39.9°C (103.8°F), and his blood pressure has dropped to 124/62 mm Hg. His oxygen saturation is 91% on 4 L oxygen via nasal cannula. Bilateral crackles are heard upon auscultation of his lungs. A CT scan of his head is obtained which shows no evidence of hemorrhage, tumor, or mass effect.

Mai straightened up with the poker in her hand. For a moment I saw it, white-hot against the dim cold of the chamber, and then she put it into the jug as if it were a knife and she killing some beast. The crackle as it struck the ale made a little thrill run down my spine as it always did, and after a moment the scent of hot ale threaded through the cold air to warm my nose. I sat up and put my pillow behind me.

Excessive heat, smoke, flames and crackling noises were emitted from stored fibre drums of the monomer, some unopened. Polymerisation may have been initiated by minor contaminants (perhaps as vapours), and/or by excessively warm storage conditions. 

Interaction is very exothermic, accompanied by crackling if the chloride is dropped into water. 

An explosion rupturing an ammonia separator (still) in an ammonia production unit, probably because mercury vapour from geological sources entered with hydrogen syngas originating from natural gas and reacted to give explosive nitride deposits. The separator remains crackled when scraped [1]. For a more academic study of the effects of mercury on ammonia plants, including embrittlement and corrosion, as well as explosive deposits [2],... 

The judges of the court listened as the soldiers had, as if waiting for a twig to crackle. Somehow the fortunes of war had placed this picture of a spotless industrial installation in a horrible setting, beside a river (not the calm Hudson or the turbulent Rhine) that ran red with a dye no chemist could synthesize. There sprawled the buna-rubber plant, and three kilometers away was a concentra-... 

Yes, a lawyer could dream up a scheme like that. The prosecution faced Von Knieriem with papers that crackled significantly. 

The answer is b. (Kn.lzu.ng, p 5.38.) Crack is the free-base (nonsalt) form of the alkaloid cocaine. It is called crack because, when heated, it makes a crackling sound. Heating crack enables a person to smoke it the drug is readily absorbed through the lungs and produces an intense euphoric effect in seconds Use has led to seizures and cardiac arrhythmias. Some of cocaine s effects (sympathomimetic) are due to blockade of norepinephrine reuptake into presynaptic terminals it does not block receptors. Flashbacks can occur with use of LSD and mescaline but have not been associated with the use of cocaine. 

Physical examination findings may include pulmonary crackles, an S3 gallop, cool extremities, Cheyne-Stokes respiration, tachycardia, narrow pulse pressure, cardiomegaly, symptoms of pulmonary edema (extreme breathlessness, anxiety, sometimes with coughing pink, frothy sputum), peripheral edema, jugular venous distention, hepatojugular reflux, and hepatomegaly. 

Respiratory alkalosis secondary to hyperventilation is usually observed secondary to CNS stimulation of ventilatory centers as a result of trauma, sepsis, or shock. Lung auscultation may reveal crackles (pulmonary edema) or absence of breath sounds (pneumothorax, hemothorax). Chest roentgenogram can confirm early suspicions or disclose an undetected abnormality such as pneumonia (pulmonary infiltrates). Continued insult to the lungs may result in adult respiratory distress syndrome.
