What is the aftercare for patients who have undergone general anesthesia?
anesthetist and medical personnel provide supplemental oxygen and monitor patients for vital signs and monitor their airways. Vital signs include an EKG (unless the patient is hooked up to a monitor), blood pressure, pulse rate, oxygen saturation
How is sating on room air spelled Is it sating or satting?
It is satting on room air. I am not sure about the "satting" on room air. When a someone, physician etc, says the patient is "satting" they are referring to the oxygen saturation. To be correct, they should say "saturating" but they are shortening it to "sat-ing". In the medical transcription world, it is not transcribed unless specific instructions are given by the client...Otherwise, a sentence with "satting" would be transcribed as.... The patient was saturating at 99% on room air. OR The patient's oxygen saturation is 99% on room air. I have seen it given in the vital signs and written: O2 saturation 99% on room air. OR. Oxygen saturation 99% on room air. If this is for a report on a verbatim account--I would use "saturating", not "satting.
What precautions should be taken in the storage and use of home oxygen tanks?
Oxygen tanks should be kept in a well-ventilated area. Oxygen tanks should not be kept in the trunk of a car. "No Smoking--Oxygen in Use" signs should be used to warn visitors not to smoke near the patient.

Symptoms are subjective and that means we describe them with words but on the other hand signs are measured so there are numbers to describe them.
Do nurses ever have to record the temperature of patients if so in what situations?
In an acute care, inpatient setting the temperature is considered one of the 'vital signs' and it is measured and recorded along with heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation at least every 8 hours, as ofen as every 15 minutes. Though a nursing assitant is often the one measuring and recording this information, the RN is responsible for being aware of the results and responding to any abnormal values in a timely manner. ~MRKM RN LNC
Why during measurement the measured voltage and currents have negative sign?
Because of the polarity of the circuit. The signs of measured current and voltage depends on the direction of the current and voltage.
