302 Exam Flashcards
define chronic bronchitis
“blue bloaters”
inflammation to bronchi, cough, mucus, can have frequent respiratory failure an infections
Tx for chronic bronchitis
O2 therapy, bronchodilators, postural drainage, increased hydration, antibiotics
why is it important to give oxygen therapy in limited amounts?
bc Hyperoxia occurs… tissues&organs are exposed to O2 or higher than normal partial pressure an cause tissue damage
roles of an PT in acute care
provide gait aids to improve mobility, education pt on condition, teach exercises to improve strength, understand discharge location
expectations of TA’s in acute care
teaching crutch walking, exercise programs, pt education an teaching, dressing, ADL’s, transfers
role of OT in acute care
ADL’s (dressing, bathing), finances, cooking, toileting
cardiology
60+…a condition including nstemi, pacemaker, poor control of arrythmias, CHF…goal to improve patient function an safety with discharge
OT expectations
energy conservation, discharge location,
PT expectations
safe mobilizing, goals for discharge, tell nurses safe transfers
TA expectations
safe mobilizing, chest PT, PROVING FEEDBACK TO PT EVERY TIME AFTER SESSION, toilet transfers, bed mobility
Girl your gonna kill this test…
:)
important to consider….
BP, drop in O2, pace makers an lines when doing ROM, post op pain management, weight bearings,
what is postural drainage?
percussions in different positions, client may be hugging a pillow or leaned over a bed
how does postural drainage apply to chronic bronchitis?
clear muscus an help with inflammationa
what is chest physiotherapy?
postural drainage, cupping, breath, staking, coughing
how does chest physiotherapy apply to chronic bronchitis?
clear mucous, loosen secretion
roles of an PT in acute care
provide gait aids to improve mobility, education pt on condition, teach exercises to improve strength, understand discharge location
ICU-intensive care unit
resp failure, post surgery acute, maintain strength an ROM, prevent effects of bed rest
ICU roles of a TA
chest PT, mobilization, ROM, gather seating position aids….be aware of Iv, o2 levels, heart monitor
Sign of respiratory issues
wheezing, Short ness of breath color change, grey signosis, short of breath, tiring out
Early mobilization to prevent blood clots
:)
Surfactant=coats alveoli
lipid protein, prevent collapsing
Fibrous
scarring chronic of alveoli forever effect them
ventilation
exchange between air an lungs
diffusion
co2 moves from blood to alveoli an released through the lungs on exhale
cystic fibrous
malnourished, massive lung damage, thick an sticky mucous, block airways, humidify the air
calorigenic
heat producing effect that warms you up
thyroid
maintain blood pressure, digestive juices to keep food moving, promoting tissue growth
thyroid
needs negative feedback, pituitary an thymus decrease there own hormone production to turn it off, always monitor hormones, slows metabolism to not get over heated
throid disorders caused by
autoimmune dysfunction, antibodies targets cells of thryoid gland itself, in graves disease the antiobodies attach the thyroid an mimic the hormones and doesnt stop an theres always positive feedback, big eyes bc of inflammation bc the body is so hot
a cure to graves disease?
anti thyroid medication, beta blockers, medication, radioactive iodine therapy
cushingtons disease
Cushing’s disease is a serious condition of an excess of the steroid hormone cortisol in the blood level caused by a pituitary tumor secreting adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). ACTH is a hormone produced by the normal pituitary gland. ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands (located on top of the kidneys) to produce cortisol, commonly referred to as the stress hormone.
A BMI of 25.0 or more is overweight, while the healthy range is 18.5 to 24.9. BMI applies to most adults 18-65 years.
BMI does not take into account whether the weight is carried as muscle or fat
