Q

What does the 2nd number mean on the Snellen Eye Chart?

A

The 2nd 20 in 20/20 vision relates to normal vision, so a normal person could see these words at 20 feet. If someone’s vision was 20/40, a person would need to come to 20 feet to see something that a normal person could see at 40 feet.

Q

Normal Physiology of the Stomach

A

Gastrin, histamine, and acetylcholine released when food enters system. This activates the proton pump which sends H+ ions into stomach. These combine with chloride ions to make stomach acid (hydrochloric acid)

Q

20 ft long and ends in cecum

A

Small intestine

24
Q

5 foot long and leads into the small intestine

A

Large intestine

25
Q

About how much of water and electrolytes does the colon absorb?

A

90%

26
Q

Condition where gastric HCI, bile, and pepsin enter the esophagus. Can be caused by increased distal pressure. More commonly in the elderly based on their lifestyle being more sedentary. Symptoms include heartburn, epigastric pain, dysphasia, nausea, and a dry cough

A

GERD

27
Q

Condition that occurs when the upper part of the stomach bulges through your diaphragm into the chest cavity

A

Hiatal hernia

28
Q

Treatment of GERD

A

Avoid triggers, meds, remove restrictive clothing, eat small meals, don’t lie down, limit obesity, limit stress, antacids

29
Q

What do Proton-Pump inhibitors do and why does that help GERD?

A

Inhibit acid secretion and with less acid, there is not as much acid made by the glands of the stomach lining. Since there is less made, it can’t enter your esophagus. Common brand is Prilosec (Omeprazole)

30
Q

What do H2 receptor antagonists do?

A

They block histamine receptors leading to no gastric acid release. Common brand is Zantac.

31
Q

Antiacids

A

Work fast but only last about an hour. Can lead to diarrhea. Some physical barriers replicate mucosal lining (Pepto)

32
Q

Erosion of stomach or duodenum, usually due to a H pylori infection or an imbalance between acid and mucus in the stomach.

A

Peptic Ulcer Disease

33
Q

Difference between gastritis and peptic ulcer disease

A

Peptic Ulcer disease takes longer to heal

34
Q

Is it good for someone with acute gastroenteritis to take anantiemetic medication?

A

NO, let them get it all out of their system. Because it will just make it last longer

35
Q

Condition defined by less than 3 bowel movements per week or less than individual is used to. Affects 1/3 of people above 65 y/o.

A

Constipation

36
Q

Common tx for Constipation

A

Fiber - help increase bulk
Exercise - promotes movement and muscle tone
Hydration
Diet - Sugar, flour, red meat are triggers
Stool Softeners - Reduce surface tension
Osmotic laxatives - Creates water attracting environment

37
Q

How long does acute diarrhea normally last

A

1-3 days

38
Q

Small intestine absorbs about how much fluid per day

A

9 L

39
Q

Catch all diagnosis for altered digestion and diarrhea/constipation. No known cause and symptoms come and go

A

IBS

40
Q

Genetic immune disorder making it difficult to process wheat, barley, and rye. Cell destruction overwhelms villi causing flattening and malabsorption

A

Celiac Disease

41
Q

Viral or Bacterial disease that causes movement out of both ends due to the inflammation of the mucosal lining of the stomach

A

Gastroenteritis

42
Q

Condition described by multiple herniations of mucosa and submucosa of the intestine through the muscular wall. Asymptomatic normally and diet change with no seeds can be helpful.

A

Diverticulosis

43
Q

Condition described by inflammation of the diverticuli. Symptoms include severe abdominal cramping, constant pain in the LLQ, alternating constipation/diarrhea, fever, and rectal bleeding. Tx of high fiber diet, light exercise, and antibiotics.

A

Diverticulitis

44
Q

2 major MOI for Liver injury

A

Direct - Crush injury
Deceleration - cause laceration as it continues to move

45
Q

Referred pain for Liver injury

A

Right Shoulder or neck, RUQ pain

46
Q

Most frequently injured organ in blunt trauma/sports

A

Spleen

47
Q

Link between CNS and endocrine system

A

Hypothalamus

48
Q

Hormones that are fat insoluble (normally end in -in or -ine). Do not enter cell

A

Amino Acid derivatives

49
Q

Hormones compromised of amino acids. If it binds to a cell-surface receptor, it does not enter the cell

A

Peptide hormone

50
Q

Hormones that enter the cell and bind to receptors in the cytoplasm

A

Steroid hormones

51
Q

What is normal blood sugar

A

Blood sugar 70-100

52
Q

What does Glucagon do?

A

Glucagon makes more glucose

53
Q

What happens if glucagon is high and insulin is low

A

Breakdown of glycogen

54
Q

What happens if glucagon is low and insulin is high

A

Storage of glucose in cells or liver

55
Q

What condition does someone have with low TSH levels but high T3 and T4 levels

A

Hyperthyroidism

56
Q

What condition does someone have with high TSH levels but low T3 and T4 levels

A

Hypothyroidism

57
Q

Steps in fluid regulation

A

Baroreceptors sense pressure in the arteries. If it is low pressure, they send signal to hypothalamus saying that the body needs water. This causes the release of AVP causing the reabsorption of water and increase in blood pressure.
