Q

Nursing care

A

Promote airway clearance
1. Increase fluid intake
2. Correct positioning

Adherence to treatment
1. Treat tb as communicable disease
2. Most tb fail in treatment are because of non-regular treatment

Promote activity
1. Plan progressive acitivity schedule
2. Liquid nutritional supplement to help reaching nutrition goals

Preventing spreading of tb
1. Primary infectious control (tent)
2. Secondary infectious control (control airflow)(
(Air filter, UV)
3. Patient treatment

16
Q

Postural drainage management

A

2-4 times per day
Water or broncodilators given before drainage to loosen secretion and reduce broncospasm

17
Q

Tb

A

Infectious disease affect lung parenchyma initially
Can infect meninges, kidneys, bones
Primary infectious disease is mycobacteria tuberculosis bacillus

18
Q

Pathophysi of tb

A

Susceptible host inhaled mycobacteria

Travel along airway into aveoli

Deposit and duplicate

Initiate inflammatory response to host

19
Q

Tb risk factors

A

Close contact to tuberculosis patient

Substance abuse

Special illness or treatment: diabetes, chronic renal failure, hemodialysis

20
Q

S/s of tb

A

Low fever
Nonproductive cough
Night sweat
Fatigue
Weight loss

21
Q

Treatment of COPD

A

Usage of antituberlosis agent for 6-12 months

Ensure organism is killed and not relapsing anymore

Medicine such as isoniazid

22
Q

Chest drainage

A

Use to treat pleural effusion

Re expand the lung removing excessive air, fluid and blood

The chest tube can produce the negative pressure in pleural space which they usually have
