Module 6 Flashcards
Acute inflammation is a local response of the tissues that have been damaged in a certain region of the body.
T
Radiation burn, sun burn, and incisions are all examples of trauma.
T
Edema that results from the inflammatory process is poor in protein.
F
The negative effects of swelling in trauma is due to the increased diffusion distance inside the cells.
F
Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is not beneficial for traumatic edema since there is no protein accumulation.
F
There are no blood vessels in the joint cartilage; cartilage is living tissue, and receives nutrients from the synovial fluid.
T
Lymphostatic Encephalopathy is a disorder of the lymph drainage from the intra- and extra-dural areas that may result in head and neck lymphedema (HNL).
T
50% of the intra-dural drainage drains along the fibers of the olfactory nerve, through the cribriform plate, and to the mucus membrane of the nasal cavity.
T
Compression for facial swelling is opposite from compression of the extremities because gravity assists drainage during the day (compression is more important at night time).
T
Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) techniques cannot be used for the treatment of wounds.
F
Acute traumatic edema results from a mechanical insufficiency of the lymphatic system.
F
A chronic inflammation can decrease the Transport Capacity (TC) of the lymphatic system over a prolonged period of time and result in a lymphangitis or a lymphadenitis.
T
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease following an infection with streptococci bacteria.
T
The extra-dural drainage happens through the sutures of the skull to the lymph vessels of the scalp.
T
You do not need a patient consent to take photographs for the evaluation of a patient with lymphedema.
F
Which of the following is a syndrome characterized by soft (pitting) symmetric edema and weight gain in menstruating females?
Cyclic Idiopathic Edema
Which of the following is also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome?
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
The following body areas are not supplied with lymph vessels:
Hair, Dentin of Teeth, Inside of Eyes (cornea), and Bone Tissue, Nails
In which part of the written evaluation should the therapist determine the need for skilled care?
Plan of care
Which of the following are types of documentation that should be included in an evaluation for a lymphedema patient?
a) Photographic
b) Circumferential or volumetric measurements
Which equipment uses infrared light transmitters to determine the circumferential measurements of an extremity?
Perometers
The negative effects of swelling in trauma include:
a) Decreased supply of oxygen and nutrients to traumatized area
b) Decreased transport of basic substances needed for tissue healing
c) Irritation of nociceptors (pain receptors)
A lymphadenitis is:
An inflammation of lymph nodes
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD):
a) Is an abnormal response of the autonomic nervous system (ANS)
b) Causes localized inflammation accompanied by morphological changes in soft tissue, nerves, bones, joints, and disturbances in the local blood supply
c) Is more commonly seen in upper extremities
