Nur104 Test 3 Flashcards
What are functions of pulmonary system
Defense system
Ventilation
Gas exchange
How is breathing controled
Respiratory centers in brain stem control breathing using feedback from chemoreceptors and lung receptor
What are chemoreceptors
Located in medulla of brainstem carotid artery and aorta to detect changes in co2
What are defense systems
Allows to be warmed has cilia hair projection epiglottis flap cough or sneeze to get foreign objects out
What is ventilation
Movement of air into and out of the lungs through act of breathing by inhalation and exhalation
Gas exchange
Respiration exchange of o2 and co2 in lungs o2 of blood and co2 of lungs
Surfactant
Covers and lowers alveoli so don’t stick prevent lung collapse
Premature infants don’t have
Inhalation
Expansion of chest cavity and lungs
Exhalation
Diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax allowing chest and lungs return to normal resting size
What are factors influence pulmonary system
Lifestyle- smoking general health
Environment-workplace home 2nd hand smoke and carbon monoxide
Development-infants to adults
Physiological- norm and disorders
Mononucleosis
Serious infection obstruction of airway tonsils get closed
Pulmonary problems
Resp infection cold allergies flu
Pulmonary system prob
Pulmonary circulation prob-blood clots in lungs
Pulmonary fibrosis lungs get stiff cant take get deep breath
Pulmonary assessment
Health history
Physical examination-breathing patterns resp effort/dyspnea cough
Diagnostic testing-sputum specimens skin test pulse oximetry incentive spirometer arterial blood gases peak flow monitoring
Dyspnea
Shortness of breath
Sputum specimens
Afb sputum tb test
Tells if bacteria in lungs if no its virus
Pulse oximetry
95% norm less hypoxia
Incentive spirometer
2 or 3 tubes with balls ask suck on then try ball to top
Arterial blood gases
Gives actual amount of o2 in blood
Peak flow monitoring
Usually patients with asthma
Crackles
Rice crispies fluid or congestion pneumonia
Rhonchi
Air tring to go through water rumbling or bubble sound can be cleared
Wheezes
Asthma croop COPD high pitched squick inspiration and expectation hear first expectation
Stridor
Air going across sandpaper swelling of epiglottis high pitch croop partial airways obstruction
Nursing diagnosis
Ineffective breathing
Ineffective airway clearance
Impaired gas exchange low o2 sat
Pale or blue confused renal function resp rate increase no increase
Nursing goals
Ineffective breathing patterns
Ineffective airway clearance
Impaired gas exchange
Pulmonary medication
Bronchodilators Cough suppressants Expectorants Decongestants Antihistamine Oxygen therapy
Bronchodilators
Med design to dialate bronchiols inhaled steroids decrease inflammation and mucus production
cough suppressants
suppresant cough ussually given at night
expectorants
eliminate mucus need drink plenty fluids
decongestants
eliminate mucus from antihistamines makes it liquid to get out
antihistamines
decrease allergic reaction
oxygen therapy
medication must have order
what are the medications that are given together for dring up and loosening mucus
decongestants and antihistamines
what two medication are given together for inflamation
cough suppressant and bronchodilators this one is usually given first to open airways
do cariac and respiratory affect each other
yes what effects one effects the other
what is the function of cardiovascular system
to circulate oxygenated blood to organs and tissues and return deoxygenated blood to the heart
what is required for cardiovascular system to function
it requires adequate cardiac output
adequate circulation
effective regulation of CV function
how is cardiovascular function regulated
by the autonomic nervous system and by control centers in the brain stem
what is the autonomic nervous system
sympatheticcauses constriction and dialation of vessels cause fight or flight response
parasympathetic has no control over blood vessels
what are factors that influence cardiovascular function
developmental stage, enviroment, lifestyle, medication
how does temp change influence cardio function
cold metabolism decrease and decrease HR
hot increase metabolism and increase HR
how does pregnancy influence cardio function
increase O2 demand and blood vol 30%
how does obesity influence cardio function
heart has to work harder to pump blood and O2 to extra fat tissue
how does exercise influence cardio function
more do bigger CO and lower BP
heart failure
inefficient pump not working well
cardiomyopathy
enlarged heart with impaired cardiac muscle (contractility) no tone need heart transplant
cardiac ischemia
not enough oxygen to cardiac tissue myocardial infarction and angina pectoris
myocardial infarction
heart attack
angina pectoria
chest pain
coronary artery disease
atherosclerosis in coronary arteries
dysrythmias
bad or irregular heart rhythm and or rate its to high or to low
arythmia
no heart beat
how do you test for blood oxygenation
pulse oximetry and arterial blood gases
decreased cardiac output
not pump enough blood decrease pulse ox low BP or high HR cap refill above 3 sec
ineffective tissue perfusion
poor circulation cold fingers and toes pale scienotic confused cap refill
manage anxiety
calm down take deep breath med for cause maybe O2 morphine helps pain and anxiety
to promote circulation
exercise ambulate sequential compression devices
health promotion cardio
fluids anicoagulants nutrition exercise
cardio medication
vasodilators beta blockers calcium channel blockers diuretics
vasodilator (cardio med)
nitrates vessel dialte bigger more blood flow and O2 to heart
beta blockers (cardio med)
block beta receptors in heart or lungs slows HR and contraction makes tone relaxed decreases BP and HR
which cardio med is the primary one given to prevent heart attack
beta blockers
what is a SE of beta blocker
orthostatic hypertention
calcium channel blockers
minerals cause contraction decrease HR and BP may get adema also decrease O2 demands
