Other Systems Part Two Flashcards
description of pain that may indicate metastasis
pain at site distal to initial tumor site
where would gallbladder pain hurt
RUQ
right scapula
what is metastasis
movement of cancer cells from one body part to another (spread via lymphatic system or blood stream)
what is hemarthrosis
bleeding into joint spaces
difference between benign and malignant tumors
benign - localized, grows slowly.. non-invasive
malignant - invasive, rapid growth giving rise to metatasis, can be life-threatening
what organ may be replaced with sickle cell disease
spleen
what is hand-foot syndrome
painful swelling of soft tissue of the hands and feet
most common places for cancers to metastasize to bone
lung
breast
prostate
thyroid
lymphatic
where does the esophagus refer pain
midback
where does colon, appendix, pelvic viscera refer pain
low back/sacrum
what intervention is contraindicated with sickle cell disease and why
cold therapy (increases vasoconstriction and sickling)
hypovolemic shock is caused by…
hemorrhage
vomitting
diarrhea
a positive Murphy’s Sign would be seen with
cholecystitis
where does liver, diaphgragm, or pericardium refer pain
shoulder
patients with neutropenia are at risk for…
infections
skin appearance with anemia
pallor or yellow
small cell cancer of the lung can result in
Cushing’s Syndrome
what is anemia
decrease in hemoglobin levels of the blood
what is dysphagia
difficulty swallowing
hand-foot syndrome is common with what disease
sickle-cell crisis
what other clotting factor may be deficient with hemophilia
clotting factor IX (hemophilia B or Christmas Disease)
what is sickle cell crisis
acute episodic condition occuring in children with sickle cell anemia
exercise is contraindicated for people with what level of platelets
under 20,000
what is not used as an intervention for hemophilia
PROM (myositis ossificans)
closed chain (too much compressive force through the joint)
what is sarcoma
malignant tumor origininating in connective and mesodermal tissues (muscle, bone, fat)
what is asterixis
myoclonus of the hand with the wrist in extension
when can gallbladder pain worsen
after a fatty meal
what is asterixis indicative of
hepatic encephalopathy
drug overdose
Wilson’s Disease
what is sickle cell trait
sickle cell anemia characterized by abnormal red blood cells
what is neutropenia
decreased neutrophils in blood
what is cholecystitis
partial or complete obstruction of the common bile duct resulting in inflammation of the gallbladder
what is obstipation
intractable constipation with resulting fecal impaction or inability to pass gas and the retention of hard, dry stools in the rectum and colon
where is hemarthrosis most common
synovial joints (knees, ankles, elbows, hips)
what is hemophilia
a group of hereditary bleeding disorders
what is Murphy’s Sign
palpate near right subcostal margin as patient takes a deep breath (pain is ilicited)
in order to aid in venous return during shock, what position should the patient be placed in
supine
modified Trendelenberg
what is carcinoma
malignant tumor origininating in epithelial tissues (skin, stomach, colon, breast, rectum)
what is paraneoplastic syndrome
signs and symptoms are produced at a site distant from the tumor or its metastasized sites
what is commonly present regarding muscles for hemophilia
CONTRACTURES
hip, knee, elbow flexion
plantar flexion
severe anemia can lead to
liver
kidney
heart failure
high-dose radiation around joints for cancer can result in
decreased ROM
what muscles are commonly affected by hemophilia
forearm flexors
gastroc/soleus
iliopsoas
where is pallor/yellow skin seen with anemia
face
hands
nail beds
lips
where does gallbladder, stomach, pancreas, small intestine refer pain
midback/scapular
low-platelet count numbers
anything under 20,000
what clotting factor is most commonly absent with hemophilia
clotting factor VIII (hemophilia A)
what is shock
an abnormal condition of inadequate blood flow to the body tissues
what is lymphoma
affectng the lymphatic system (Hodgkin’s, lymphatic leukemia)
what kind of pain results from surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy
iatrogenic
what is ahalasia
lower esophageal sphincter fails to relax and food is trapped in the esophagus
