Q

Keys to success: Patient selection, patient motivation

A

Selection process considerations Patient motivation, hard to assess

Commitment and participation to the program

Patient initially resistant can be “converted”, and show great improvement

19
Q

Exclusions that may contradict PR

A

Significant orthopedic, neurologic or Psychiatric problems—> Prohibit ability or cooperation with physical training

Unstable cardiac dz

Severe pulmonary hypertension

Comorbidities Dash medical Director/rehab team looks at during initial

20
Q

Patient assessment
Initial patient assessment

A

Initial patient assessment basis
Interview
Medical history and physical exam
Diagnostic test
Symptom assessment
Exercise assessment
Pain assessment
ADLs assessment
Nutritional assessment
Educational assessment
Psychosocial assessment

21
Q

Patient interview includes

A

Info from the patient
Describes PR process
Discuss his patients concerns/goals

22
Q

Goal development

A

Assessment set foundation for individualized and comprehensive pulmonary rehab program
- Short and long-term goals are formulated and reflected in treatment plan
- Goal surrealistic and compatible with underlying disease
Patient must understand goals and agree to work toward attaining goals

23
Q

Medical history

A

Much obtained from patient records, comorbid conditions have direct bearing on health well-being in progress, what are components of medical history?

24
Q

Physical assessment

A

Simple, noninvasive evaluation of patient, modern chain and following of patient’s progress, chest exam, measure and evaluate vital signs, use of accessory muscles, clothing, edema, other signs of heart failure, pulse ox at rest and with exercise.

25
Q

Diagnostic test

A

ID patience disease,
establish a baseline of current clinical status,
help to evaluate outcomes,
what are essential test?,
What are test to consider for selected patient?

26
Q

Symptom assessment

A

Dyspnea and fatigue a primary symptoms

Onset, quality, quantity, frequency and duration

What are irritating factors?
Dyspnea is overriding symptom and usually reduces PR.
Disney is usually rated with 10 point Borg scale of using analog scale.
What are other symptoms?

27
Q

Muscloskeletal/exercise assessment

A

Pt exercise tolerance?
Physical limitations?
Supplemental oxygen requirements?
Establish baseline the assessment
Orthopedic limitations
Restrictions requiring modifications

28
Q

Pain assessment
Assess

A

Location
duration
intensity
character
What aggravates pain

29
Q

ADLs Assessment

A

Dyspnea Dec ADLs
-Functional task performance & work environment demands should be assessed, est. baseline
- Interview others for complementary information
- What info am be obtained in this assessment?

30
Q

Nutritional Assessment

A
  • Pts Significant alterations in nutritional status and body composition
  • Chronic disease caused increased energy expenditure during breathing, increased caloric needs
  • 40 to 60% of COPD patience, in adequate nutrition
  • Weight gain results of inactivity and medications
  • What should be included in assessment?
31
Q

What is the significant, independent predictor of mortality?

A

In adequate nutrition in COPD patients, 40 to 60%

32
Q

Patients that have weight gain from inactivity and medication as well also experience what?

A

Increase work of breathing and shortness of breath

33
Q

Educational assessment

A

Pt know about their disease and how to cope?
What should be included in an education assessment?
-Part of PR, along with log of documentation.

34
Q

Patience learn about their disease and how to cope in the education plan

A

Pretest to provide baseline for evaluating change and knowledge and method of documenting outcomes

35
Q

Psychosocial assessment

A
  • Screening questionnaire is to assess anxiety and depression
  • Failure to detect presence of dysfunction may result in poor progress in rehab
  • Patients with significant problems can be referred for further eval/treatment
  • What items should be included in this assessment?
36
Q

Goal development

A
  • Shared include short and long-term patient goals
  • Formulate goals with patient
  • Patient should have a clear understanding of goals and agreed to work toward attaining goals
37
Q

Example of formulating goals for the patient

A

Return to work, care for family, walked in mailbox, better understanding of disease
