practice test 1/21 Flashcards
what pathology?
chest pain and ST segment changes on an electrocardiogram
myocardial ischemia
what pathology?
crackles (rales) and large volumes of secretions.
bronchiectasis
bronchial tubes of your lungs are permanently damaged, widened, and thickened.
- allow bacteria and mucus to build up and pool in your lungs; frequent infections and blockages of the airways.
what pathology?
assess dyspnea, accessory muscle use, cyanosis, and abnormal heart and lung sounds.
using ventilator
Ventilatory pump dysfunction
what pathology?
- S3 heart sound
- crackles (rales) are heard on inspiration and do not disappear with coughing.
- Crackles (rales) may be absent at rest and appear during exercise
what next?
cardiovascular pump failure, heart failure
-Exercise should be terminated, and dose must be adjusted prior to resuming exercise.
exercise-induced asthma leads to bronchospasm
worst environment?
better environment?
worse - cold, dry environment
better - warm, humid
what symptoms expected?
electrocardiograph (ECG)
ST-segment depression, which is upsloping
myocardial ischemia - angina.
what symptoms expected? supraventricular arrhythmias
Palpitations
heart sound in person >40yo
indicates ventricular failure?
S3
- normal in children and young adults,
- abnormal > 40 years.
- indicative of ventricular failure or lack of ventricular compliance.
heart sound indicates
- cardiomyopathies and - coarctation of the aorta ( birth defect in which a part of the aorta is narrower than usual.)
S4
which intervention?
-commonly performed by postoperative patients to reduce the incidence of respiratory complications.
Incentive spirometry
which intervention?
- pt has COPD
- high RR
- overuse accessory muscles - upper trap and SCM
- PaCO2 30mmHg
Pursed-lip breathing slows the respiratory rate.
hyperventilating
which intervention
- cystic fibrosis not expanding lungs in all areas
segmental breathing is used to augment localized lung expansion.
which intervention
- high-level tetraplegia
- want to improve respiratory capacity and increase vital capacity
Glossopharyngeal breathing, frog breathing
- take gulps of air into your lungs using your lips, tongue and throat. This gulping action looks like a frog gulping
why do you need to have close supervision of pt in aquatic therapy w
- COPD?
- heart failure
COPD - hydrostatic pressure, additional respiratory challenge
Heart failure - increase in cardiac volume that occurs during immersion may overwhelm the pumping ability of the heart
contraindications to lumbar traction?
spinal infection,
rheumatoid arthritis,
osteoporosis,
spinal cord pressure secondary to discal herniation
pregnancy -
Positioning and exercise in supine position are contraindicated after what trimester?
why?
first trimester
Supine hypotension syndrome- per the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) guidelines, due to the possibility of compression of the inferior vena cava from the growing uterus that has now moved to a more vertical position. The inferior vena cava can become even more compressed with active contraction of the abdominal muscles. This compression can result in decreased return venous flow to the heart and a sudden reduction in blood pressure
symptoms of atrial fibrillation?
generally exhibit
shortness of breath,
palpitations,
fatigue
symptoms of ventricular arrhythmias
anxiety to light-headedness
syncope to a weak pulse
symptoms of cardiac tamponade ?
- Pulsus paradoxus, distended jugular veins due to increased volume to the right side of the heart,
- hypotension due to decreased left ventricular ejection volume
what test? assessment of acid-base balance, ventilation, oxygenation. -monitor the condition of patients in critical care to modify respiratory interventions
Blood gas analysis
