Prefinal - Unit C 2 Flashcards
is right lower-quadrant pain that is produced with the patient extends the hip due to inflammation of the peritoneum overlying the psoas muscles and inflammation of the psoas muscles themselves.
Psoas sign
Straightening out the leg causes pain because it stretches the muscles, and flexing the hip into the “fetal position” relieves the pain.
Either lift the skin or stimulate the skin with gentle jabbing with a sterile pin
Indicates a zone of peritoneal irritation
RLQ– appendicitis
Mid Epigastrium – peptic ulcer
Cutaneous Hypersensitivity
is elicited in patients with acute cholecystitis by asking the patient to take in and hold a deep breath while palpating the right subcostal area
Murphy’s Sign
is a redness and swelling (inflammation) of the gallbladder
Cholecystitis
Lice or nits (eggs) at the base of the pubic indicate infestation with ___. This condition commonly referred to as “crabs” is most often transmitted by sexual contact.
pediculosis pubis
The vagina is tilted typically at a ___° angle posteriorly.
45
is a mucus-secreting gland, which plays a role in vaginal lubrication
Bartholin gland
At this stage, cancer is confined to the cervix. Substage IA involves a microscopic diagnosis, meaning cancer cells can only be seen under a microscope. Substage IB involves a visible tumor that is confined to the cervix.
Stage I (Early Stage):
Cancer has spread beyond the cervix but is still confined to the pelvic area. Substage IIA indicates cancer has spread to the upper part of the vagina, but not to the tissues next to the uterus. Substage IIB indicates the tumor has invaded nearby tissues beside the uterus but has not spread to the pelvic wall.
Stage II (Locally Advanced):
Cancer has spread to the lower part of the vagina or to the walls of the pelvis. Substage IIIA indicates cancer has spread to the lower part of the vagina but not to the pelvic wall. Substage IIIB indicates cancer has spread to the pelvic wall or the tumor has caused kidney problems.
Stage III (Regionally Advanced):
Cancer has spread beyond the pelvic area to distant organs like the bladder, rectum, or even other parts of the body. Substage IVA involves cancer spreading to the bladder or rectum. Substage IVB involves distant metastasis, where cancer has spread to other organs like the lungs or bones.
Stage IV (Advanced):
Fundus is large in the upper end of the uterus and is round, firm, and smooth.
An enlarged uterus and irregular shape suggest pregnancy or a tumor (myoma).
Prepubertal; no public hair and genitals proportionally the same as in childhood.
Stage 1:
Sparse hair growth at the base of the penis slightly darkened. The scrotum and testes enlarge; the scrotum thins and reddens.
Stage 2:
Hair growth darker, more coarse, and curled across the mons pubis. Penis grows in length and the testes and scrotum continue to grow.
Stage 3:
Hair growth is more dense; coarse and curly like in an adult, but not yet spread to the inner thighs. Penis continues to grow; the glans (head) of the penis becomes more prominent. The scrotum darkens.
Stage 4:
