Answer 3

>= 160 SBP; or >= 100 mmHG DBP

Question 4

signs and symptoms include: fatigue, aching, numbness, or pain primarily in the buttock, thigh, calf, or foot at rest or when walking; poorly healing wounds of the legs or feet; distal hair loss, trophic skin changes and hypertrophic nails

Answer 4

Peripheral Arterial Disease

Question 5

Pts have an increased TLC with a significant increase in residual volume

Answer 5

COPD

Question 6

Fluid collects in the aveoli - left ventrical is unable to pump blood adequately - pressure increases inside the left atrium and then in the pulmonary veins and capillaries, causing fluid to be pushed through the capillary walls into the alveoli - feeling of suffocating or drowning, sob, irregular pulse, frothy, blood-tinged sputum

Answer 6

Pulmonary Edema

Question 7

complete or partial collapse of a lung or lobe of a lung - develops when th tiny air sacs within the lung become deflated.

Answer 7

Atelectasis

Question 8

used to visualize the location, size, and shape of the heart, lungs, blood vessels, ribs, and bones of the spine. Can also reveal fluid in the lungs or pleural space, pneumonia, emphysema, cancer, and other conditions

Answer 8

Chest Radiograph

Question 9

This is marked by dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain that is aggravated by deep breathing, mild fever, and decreased or absent breath sounds over the effusion. Fluid accumulates in the space between the layers of pleura.

Answer 9

Pleural Effusion - abnormal amount of fluid around the lungs -

Question 10

This is marked by bronchial - crackling, bubbling,and rumbling sounds when inhale - breath sounds, and pleuritic chest pain is usually not aggravated by deep breathing.

Answer 10

Pneumonia

Question 11

This is marked by bibasilar or diffuse crackles rather than absence of breath sounds.

Answer 11

Pulmonary edema - excess fluid in lungs

Question 12

The volume of air expired during a forced maximal expiration after a forced maximal inspiration.

Answer 12

FVC Forced Vital Capacity

Question 13

A pt with cor pulmonale will likely exhibit what response to exercise?

Answer 13

Increased HR decreased BP - pts who have cor pulmonale exhibit right sided heart failure as a result of pulmonary hypertension. These pts tend to present w a decrease in cardiac output (although heart rate increases, stroke volume and systolic blood pressure decrease) during ex,resulting in pallor, sweating, hypotension and rapid pulse of small amplitude..
