Q

Reasons for absent or decreased breath sounds

A
  1. Bronchial tree obstruction- by secretions, mucus plug, foreign body
  2. Decreased force of inspired air- emphysema
  3. Hyperinflation, inhaled air does not make as much noise- emphysema
  4. Obstruction between lung and stethoscope- pleurisy, pleural thickening, pneumothorax or fluid in pleural lung space (pleural effusion)

16
Q

Barrel chest

A

When AP=TD, common in COPD due to hyperinflation of the lungs.

17
Q

Reasons for increased breath sounds

A

Consolidation (pneumonia) or compression (fluid in intrapleural space- creates a dense lung area that enhances sound.

18
Q

Coarse Crackles

A

popping sounds heard over inspiration when air collides with secretions in the trachea and bronchi. May occur due to pneumonia, pulmonary edema, fibrosis, terminally ill with decreased cough reflex

19
Q

Wheezes

A

High pitched, musical squeaking sounds that predominate in expiration. Caused by compressed airways due to swelling, tumors, asthma, or emphysema

20
Q

Characteristics to describe breath sounds

A
  1. Inspiration or Expiration
  2. Loudness
  3. Pitch
  4. Location
21
Q

6 minute walk test

A

A person who walks >300m in 6 minutes is more likely to engage in ADL

22
Q

Compensation for kyphosis

A

extending neck and tipping back head

23
Q

Four functions of the respiratory system

A
  1. Provide oxygen to tissues
  2. Rid body of CO2/wastes
  3. Maintain homeostasis (acid/base balance)
  4. Maintain heat exchange
24
Q

Where does most lymphatic drainage in the breast go?

A

The ipsilateral side (75%)

25
Q

Changes in breasts in the aging adult

A
  1. Breast glandular tissue atrophies, replaced by fibrous connective tissue
  2. Drooping- may be accentuated by kyphosis
  3. Breast lumps may be more palpable.
26
Q

Women who are less likely to have mammograms

A
  1. Less than a high school education
  2. No health insurance
  3. Recent immigrants
27

  1. Pain—PQRST, cyclical is common
  2. Lump— how long? Relationship to cycle?
  3. Discharge—color, consistency, odor
  4. Rash— where did it start?
  5. Swelling
  6. Trauma
  7. Hx of breast cancer
  8. Surgery/radiation
  9. Medications- OCP and combined hormonal therapy increases risk of breast cancer
  10. Axilla—assess for tenderness, swelling, lump
  11. Screening exams
  12. Teaching
28

  1. Inspect breast
  2. Inspect & palpate axilla
  3. Palpate the breasts
  4. Teach BSE
29
Q

Inspection of the breast

A
  1. General appearance- Inspect for redness, heat, vascular pattern, edema, discoloration
  2. Nipples- normally protrude, assess for discharge
  3. Lift arms over head, assess for retraction, lag in movement of one breast
30
Q

Palpation of the axilla

A
  1. Down the chest wall from middle of the axilla
  2. Anterior axilla border

  4. Axillary mass
  5. Scaly nipple
  6. Tender breast
33
Q

Post-mastectomy lymphedema
