Question 15

Which condition has a Tx of o2 & anti microbial therapy with intubation or tracheostomy is necessary

Epiglottis
Croup
Bronchiolitis

Answer 15

Epiglottis

Question 16

Which condition has symptoms of increased dyspnea, paroxysmal cough, wheezing, chest retractions, and flares nostrils 👃?

Epiglottis
Croup
Bronchiolitis

Answer 16

Bronchiolitis

Question 17

Briefly describe Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP). Identify individuals who are at high risk for contracting this type of pneumonia.

Answer 17

Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) is an atypical pneumonia that occurs as an opportunistic and often fatal infection in patients with AIDS. The etiologic agent is a fungus that is inhaled and attaches to alveolar cells, causing necrosis and diffuse interstitial inflammation. Onset is marked by dyspnea and a nonproductive cough.

Question 18

Name the microbial agent responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and identify its mode of transmission?

Answer 18

SARS - CoV
SARS associated coronavirus

Respiratory droplets in close contact

Question 19

Outline the r pathophysiology of SARS

Answer 19

Flulike symptoms are present for 3 to 7 days, followed several days later by a dry cough and marked dyspnea. By day 7, chest radiographs indicate spreading patchy areas of interstitial congestion and severe hypoxia; there may be thrombocytopenia, lymphopenia, and elevated liver enzymes (due to viral damage). The final stage is severe, sometimes fatal respiratory distress.
