Q

How soon do you need to begin antiviral influenza drugs?

38
Q

How is it that influenza is a problem with pneumonia?

A

Influenza can most definitely develop into secondary pneumonia. And from there, bacteria can set up and dwell to make things much worse.

Keep them hydrated so secretions don’t have the chance to breed more bacteria

45
Q

What is asthma considered?

How is it more of a concern in children as opposed to adults?

A

A chronic inflammatory disease also known as reactive airway disease

Dangerous in children bc their narrow airway & immature anatomy puts them more at risk.

A

Lots of things.

Pollen, smoke, temp change, anxiety, drugs, dander, dust

Their airway muscles will tighten & narrow. Then tissue swells and secretions increase occluding the airway which can traps air to where they can’t exhale correctly and therefore wheeze.

48
Q

What tools can asthma be diagnosed with & managed?

A

Standardized Questions - helps identify they have asthma or maybe trigger
Spirometry - measures breathing to see if it is normal
Peak expiratory flow measurement - a daily breathing measurement to see how much they can move today (like we do vitals) & adjust days treatment based off that

49
Q

Peak expiratory flow management colors:

green, yellow, red meaning?

A

Green - do the normal routine

yellow - caution should be used

red - acute exacerbation may be approaching - need short acting bronchodilator. Notify PCP if no improvement

50
Q

What is a main goal when treating asthma?

A

Care for chronic symptoms with long term meds as much as possible to help them maintain their functioning & activity

51
Q

Q

Can triggers for asthma be avoided?

A

Yes asthma environment can somewhat be manipulated to limit exacerbations.

53
Q

How are meds chosen for asthma patient?

A

Based off patient needs really but we want as few as possible while still helping

A

Long term control or prevention
Short acting or rescue
anticholinrgics
corticosteroids

Beclomethosone, budesonide, fluticasone, & mometasone

Educate patients that they need to rinse their mouths out after using due to oral thrush risk.

57
Q

Long acting beta agonists that are used instead of short acting to improve lung functioning?

A

Salmeterol, formoterol, terbutaline

But also in combo: Advair and Symbicort

58
Q

Short & Long acting beta agonist side effects

A

Decreased diastolic blood pressure & arterial pressure
Tachycardia
Jitters
Myocardial ischemia if dose is too high

Terbutaline but be aware of hypokalemia risk

59
Q

Type of drug class that is Iprapropium Bromide?

Side effects?

A

An anticholinergic
