  2. contact precautions
  3. droplet precautions
  4. airborne precautions
75
Q

ON EXAM

Describe universal precautions

A

Treat everyone, including yourself, as having a contractible illness/disease.

Items: Gloves

You should always wash your hands (thoroughly) with antibacterial soap before entering a patient’s room and after. Most hospitals now have antibacterial gel outside every room.

Also, while preparing food for a swallow eval, wear gloves

76
Q

ON EXAM

Describe Contact Precautions

A

Intended to prevent transmission of infectious agents which are spread by direct or indirect contact with the patient or the patient’s environment.

Items: Gloves, gown (if going to be in contact with patient or environment)

Examples: C-Diff., Herpes, VRE

77
Q

ON EXAM

Describe Droplet Precautions

A

Intended to prevent transmission of pathogens spread through close respiratory or mucous membrane contact with respiratory secretions. These pathogens do no remain infectious over long distances in a healthcare facility. Therefore, special air handling and ventilation are not required.

Items: Gloves, mask (non-respirator), gown, eye protectors (if close contact)

Examples: Pertussis/Whooping cough, Influenza, Streptococcus

78
Q

ON EXAM

Describe Airborne Precautions

Electro Cardiography (EKG)

Echocardiogram

Pulse oximetry (Pulse-ox)–Used often w/ SLPs in the ICU. This determines how much oxygen is in your blood. We are often looking at O2 Sats….Don’t feed/do swallow eval. at 90% or lower—that’s the cutoff

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)–Often times someone who has this, they may get a paralyzed vocal chord b/c of the vagus nerve that surrounds the heart. -Oftentimes its temporary unless the nerve has been severed.

Carotid Endarterectomy–Roto rooter that cleans out the carotid. Superior laryngeal nerve may get damaged with this.

80
Q

What are the tests/procedures for the neurological system?

A

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Computerized Tomography (CT Scan)

81
Q

**ON EXAM*

What are the tests/procedures for the gastrointestinal system?

A

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)

Upper Gastro-Intestinal (UGI)

Esophagram

Colonoscopy

82
Q

What is an EGD?

A

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)

Take a camera and send it down through the … to check the esophagus,

Make a referral oftentimes to a GI doctor.

83
Q

What is a UGI?

A

Upper Gastro-Intestinal (UGI)

a UGI is basically the same thing as MBS but they use just one texture of liquid and they look further down. Done by a radiologist, not a GI doctor

84
Q

What is an esophagram?

A

Same thing as a UGI but you don’t go as far down.

**We do a modified Barium swallow study. If we get a barium swallow study we need to confirm with a doctor. Barium swallow study=esophagram→a radiologist does this not us.

Esophagram looks at esophagus & a little bit of the stomach

85
Q

What are the tests/procedures for the genitourinary system?

A

dialysis

urinalysis

86
Q

what are the tests/procedures for the musculoskeletal system?

A

Electromyography (EMG)

What are the tests/procedures for the respiratory system?

A

bronchoscopy

Chest X-ray

sputum culture

pulmonary function test (PFT)

Mantoux Intradermal Skin Test/Purified Protein Derivative (PPD–TB Test)

Lung biopsy

88
Q

What are we looking for as SLPs in a chest x-ray?

A

Looking at this for pneumonia

lower-right lobe is most likely to get pneumonia. The trachea extends lower on the right side, it’s more of a straight shot on the right

Right lower lobe pneumonia is a big red flag for aspiration pneumonia

89
Q

What tests/procedures do we do for the endocrine system?

A

blood work

90
Q

What are some contractible illnesses/diseases that we need to be aware, and what are their abbreviations?
