ON EXAM What are the 4 types of precautions? make sure they are in order from least cautious-most cautious
1. universal precautions 2. contact precautions 3. droplet precautions 4. airborne precautions
75
ON EXAM Describe universal precautions
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
ON EXAM Describe Contact Precautions
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
ON EXAM Describe Droplet Precautions
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
ON EXAM Describe Airborne Precautions
Prevents transmission of infectious agents that remain infectious over long distances when suspended in the air. Should be placed in an airborne infection isolation room (ventilated into a filtration system). Items: Gloves, gown, respirator mask Examples: TB, Measles, chickenpox
79
What are the tests/procedures for the cardiovascular system?
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
What are the tests/procedures for the neurological system?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) Positron Emission Tomography (PET Scan) Shunt placement Craniotomy
81
******ON EXAM***** What are the tests/procedures for the gastrointestinal system?
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) Upper Gastro-Intestinal (UGI) Esophagram Colonoscopy
82
What is an EGD?
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) Take a camera and send it down through the … to check the esophagus, Make a referral oftentimes to a GI doctor.
83
What is a UGI?
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
What is an esophagram?
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
What are the tests/procedures for the genitourinary system?
dialysis urinalysis
86
what are the tests/procedures for the musculoskeletal system?
Electromyography (EMG) X-Rays
87
What are the tests/procedures for the respiratory system?
bronchoscopy Chest X-ray sputum culture pulmonary function test (PFT) Mantoux Intradermal Skin Test/Purified Protein Derivative (PPD--TB Test) Lung biopsy
88
What are we looking for as SLPs in a chest x-ray?
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
What tests/procedures do we do for the endocrine system?
blood work
90
What are some contractible illnesses/diseases that we need to be aware, and what are their abbreviations?
Tuberculosis (TB) Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus (VRE) Clostridium Difficile (C-Diff)--C-Diff is not killed by antibacterial gel and antibiotics Hepatitis (A, B, C) Thrush/Candida oYeast infection in your mouth=thrush oYeast travels down to esophagus=candida Herpes (this can travel down to the esophagus) Cold/Flu
