DEXA
Bone Density Scan
26
Pagets Disease
interferes with your body's normal recycling process, in which new bone tissue gradually replaces old bone tissue.
27
How many types of arthritis are there?
140
28
Avascular Necrosis
disease that results from the temporary or permanent loss of blood supply to the bone.
29
Subluxation
an incomplete or partial dislocation of a joint or organ.
30
Plantar Fascitis
inflammation of the fibrous tissue (plantar fascia) along the bottom of your foot that connects your heel bone to your toes.
31
erikson, an infant is in the psychosocial stage
Trust vs Mistrust
32
Fat embolism syndrome
a condition where particles of fat get into your bloodstream and block blood flow - S+S S o b confusion, headache, or seizures. Petechial rash Racing heart rate. Fever.
32
Venous thrombosis
occurs when a blood clot forms in the brain's venous sinuses. S+S Headache Blurred vision Fainting or loss of consciousness Loss of control over movement in part of the body Seizures
33
compensatory stage of shock
the initial stage of shock when the body is still able to compensate for the decrease in tissue perfusion despite a loss of intravascular fluid volume or cardiac dysfunction. S+S Tachycardia Changes in Systolic BP
33
the primary goal for the care of a client who is in shock
Achieve adequate tissue perfusion - Restore intravascular volume, redistribute fluid, and address the underlying cause of fluid loss.
33
Carcinoma
cancer which originates from epithelial cells from the skin, gut or the lining of internal organs.
34
Sarcoma
originates in the bone, muscle, or fat
35
Melanoma
Melanocytes in the skin
36
TNM System
T = tumour size centimeters N = Lymph node status 0-3 can feel nodes M = Metastasis 0 = tested nodes are cancer free 1 = tested nodes show cancer
37
Hypotonic (low concentration
think HIPPO (swollen cells blown up cells) - fat cells swelling hypo/hippo – causes swelling -> LYSIS. Used – cellular dehydration. Saline 0.45%, 0.225% & 0.33%. DO NOT give to patients with increased cranial pressure.
38
Hypertonic (high concentration)
Hypertonic think hyperactive skinny! Cells shrink (high concentration) – causes shrinking. Used for – hyponatremia, cerebral oedema. 3 & 5% saline, 10% dex in H2O, 5% dex in 0.9 or 0.45 NS, 5% dex in LR – typically via central venous catheter.
39
Isotonic
Isotonic (equal concentration) No change = inc ECF. 0.9% NS, lactated ringers, 5% in H2O, 5% dex 0.225% NS. Given when blood loss, dehydration, surgery (aka volume loss)
40
Crystalloids
Crystalloids – clear fluids made up of water and electrolytes, will cross semi-permeable membranes, e.g. LR, NS & dex. Used for fluid resuscitation in the presence of hypovolemia, hemorrhage, sepsis, and dehydration
