Q

compliance

Q

A

pressure difference between the mouth and the alveoli in relation to the rate of flow of

mL

19
Q

cheyne-stokes respiration

A

pattern of breathing where increasingly longer and more frequent
periods of apnea alternates with hyperpnea;

20
Q

biot’s respiration

A

respirations are abnormally shallow for two to three breaths, followed by regular
period of apnea

21
Q

adventitious breath sounds

A

abnormal breath sounds

22
Q

crackles

A

discontinuous, explosive, “popping” sounds that originate within the airways. Heard more
commonly during inspirations than expiration. Significant as they imply either accumulation of fluid
secretions or exudate within airways or inflammation and edema in the pulmonary tissue

23
Q

wheeze

A

continuous musical tones that are most commonly heard at the end of inspiration or early
expiration

24
Q

stridor

A 
abnormal, high-pitched, musical breathing sound caused by a blockage in the throat or
voice box (larynx). Usually heard when taking a breath
25
Q

stertor:

A

heavy snoring sound in respiration

26
Q

pleural friction rub

A

dry, rubbing or grating sound, usually caused by inflammation of pleural
surfaces; heard during inspiration or expiration; loudest over lower lateral anterior surface

27
Q

cyanosis

A

blue discolouration of the skin and mucous membranes caused by the presence of
desaturated hemoglobin in capillaries, is a late sign of hypoxia

28
Q

hemoptysis

A

bloody sputum

29
Q

hypoxia

A

decrease in the amount of arterial oxygen

30
Q

hypoxemia

A

inadequate concentration of oxygen in arterial blood

31
Q

barrel chest

A

permanently rounded chest commonly found in people with emphysema, due to
trapped air in the lungs causing the rib cage to remain partially expanded

32
Q

kyphosis

A

increased convexity in curvature of thoracic spine

33
Q

clubbing

A

rounded and bulbous, the angle of the nail bed

34
Q

NARRATIVE

A

chronological order of events that occur
story format
includes gathering information
sentence structure is preferred, although columns are sometimes used
traditional method of recording care
legibility is very important
disadvantages:
the tendency to have repetitious information
time consuming to complete
requires reader to sort through much of the information to locate desired data

35
Q

SOAP

A

SOAP (subjective-objective-assessment-plan) charting:
1st progress note method
similar to nursing process to collect data about the client’s problems, draw
conclusions and develop plan of care
charting involves:
subjective data (verbalizations of the client)
objective data (data measured and observed)
assessment (diagnosis based on data)
plan (what the caregiver plans to do)

36
Q

PIE

A

(problem-intervention-evaluation) format – SOAPIE
2nd progress note method
problem-oriented nature
different from SOAP method
PIE charting originated in nursing practice
SOAP originated from medical records
P - problem: knowledge deficit regarding surgery related to inexperience
I - intervention: explain to client normal preoperative preparations for surgery (deep
breathing & coughing), provided booklet to client on post-operative nursing care
E - evaluation: client demonstrates (deep breathing & coughing) exercises correctly;
needs review of post-operative care

37
Q

DAR

A

(data-action-response)
3rd progress note format
includes both subjective and objective data, action or nursing intervention, and the
response of the client
address client’s concerns: a sign or symptom, a condition, a nursing diagnosis, a
behaviour, a significant event, or a change in client’s condition

38
Q

PROBLEM-ORIENTED MEDICAL RECORDS (POMR)

A

method of documentation that emphasizes client’s problem

SOAP

39
Q

ACUITY CHARTING

A

provides a method of determining the hours of care and staff required for a given group of
clients

40
Q

FOCUS CHARTING

A

movement away from charting only problems which has a negative connotation
DAR

41
Q

CHARTING BY EXCEPTION (CBE)

A

only significant findings or exceptions to standards or norms of care are recorded
flow sheets or charts
* indicates explanation

42
Q

Kardex (client care summary)

A

What we use to look up or patient in clinical

43
Q

Nursing flow sheet

A

document routine nursing procedures
designed to free the nurse from writing procedures that are done repeatedly
vital signs including pulse, respiration, blood pressure, and temperature are shown
graphically on a flow sheet
fluid intake and outtake, dressing changes, meals taken, and breath sounds
routine repetitive care actions (hygiene, ambulation, meals, weights and
safety/restraint checks)

44
Q

Discharge Instruction

A

started at the time the patient is admitted, and is completed at discharge
lists the discharge planning and teaching that took place since the patient was admitted,
and documents the patient’s condition at the time of discharge.
also lists instructions concerning care after discharge

45
Q

acute care

A 
Maintaining elimination habits
Medications
Briefs/Incontinent protection
Urethral catheterization
Alternatives to urethral catheterization: suprapubic catheters, condom catheters
Maintenance of skin integrity
Promotion of comfort
46
Q

restorative care

A 
Lifestyle modification
Strengthening pelvic floor muscles
Bladder training
Habit retraining and prompted voiding
Self-catheterization
