Week 4 Terms: Endocrine Disorders Flashcards

1
Q

Ketoacidosis (DKA)

A

Results from a shortage of insulin

In response the body switches to burning fatty acids and producing acidic ketone bodies that can cause vomiting, dehydration, deep gasping breathing, confusion and occasionally a coma

24
Q

What are sensibilities that can be tested?

(think sensation)

A

Discrimination: being able to discriminate between two different sensations
Cross Haptic Processing: ability to determine if sensory information is important
Vibratory Sense
Moving Two Point Sensation: discriminate between two sensations

25
Q

Cretinism

A

Condition of congenital hypothyroidism in children that results in a lack of mental development and dwarfed physical stature; the thyroid gland is either congenitally absent or imperfectly developed

26
Q

90% of cases

30
Q

What are some sensory deficits of peripheral neuropathy?

A

Pain/Temperature
Moving 2 point sensation
Protective Sensation

31
Q

True/False
Neuropathy is something we can fix with treatment.

A

False

Neuropathy is not something we can fix with treatment. Typically a diagnosis that a client will need adaptive techniques to manage.

49
Q

Graves’ Disease (Hyperthyroidism)

A

Related to an autoimmune factor where thyroid produces more hormone than the body needs
