Week 8 Flashcards
cilia trap and remove foreign particles
bronchi
secrete mucous to assist in removing the foreign particles
mucous memebranes
macrophages to eat bacteria
gas exchange takes place
alveoli
the system is goverened by
CNS
inflammation of the nasal mucous membranes
rhinitis
what are the S/S of rhinitis
sneezing, nasal discharge, nasal congestion
what are the causes of rhinitis
common cold, infection, foreign body, allergies, deviated septum
inflammation of the nasal mucosa because of allergic reaction
Allergic rhinitis
What are the S/S of allergic Rhinitis

exposure to allergens antigen antibody reaction occurs histamine is released that causes blood flow to increase to nares capillaries becomes runny nose and eyes
H1 receptor antagonist
antihistamine
Antihistamine do what
compete h1 receptor site
do not prevent histamine release
reduce symptoms of allergic reactions
are more effective if taken before the start of allergic reaction
What are antihistamine side effects
sedation, drying effects, blurred vision, constipation, urinary retention, dry mouth
What are the nursing intervention for antihistamine
monitor I and O monitor respiratory status monitor cardiac status administer with food or milk provide oral care for dry mouth potentiate the effects of narcoticso
movement of air in and out of the lungs
ventilation
blood flow through the pulmonary capillaries to alveoli where gas is exchanged
perfusion
gas exchange by passive process
diffusion
mucous glands in the respiratory tract that create fluids
globlet cells
