UPDATED EXAMS SET
◍ most common form of hyperthyroidism, auto immune disorder in
which antibodies that mimi the roll of TSH produce and increase in
secretion of thyroid hormones. Answer: graves disease
◍ endocrine emergency characterized by hyper-function of the
thyroid gland, occurs when body is stressed by diabetic emergency.
Answer: thyroid storm
◍ usually DM type 2; high plasma glucose concentration, absent
keytone production, increase serum osmolality. Answer: hyperosmolar
hyperglycemic non-ketotic syndrome (HHNS)
◍ inglamation of the meninges, headache, nuchal rigidity/ neck
stiffness, fever/chills. Answer: meningitis
◍ infection that usually effects several body systems; resistant to
multiple antibiotics, small red localized bumps, pain, fever, redness.
Answer: MRSA
,◍ direct result of antibiotic therapy, suppresses the normal flora in the
GI tract;c-diff can predominate; non bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain.
Answer: clostridium difficile (c-diff)
◍ RAS converts angiotensin to andiotensin 1; lungs convert to
angiotensin 2 via angiotensin converting enzymes (ACE);angiotensin
2 is a potent/short lived vasoconstrictor, RAS causes increase in
preload, after-load, and reabsorption of sodium. Answer: renin-
angiotensin system activation (RAS)
◍ anxiety, restlessness, initial hyperventilation,
bradycardia followed by tachycardia
hypertention followed by hypotention
dysrhythmia
bitter almond oder to breath
nausea, pupil dilation, headache, confusion, dizziness
TREATMENT- sodium thiosulfate IV. Answer: cyanide poisoning
◍ pulse waveform showing alternating strong and weak beats
* indicative of left ventricular disfunction*. Answer: pulsus alternans
◍ can be confirmed with ST- changes in all leads. Answer:
pericarditis
◍ characterized by diffuse abdominal pain. Answer: Acetametaphen
Overdose
, ◍ press firmly upward into RUQ and ask pt to take a deep breath;
arrest on inspiration due to pain is a positive finding
*associated with gallbladder or hepatic involvement). Answer:
murphy's sign
◍ appendicitis; left lateral recumbent position, extend right leg at hip,
if pain increases in RLQ its a positive finding. Answer: PSOAS sign
◍ involuntary flexing of the legs from flexing neck. Answer:
brudzinski's sign
◍ flexion of knee and hip, extension of knee is painful, leading
resistance and flexion of the torso. Answer: kerning's sign
◍ causes a drop in blood sugar. Answer: bata blocker OD
◍ raises blood sugar, QT interval changes. Answer: calcium channel
blocker OD
◍ includes events and conditions that damage the epithelial cell layer;
can be caused indirectly by a massive immune response in which
chemical mediators are transported in the blood- stream (creates chain
reaction where all organs including lungs start to disfunction called
multiple organ disfunction syndrome (MODS). Answer: ARDS
