narrowing of the aortic valve between LA and aorta d/t age related calcium
deposits, exertional dyspnea, syncope and light headedness, dizziness d/t lack
of blood flow to the body.
Choose an answer
what o2 saturation do we prefer
1 patients without respiratory issues to 2 s/s of pneumothorax
be above?
3 how do they diagnose COPD? 4 aortic valve stenosis
Don't know?
Terms in this set (155)
what o2 saturation do we prefer 92%
patients without respiratory issues to
be above?
,When is their cough the worst with in the morning
COPD?
s/s of COPD (emphysema and chronic dyspnea, chronic cough, barrel chest d/t loss of
bronchitis) elasticity with emphysema, weight loss,
what results with an ABG show in a hypercapnia and decreased O2 (hypoxemia)
patient with COPD?
how do they diagnose COPD? PFT-track how well their lungs are functioning over a
period of time, ABG- assess gas exchange in alveoli,
chest xray-to rule out other conditions, CT,
transbronchial biopsy
COPD prevention don't inhale chemicals, minimize air pollution on high
alert days patients don't go outside
The single most cost-effective no smoking/avoid tobacco
intervention to reduce the risk of
developing COPD or slow
progression is?
transbronchial biopsy nursing numb throat & conscious sedation means NOTHING
considerations by mouth until they are awake, and alert and gag
reflex has returned- can cause aspiration
sarcoidosis treatment steroids (for up to 1 year) to help with inflammation
which can cause immunosuppression and increases
blood sugar- MUST MONITOR
normal blood sugar level 70-110
how do you discontinue steroid use in taper them off, do not just immediately stop
a patient?
pneumothorax tension d/t traumatic experience, opening in chest wall
, s/s of pneumothorax depends on the size of the pneumothorax: chest
pain, absent/ diminished breath sounds on effected
side, tachypnea, agitation, air hungry, restlessness,
cyanosis if 02 is extremely compromised, tracheal
shift to contralateral side
nursing care of patient with a monitor o2 status, chest tube placement
pneumothorax
nurses job DURING chest tube POSITIONING patient- and advocacy for our
placement patients, patient will be hooked to low wall suction
suction control chamber, what will you GENTLE continuous bubbling
see?
what will you see in the water seal intermittent bubbling as the air escapes the pleural
chamber? space and goes into the tube
what will you see in the patient 3 large chambers where the fluid escapes pleural
drainage section of the chest space and stays in the machine
tube/suctioning?
What do we assess with the chest tube COCA, sudden increase in fluid drainage would be a
and drainage? bad sign, changes in color of drainage would also be
concerning
What will they give patients before opioids
chest tube placement?
what are we supposed to monitor oxygen status- VERY IMPORTANT
throughout the duration that the
patient has the chest tube?
pleural effusion collection of fluid in the pleural space- there is
normally some there so that friction doesnt occur,
but now there is too much.
