1. Turgor (Skin Turgor) - ANSWER Elasticity of the skin, pinching the skin
on the back of the hand, a slow rebound response indicates dehydration
(hypernatremia w/ water deficit, respiratory etiology; hyperventilation
2. Work of Breathing (WOB) - ANSWER A common term used to express
extra respiratory effort in a variety of pulmonary conditions. Causing
fatigue, weakness of respiratory muscles, and increased respiratory rate
(tachypnea).
3. Vascular markings - ANSWER Moderately obscured branching pattern of
white markings shows lymphatics, vessels, lung tissue
4. Honeycombing - ANSWER Small (6 to 10 mm) cystic spaces with thick (1
to 3 mm) walls. usually have shared walls . Usually in posterior subpleural
regions. End-stage pulmonary fibrosis: IPF (UIP). Chronic hypersensitivity
pneumonitis. Occasionally sarcoidosis.
5. Pneumonia CXR - ANSWER -Increased density
-Air bronchograms
-Pleural effusions
6. Pulmonary edema CXR - ANSWER Butterfly formation on CXR
,7. Indication of chest tube - ANSWER Pneumothorax (most common)
8. Croup CXR - ANSWER -Steeple sign (subglottic narrowing)
9. Epiglottitis CXR - ANSWER Thumb sign
10.CT determination of Bronchiectasis - ANSWER signet ring opacity formed
by the ring-like shadow of a dilated airway
11.Ultrasound - ANSWER not used when determining lung conditions due to
poor profusion
12.Electrophysiology of the heart - ANSWER SA node (pacemaker): Atrial
depolarization
QRS complex: Ventricular depolarization & Atrial Repolarization
T wave: Ventricular Repolarization
13.ECG lead placement - ANSWER The Standard or Mason-Likar 12 lead
system uses 10 electrodes: 4 limb electrodes and 6 precordial electrodes.
14.ECG Artifact - ANSWER an abnormal signal that does not reflect electrical
activity of the heart during the cardiac cycle, due to patient movement or the
pt not relaxing
15.Respiratory function - ANSWER Ventilation, Oxygenation, Circulation,
Perfusion
,16.Trachea shift away from affected side - ANSWER Pneumothorax, lung
tumor, pleural effusion
17.Trachea shift towards affected side - ANSWER atelectasis, lung collapse
18.Cheyne-Stokes respiration - ANSWER pattern of breathing characterized by
a gradual increase of depth and sometimes rate to a maximum level,
followed by a decrease, resulting in apnea
19.Kussmaul respirations - ANSWER Deep, rapid breathing; usually the result
of an accumulation of certain acids when insulin is not available in the body.
Seen with severe metabolic acidosis w/ renal failure.
20.Subcutaneous emphysema (crepitus) - ANSWER A characteristic crackling
sensation felt on palpation of the skin, caused by the presence of air in soft
tissues.
21.Collapsed alveoli popping open during inspiration - ANSWER indication of
atalectasis, pneumonia, or pulmonary edema associated with CHF.
Treatment includes Incentive spirometry (IS), Diuretics, heart medications,
and supplemental oxygen.
22.Term Infants - ANSWER 37-42 weeks
23.Apgar scale - ANSWER a standard measurement system that looks for a
variety of indications of good health in newborns 7-10 Good, 4-6 Fair, 0-3
Poor
, 24.Hemoglobin - ANSWER Primary function is to carry oxygen to the lungs
and body tissue.
25.Normal urine output (Adults) - ANSWER 1-2 ml/kg/hr Equation is pt's
weight in lb's x's 2.2(kg) x's 1= ml per hour of urine output.
26.Major body electrolytes - ANSWER -Sodium
-Potassium
-Chloride
-Bicarbonate
imbalances in electrolytes result in weakness, fatigue, and malaise
27.Radiolucent - ANSWER a substance that allows x-rays to pass through and
appears black or dark gray on the resulting film
28.Sinus Bradycardia - ANSWER <60 bpm
normal sinus rhythm
29.Sinus Tachycardia - ANSWER >100 (100-150)
normal sinus rhythm
most common clinical response is supplemental oxygen
30.premature ventricular contraction (PVC) - ANSWER a ventricular
contraction preceding the normal impulse initiated by the SA node
(pacemaker), frequent PVC's may indicate poor coronary blood flow, or
adequate blood flow with poor oxygenation.
