QUESTIONS AND DETAILED PATIENT CARE
SKILLS BREAKDOWN FULL REVIEW
◉ hypertension Answer: BP above 140 systolic or 90 diasolic
◉ primary hypertension Answer: high BP where the cause is
unknown
◉ secondary hypertension Answer: high blood pressure caused by
the effects of another disease
◉ what is the normal range for adult respirations Answer: 12-20
◉ apnea Answer: absence of breathing
◉ dyspnea Answer: difficulty breathing
◉ orthopnea Answer: difficulty breathing when lying down
◉ rhonchi Answer: low-pitched gurgling caused by secretions in
large airways; can often clear with coughing
,◉ crackles Answer: discontinuous popping sounds heard over
inspiration; high-pitched popping or low-pitched bubbling sounds
caused by fluid in alveoli
◉ stridor Answer: strained, high-pitched sound heard on inspiration
when an individual experiences respiratory distress or has an
obstructed airway
◉ stertor Answer: Labored breathing that produces a snoring sound
◉ factors that affect respirations Answer: exercise, pain, stress,
smoking, fever, hemoglobin, disease, meds, position, neurological
injury
◉ signs of hypoxia Answer: cyanosis, restlessness, apprehension,
confusion, dizziness, fatigue, decreased level of consciousness,
tachycardia, and BP changes
◉ what is the normal range for adult O2 saturation Answer: 95% or
more
◉ factors that affect oxygen saturation Answer: anxiety, infection,
shock, hypoxia, drugs, acid-base imbalance, disease
, ◉ what is something to consider about oxygen saturation levels in
older adults with disease Answer: they may have a lower oxygen
saturation level and may require supplemental oxygen
◉ disease definition Answer: Infection is the invasion of a
susceptible host by pathogens or microorganisms. Infection will
develop if the Chain of Infection stays intact. This infection will
ultimately result in disease.
◉ chain of infection Answer: -infectious agent/pathogen
-reservoir: place where microorganism survives, multiplies, and
waits to be transferred to a susceptible host.
-portal of exit
-mode of transmission
-susceptible host
◉ acute disease Answer: fast onset, severe/abrupt symptoms,
reversible
◉ chronic disease Answer: slow onset, never goes away, persists 6
