Trendelenburg gait - ANSWERS-A drop of the pelvis on the side opposite of the stance
leg, indicating weakness of the hip abductors.
Osteoporosis - ANSWERS-A disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration
of bone tissue, increasing fracture risk.
Fibromyalgia - ANSWERS-A condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal
pain, fatigue, and tenderness in localized areas.
Hirsutism - ANSWERS-Abnormal hair growth on the face and body.
Keratoacanthoma (KA) - ANSWERS-A low-grade tumor that originates in the
pilosebaceous glands, resembling squamous cell carcinoma.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome - ANSWERS-A hormonal disorder causing enlarged
ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges.
Sun protection - ANSWERS-The use of sunblock to protect aging skin from ultraviolet
exposure.
Decreased melanocytes - ANSWERS-A pathologic change due to aging of the
integumentary system that affects skin pigmentation.
,Pressure injury staging - ANSWERS-The process of determining the severity of a
pressure injury, which can be full-thickness, partial-thickness, unstageable, or deep
tissue.
actinic keratosis - ANSWERS-a precancerous skin growth that occurs on sun-damaged
skin
Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) - ANSWERS-Systemic
inflammation that leads to organ dysfunction, organ failure, death; exaggerated defense
response of the body to infection, trauma, burns, pancreatitis
Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) - ANSWERS-Progressive impairment of
two or more organ systems resulting from an uncontrolled inflammatory response to a
severe illness or injury in those that have sustained SIRS.
toxic shock syndrome (TSS) - ANSWERS-a severe illness characterized by high fever,
rash, vomiting, diarrhea, and myalgia, followed by hypotension and, in severe cases,
shock and death; usually affects menstruating women using tampons; caused by
Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes
Rule of 9's adult - ANSWERS-Head = 9%, Chest (front) = 9%, Abdomen (front) = 9%,
Upper/mid/low back and buttocks = 18%, Each arm = 9% (front = 4.5%, back = 4.5%),
Groin = 1%, Each leg = 18% total (front = 9%, back = 9%)
Lactated Ringers (LR) - ANSWERS-sterile solution for fluid and electrolyte
replenishment. It restores fluid and electrolyte balances, produces diuresis, and acts as
alkalizing agent (reduces acidity); sterile crystalloid isotonic IV solution of specified
amounts of calcium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium chloride, and sodium lactate in
water; used for burns
D5W - ANSWERS-5% dextrose in water; treat hypoglycemia
, hypovolemic shock - ANSWERS-A condition in which low blood volume, due to massive
internal or external bleeding or extensive loss of body water, results in inadequate
perfusion.
neurogenic shock - ANSWERS-Circulatory failure caused by paralysis of the nerves that
control the size of the blood vessels, leading to widespread dilation; seen in patients
with spinal cord injuries.
septic shock - ANSWERS-Shock caused by severe infection, usually a bacterial
infection.
cardiogenic shock - ANSWERS-Shock caused by inadequate function of the heart, or
pump failure.
anaphylactic shock - ANSWERS-Severe allergic reaction
Prevalence - ANSWERS-Prevalence tells us how often disease is seen in a population,
which includes all people with the disease at a given time, at any stage in the disease
progression.
Prader-Willi syndrome - ANSWERS-caused by a disorder of a portion of chromosome
15. Normally, a portion of this chromosome is inherited from both parents. With Prader-
Willi syndrome, the chromosome inherited from the father is problematic.
inflammatory process - ANSWERS-The inflammatory response is a defense mechanism
designed to remove damaged tissue so the body can heal.
Neutrophils - ANSWERS-Neutrophils are one of the first responders to acute
inflammation, and an increase in neutrophils demonstrates an acute inflammatory
response.
Active-acquired immunity - ANSWERS-produced by an individual after either natural
exposure to the antigen or after immunization against the antigen.
