ABG analysis for exam - ANSWER-METABOLIC ALKALOSIS
Absence (petit-mal) seizures - ANSWER-*generalized seizures that are
more common in children than adults, beginning about age 5.
*The seizure lasts for 5 to 10 seconds and may occur many times during
the day.
*There is a brief loss of awareness and sometimes transient facial
movements, such as twitches of the eyelids or lip smacking.
*Usually, the child simply stares into space for a moment and then
resumes the activity previously pursued.
*No memory of the episode is retained.
,Acromegaly - ANSWER-Chronic metabolic condition of adults caused by
hypersecretion of GH by pituitary gland.
Causes: pituitary tumor or adenoma is often cause
Affects men and women equally
Addison's Disease - ANSWER-gradually manifested as symptoms of:
Fatigue
Weakness
Anorexia
Agitation
Confusion
Weight loss
Gastrointestinal disturbances
Bronze color skin
Cardiovascular difficulties (irregular pulse, reduced cardiac output,
orthostatic hypotension)
Depression, anxiety, emotional distress
Reduced levels of aldosterone r/t inability to retain water and salt
Addison's Disease - ANSWER-partial or complete failure of
adrenocortical function
,Causes: Gradual with progressive destruction of adrenal gland and
reduction in important hormones; Can result from...
Autoimmune process
TB
Hemorrhage
Fungal infections
Neoplasm
Surgical resection of gland
Familial tendencies
Can be secondary to hypopituitarism
Ankylosing Spondylitis Etiology - ANSWER-A chronic progressive
inflammatory condition that affects the sacroiliac joints, intervertebral
spaces, and costovertebral joints of the axial skeleton.
Women tend to have peripheral joint involvement to a greater extent
than men, although the disorder is more common in men.
It usually develops in persons 20 to 30 years of age and varies in
severity.
Remissions and exacerbations mark the course. The cause has not been
fully determined, but it is deemed an autoimmune disorder with a
, genetic basis, given the presence of HLA-B27 antigen in the serum of
most patients.
Ankylosing Spondylitis S&S - ANSWER-*initial low back pain and
stiffness
*Rigid spine
*Some systemic signs (fever, fatigue, weight loss)
*Uveitis, particularly iritis (inflammation in the eye)
Ann Arbor staging system generally defines: - ANSWER-**Stage I cancer
as affecting a single lymph node or region
**Stage II as affecting two or more lymph node regions on the same
side of the diaphragm or in a relatively localized area.
**Stage III cancer involves nodes on both sides of the diaphragm and
the spleen.
**Stage IV represents diffuse extra-lymphatic involvement such as
bone, lung, or liver.
Extensive testing is required to stage lymphomas accurately.
Aplastic Anemia S&S - ANSWER-*anemia (pallor, weakness, dyspnea)
*Leukopenia
*Thrombocytopenia (petechiae- flat, red, pinpoint hemorrhages on skin
& tend to bleed excessively in the mouth)
Arteriosclerosis - ANSWER-General term for all artery changes;
degenerative changes in the small arteries and arterioles.
