Centered Nursing Process Approach
What are the two major categories of lower respiratory tract disorders. - correct
answerChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and restrictive pulmonary
disease COPD is caused by airway obstruction which causes.... - correct
answerincreased airway resistance of airflow to lung tissues. causes a decrease in total
lung capacity as a result of fluid accumulation or loss of elasticity of the lung. - correct
answerRestrictive lung disease What is the definition of Asthma - correct
answerinflammatory disorder of the airway walls associated with a varying amount of
airway obstruction When activated by stimuli, the bronchial airways become inflamed
and edematous, leading to constriction of air passages. This process is related to which
lower respiratory tract disorder? - correct answerAsthma Chronic bronchitis definition -
correct answerProgressive lung disease caused by smoking or chronic lung infections
Bronchial inflammation and excessive mucous secretion result in airway obstruction.
This process is related to which lower respiratory tract disorder? - correct
answerChronic bronchitis The bronchioles become obstructed by the breakdown of the
epithelium of the bronchial mucosa. This process is related to which disorder? - correct
answerBronchiectasis What may result from the bronchioles becoming obstructed by
the breakdown of the epithelium of the bronchial mucosa? - correct answerTissue
fibrosis may result Progressive lung disease where the terminal bronchioles become
plugged with mucus, causing a loss in the fiber and elastin network in the alveoli. -
correct answerEmphysema What is the most common risk factor for COPD, especially
with chronic bronchitis and emphysema? - correct answerCigarette smoking
Medications frequently prescribed for COPD include: - correct answerbronchodilators,
glucocorticoids, leukotriene modifiers, expectorants, and antibiotics. Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease characterized by periods of bronchospasm resulting in wheezing
and difficulty breathing. - correct answerBronchial Asthma Results when the lung tissue
is exposed to extrinsic or intrinsic factors that stimulate a bronchoconstrictive response.
- correct answerBronchospasm Cells found in connective tissue throughout the body
are directly involved in the asthmatic response, particularly to extrinsic factors. - correct
answerMast cells (Allergens attach themselves to mast cells and basophils, resulting in
an antigen-antibody reaction on the mast cells in the lung; the mast cells stimulate the
release of chemical mediators such as histamines, cytokines, serotonin, eosinophil
chemotactic factor of anaphylaxis (ECF-A), and leukotrienes) Exposure to an allergen
results in... - correct answerbronchial hyper-responsiveness, epithelial shedding of the
bronchial wall, mucous gland hyperplasia and hypersecretion, leakage of plasma that
