MDC FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE/126
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS/VERIFIED/GRADED A+
Referred pain - - Occurs in an area distant from the site of origin. Example: pain
from a heart attack might be felt in the left arm or jaw
-Phantom Pain - - Pain that is perceived from an area that has been surgically or
traumatically removed. Example: pain from an amputated limb.
-Neuropathic pain - - Results from an injury of one or more nerves
-Acute pain - - Short duration, rapid onset, and associated with some kind of
injury.
-Chronic pain - - Last 6 months or longer and interferes with activities of daily
living.
-Radiating pain - - Starts at an origin but extends to other locations. Example:
pain from a sore throat might extend to ears and head.
-Deep Somatic pain - - Originates from the ligaments, tendons, nerves, blood
vessels and bones. Examples would be fractures or sprains
-Cutaneous Pain - - Arises from burning your skin like on a hot iron or from
touching a hot pan on the stove.
-Visceral Pain - - Caused from deep internal disorders such as menstrual cramps,
labor pains, or gastrointestinal infections.
-Nonverbal signs of pain - - Use gestures -Be concrete and specific, Keep eye
contact (hearing impaired patients will read your lips)
-Culture importance in the healthcare - - Socially transmitted behaviors, arts,
beliefs, values, customs, lifeways and other characteristics that guide decision
making
-Therapeutic communication techniques - - Client-centered communication
directed to achieve the patients' goal. 5 key characteristics of Therapeutic
Communication: Empathy, Respect, Genuineness, Concreteness, and
Confrontation
-Barriers of communication - - Non-therapeutic patterns of communication that
can create an unsuccessful communication. ex: •Asking to many questions
-Vital Signs: Temperature - - Normal 96.4-99.5
, -Vital Signs Pulse - - 60-100 bpm
-Vital Signs: Respirations - - 12-20 BPM
-Vital Signs Blood Pressure - - 120/80
-Vital Signs Pain - - Subjective data- (PQRST) P- palliative/precipitating factors,
Q-quality of pain, R-region/ radiation, S-subjective descriptions, T-Timing
-Home safety for infants - - Smothering, fires and carbon monoxide poisoning are
all common in infants. ??????
-Never events - - Injuries or death to a patine that should never happen in a
hospital Ex: Falls, Trauma, Air Embolism.
-Fall prevention - - Declutter room, Remove rugs, provide assistive devices, place
close to Nurses station, hand rails.
-Promotion of independence - - promote them to do ADLS by themselves so like
brushing teeth, toileting, grooming, walking, bathing or showering
-Benefits of activity - - reduce your risk of a heart attack.
manage your weight better.
have a lower blood cholesterol level.
lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and some cancers.
have lower blood pressure.
have stronger bones, muscles and joints and lower risk of developing osteoporosis.
lower your risk of falls.
-Posture - - Places in the spine in a neutral (resting) position.•Allows the bones to
be aligned, reduces stress and fatigue, & muscles, joints, and ligaments can work
efficiently.
-Risk of immobility - - Developmental ageAge DefinitionNutritional
StatusLifestyle choicesStressEnvironment
-Genitourinary - - - Stagnant urine leading to an increase in urinary tracts
infections leading to kidney stone formation
-Respiratory - - -Decreases all muscle strengths including the lungs. Increases
secretion (Aspiration pneumonia is a risk). Decrease ventilation capacity in
response to exercise. Respiratory depth decreases affecting ventilation. Air passage
blockage can lead to atelectasis (collapse of air sacs or alveoli)
-Integumentary System - - -External pressure leads to compressed capillaries in
the skin. Leading to tissue ischemia and eventual necrosis
-Gastrointestinal System - - -Slow peristalsis, constipation, paralytic Ileus
