PN 2003 - MIDTERM EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH
COMPLETE VERIFIED CORRECT SOLUTIONS
causes of COPD
smoking, occupational chemicals/dust, infections, heredity and aging
COPD symptoms
decreased lung elasticity, activity of cilia, cough reflex, respiratory drive; lower
respiratory muscle strength and endurance, oxygen uptake
age-related changes on respiratory health
decreased lung elasticity, activity of cilia, cough reflex, respiratory drive; lower
respiratory muscle strength and endurance, oxygen uptake
respiratory conditions related to aging
COPD, Pneumonia, influenza, lung cancer, lung abcess
Pneumonia- Symptoms
- Fever - Rapid Pulse Rate - SOB - Chest pain that increases with deep inspiration -
Productive cough, yellowy/green, may have foul odor
What would you see in an Xray of a PT with Pnemonia?
white spots in the lungs called infiltrates
What would you hear in a PT with Pneumonia
scattered crackles on inspirations. (Sounds like wind)
What is happening in the aging body that makes a person more susceptible to
Pneumonia
,Bronchial pneumonia - common among older adults, one of leading causes of
death
-High prevalence of respiratory disease that produces mucous formation
- lowered resistance to infection
- more like to aspiratory b.c of reduced sensitivity of pharygeal reflexes
- poor chest explansion and more shallow breathing due to age related changes to the
repiriatory system
- high incidence of conditions that reduce mobility
- greater likelihood for older adults to be hospitalized where they develop nosocomial
pneumonia
Is an adventitious breath sounds good or bad?
BAD
Is wheezing an adventitious breath sound?
Yes, Wheezing = Bad!
When would you hear crackles in breath sounds?
Scattered crackles when listening to lungs during inspiration
5 types of pneumonia
community-acquired, hospital acquired, fungal, aspiration, opportunistic
Pneumonia is a...
-Lower respiratory infection
-Fluid build up in lower respiratory track
osteoarthritis
, degenerative joint disease in which there is progressive deterioration and abrasion of
joint cartilage & with formation of new bone at the joint surfaces
osteoporosis
bone condition characterized by low bone density an porous bone
ABCDs for detecting unhealthy moles
Asymmetry, Border Irregularity, Color, Diameter
why do people lose height when they age?
vertebrae/vertebrae discs become thinner, bad posture (kyphosis), compression
fracture due to osteoperosis
2 conditions that are not age related
1. pleural effusion 2. sudden onset incontinence (condition related, UTI in older adults)
what area of the ear is affected with gradual hearing impairment?
inner ear (hair on the area of corti)
what age-related changes happen to the heart
left ventricle becomes thicker which decreases the size of the heart chamber,
myocardium becomes weaker with age therefore needs to pump faster
what age-related changes influence nocturia
shrinking bladder, less volume of urine required to trigger stretch receptors
age-related circulatory issues
venous insufficiency, bony prominences cutting off circulation, lack of exercise
Age related changes of the heart...
-Atherosclerotic Plaque
-Ischemic tissue
