NU 122 Final Exam Review Speyer ALREADY
PASSED
What is the normal blood sugar - =70-100
What would be considered hyperglycemia upon a random blood sugar read - =>120
If a diabetic is sick - =Make sure they take insulin as needed and don't skip any doses
Diabetic patients are at risk for - =-Heart disease
-Retinopathy
-Slow wound healing
3 P's of Diabetes - =-Polyuria
-Polydipsia
-Polyphagia
Type 1 Diabetes - =-Occurs in young age
-Autoimmune
-Insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas are DESTROYED
-Results in NO insulin production
-Insulin is required for all patients
Type 2 Diabetes - =-Based on poor lifestyle choices
-Can be reversed if lifestyle factors are changed such as increasing exercise and eating healthier
-Pancreas produces insulin but not enough
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) - =Thickening of artery walls and narrowing or arteries of
upper and lower extremities
, What is a classic sign of PAD? - =Intermittent Claudication
PAD clinical manifestations - =-Intermittent claudication
-Paresthesia
-Shiny skin with no hair
-Diminished or absent pulses in the legs
-Pain at rest *Aggravated by leg elevation*
What position should patients with PAD be in - =Legs DOWN
What type of clothing should patients with PAD wear - =Non restrictive/not tight
If a patient has blood clots what are you going to treat them with - =Blood thinners (Statins)
Left sided heart failure (Think Left Lung, pulmonary) - =-Blood backs up into LA
-Increased pulmonary hydrostatic pressure causes fluid leakage from the pulmonary capillary
bed into the interstitium and then the alveoli -This results in pulmonary congestion and edema
(pink/blood tinged sputum)
Left sided heart failure is sub classified into three groups - =-HFrEF(Systolic HF)
-HFpEF(Diastolic HF)
-or a combination of the two
HFrEF(Systolic HF) - =-Inability to pump blood effectively
-Decreased LV ejection fraction (LVEF)
Caused by
-Impaired contractile function
