what is the normal range for adult respirations - ANSWER---12-20
apnea - ANSWER---absence of breathing
dyspnea - ANSWER---difficulty breathing
orthopnea - ANSWER---difficulty breathing when lying down
rhonchi - ANSWER---low-pitched gurgling caused by secretions in large airways; can
often clear with coughing
crackles - ANSWER---discontinuous popping sounds heard over inspiration; high-
pitched popping or low-pitched bubbling sounds caused by fluid in alveoli
stridor - ANSWER---strained, high-pitched sound heard on inspiration when an
individual experiences respiratory distress or has an obstructed airway
stertor - ANSWER---Labored breathing that produces a snoring sound
factors that affect respirations - ANSWER---exercise, pain, stress, smoking, fever,
hemoglobin, disease, meds, position, neurological injury

GCU
signs of hypoxia - ANSWER---cyanosis, restlessness, apprehension, confusion,
dizziness, fatigue, decreased level of consciousness, tachycardia, and BP changes
what is the normal range for adult O2 saturation - ANSWER---95% or more
factors that affect oxygen saturation - ANSWER---anxiety, infection, shock, hypoxia,
drugs, acid-base imbalance, disease
what is something to consider about oxygen saturation levels in older adults with
disease - ANSWER---they may have a lower oxygen saturation level and may require
supplemental oxygen
disease definition - ANSWER---Infection is the invasion of a susceptible host by
pathogens or microorganisms. Infection will develop if the Chain of Infection stays
intact. This infection will ultimately result in disease.
chain of infection - ANSWER----infectious agent/pathogen
-reservoir: place where microorganism survives, multiplies, and waits to be
transferred to a susceptible host.
-portal of exit
-mode of transmission
-susceptible host
acute disease - ANSWER---fast onset, severe/abrupt symptoms, reversible

HAI - ANSWER---an infection that develops in a person cared for in any setting where
health care in given. the infection is related to receiving health care
iatrogenic HAI - ANSWER---from a procedure
exogenous HAI - ANSWER---from microorganisms outside the individual (Salmonella)
endogenous HAI - ANSWER---when patient's normal flora becomes altered (C.diff)
body's response to stress - ANSWER---Basal metabolic rate increases as the body
uses energy stores. Adrenocorticotropic hormone increases serum glucose levels and
decreases anti-inflammatory responses. If this lasts a while, it can cause decreased
resistance to infection.
inflammation - ANSWER---protective vascular and cellular reaction to eliminate
pathogens and necrotic tissues.
serous exudate - ANSWER---Watery exudate: indicates early inflammation
sanguinous exudate - ANSWER---bloody
