Rasmussen - MDC III -
Exam 2
1. Therapeutic Communication Qs...: never confirm/deny anything "tell me more about
it"
2. What precautions are we using for tuberculosis?
(SATA?): *airborne*
- N95
- negative pressure room
3. Medications to treat tuberculosis: *antimicrobials*
- isoniazid,
- rifampin
- pyrazinamide
- ethambutol
**they will have to take these "long-term" (6-9 mo.)**
4. Patient Education: *Long-term antibiotics*
, Rasmussen - MDC III -
Exam 2
(SATA?): - no ETOH
- medication compliance - stick with the doses, continue all the way through
- f/u with doctor appointments
5. How do you diagnose tuberculosis?: - sputum culture
**PPD test is NOT for diagnosing, it does NOT mean active exposure**
6. What do antimicrobials do to the body? And what patient education goes along with that?
(SATA?): *hepatotoxic*
- no ETOH
- no drugs
- eat a diet with quality protein; iron; vitamins A, B, C, and E; and abundant fresh produce
- no other use of hepatotoxic medications
7. is a chronic intermittent airway obstruction caused by inflammation of the airway
tissues that results in **bronchoconstriction**
, Rasmussen - MDC III -
Exam 2
ªIntermittent and **reversible** airflow obstruction affecting airways only,
**not alveoli**: asthma
8. I think this is about *status asthmaticus*:
A patient comes in with asthma...you listen to their lungs and they have lung sounds...then you lose
lung sounds...what does that mean? What do we do next?: complete airway obstruction
intubation/tracheotomy..............keep that airway patent - priority!
9. What can exacerbate asthma?
"A good education question...avoid triggers!"
(SATA?): ªpollution ªdust
ªsmoke ªfire
places
ªpet dander ªhousehold
chemicals ªbacteria
ªviruses
