Terms in this set (271)
Ventilation - RR, VT, BS, chest. movement, PaCO2,
EtCO2 Oxygenation - HR, Skin Color, Sensorium,
4 life functions (in order) &
assessment for them
PaO2, SpO2 Circulation - HR & strength, CO
Perfusion - BP, sensorium, temp, urine output, hemodynamics
Tobacco use, smoking status # packs per day X # of years smoked = pack years
Inspection
Palpation
Pysical inspection (IPPA)
Percussion
Auscaltation
Normal urine output 40mL/hr = 1L/day
Sensible water loss reasons urine, vomiting
Insensible water loss Lungs, skin
Weight gain, electrolyte imbalance, increased hemodynamic
Affects of intake exceeding output
pressures, decreased lung cst
Normal CVP (central venous 2-6 mmHg
pressure)
Decreased CVP & indications < 2 mmHg = hypovolemia = fluid therapy
Increased CVP & indications > 6 mmHg = diuretics (furosemide aka Lasix)
Orientation x3 Time, Place, Person
Orthopnea is: difficulty breathing while lying down (CHF)
, Grade I: unusual
exertion Grade II: up
Dyspnea grades hills or stairs
Grade III: walking at normal
speed Grade IV: slowly, walking
short distance Grade V: at rest,
shaving, dressing, etc.
Proper interviewing techniques Open-ended questions
process of influencing the patient's behavior to effect changes
Patient education
in knowledge, attitudes, & skills needed to maintain &
improve health
begins with an assessment of the patient's & family's learning
Effective education
needs to determine what learning needs to occur & how the
learning can best occur.
Peripheral edema causes, locations CHF, renal failure; arms & ankles
Acites accumulation of fluid in the abdomen, generally caused by liver failure
When angle of the nail bed & skin increases; chronic hypoxemia
Clubbing definition; causes
caused by COPD, CHF, CF, pulmonary diseases
Cap refill Color should return within 3 seconds
jugular venous
JVD distention CHF (left-
sided heart failure)
On exhalation in patients with air trapping (decrease venous return)
profuse sweating
heart failure (diuretics, positive
Diaphoretic inotropics) fever, infection
(antibiotics)
anxiety, nervousness
(sedatives) TB
(antitubercular drugs)
Erythema redness of the skin (flushed, cap congestion, inflammation, infection)
Cyanosis (definition) 5g decrease in hemoglobin
Pectus carinatum forward protrusion of the sternum
Pectus excavatum depression of part or all of the sternum
Kyphosis (dowager's hump) convex curvature of the spine (lean forward)
Scoliosis a lateral or side-to-side curvature of the spine
combination of kyphosis & scolisis
Kyphoscoliosis
restrictive lung pattern (reduced lung volumes)
