NSG 501 EXAM 2
what is ventilation - ANSWER refers to breathing in oxygen and breathing out CO2
what is perfusion - ANSWER passage of blood through the circulatory system which promotes gas exchange
diffusion - ANSWER passage of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
what is inspiration - ANSWER the process of taking air into the lungs expiration - ANSWER the process of letting air out of the lungs
surfactant - ANSWER reduced the surface tension of the alveoli- keeps the alveoli from collapsing
atelectasis - ANSWER collapse of the alveoli
pulmonary circulation - ANSWER circulation of deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs and oxygenated blood back to the left side of the heart
what are the issues with small children mostly related to - ANSWER respiratory issues
the nursing process- planning - ANSWER - ask about patient's priorities and expectations related to cardiac and/ or respiratory disease
-establish realistic, short-term outcomes that build on larger goals that improve cardiopulmonary function
-educate the patient on the opportunities for individual, group, or telephone counseling and identifying a social support system
nursing process- assessment - ANSWER -in-depth history of a patient's normal and present cardiopulmonary function
-past impairments in circulatory or respiratory functioning
-methods that a patient uses to optimize oxygenation
-review of drug, food, and other allergies
-physical examination
-laboratory and diagnostic tests- SpO2 and EtCO2
nursing process- focused physical assessment - ANSWER inspection: skin and mucous
membrane color, level of consciousness (LOC), breathing patterns, chest wall movement, general appearance, circulation
palpation: chest, feet, legs, pulses
percussion: presence of abnormal fluid or air: diaphragmatic excursion auscultation: normal and abnormal heart and lung sounds
which pulse gives us the most data - ANSWER radial because its the furthest away from the heart
-pedal pulse is the most important in the lower extremities
what are the five areas for listening to the heart - ANSWER "all people enjoy time magazine"
"ape to man"
heart sounds - ANSWER
tests for cardiopulmonary functioning - ANSWER blood specimens
- CBC- RBCs, WBCs, Hgb, Hct, platelets, MCH,MCHC, RDW, MPV
-electrolytes- NA, K, CL, BUN, CO2, creatinine, glucose, BMP vs CMP
- radiology
- -rays, CT scans, MRI
- TB skin testing
-electrocardiogram- tests the electrical signal of the heart
-echocardiogram- uses sound from an ultrasound to see the activity of the heart
-stress test
what electrolyte has the greatest implication of cardiac function - ANSWER potassium
what are some nursing diagnoses for cardiopulmonary function - ANSWER -activity intolerance
-impaired gas exchange
- risk for aspiration
- ineffective breathing pattern
-impaired tissue perfusion
