Pathophysio Test 1

Question
Answer
factors affect stress response   hardiness, sense of coherence, resilience, attitude  
🗑
GAS- General adaptation syndrome   physical response to stress  
🗑
GAS stages   1. alarm reaction 2. resistance 3. exhaustion  
🗑
alarm reaction   perception of stressor, fight or flight, decreased resistance  
🗑
resistance   adaption or advance to exhaustion  
🗑
exhaustion   some signs of alarm again, reversed by external sources  
🗑
stress affects three systems:   nervous, endocrine & immune  
🗑
nociception   receptive nerve endings that respond to harmful stimuli, transmit the pain, communicates tissue damage to the CNS  
🗑
nociception processes   transduction, transmission, perception, modulation  
🗑
transduction   conversion of mechanical stimulus into a neural action potential, inflammation increases likelihood of transduction  
🗑
transmission   movement of pain from site of transduction to brain  
🗑
perception   pain is recognized and responded to  
🗑
modulation   pathways that exert inhibitory effects on transmission of pain, at periphery, spinal cord, brain stem, cerebral cortex  
🗑
sympathetic nervous system activation   increased heart rate, increased respiratory rate, increased blood pressure  
🗑
Three categories of medications   nonopioid, opioid, adjuvant  
🗑
analgesic ceiling   increasing dose above upper limit produces no greater pain relief  
🗑
parenteral routes   intramuscular, subcutaneous, intravenous  
🗑
cortisol   increase glucose, inhibit inflammatory, immunodepresant, increase cardiac, increase oxygen consumption  
🗑
Stress- Nervous: Cerebral cortex   plans course of action  
🗑
Stress- Nervous: Limbic   mediator of emotions & behavior that ensure survival  
🗑
Stress- Nervous: Hypothalamus   regulates sympathetic & parasympathetic connection between nervous & endocrine  
🗑
acute pain   sympathetic: increased heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure  
🗑
chronic pain   behavioral: decreased movement, fatigue, withdrawal from others  
🗑
Visceral pain   obstruction, internal organs  
🗑
Somatic pain   aching, localized, bone, joint, muscle, skin  
🗑
Neuralpathic pain   damage to peripheral or cns, disregulation of nervous system, abnormal processing of stimuli  
🗑
Renal failure   dont give patient potassium  
🗑
hyperalkemia   high potassium, more than 5.1, muscle weakness, tingling, low blood pressure, bowel sounds  
🗑
hyperalkemia treatment   potassium excreting diuretics, rapid IV of dextrose & insulin, if blood transfusion use fresh blood  
🗑
hypoalkemia   low potassium, under 3.5, weakness, leg & abdomen cramps, dizzy when stand  
🗑
hypoalkemia treatment   administer potassium  
🗑
Isotonic solutions in body   0.9 Saline, lactated ringers, 5% dextrose in water, 5% dextrose in 0.225% saline  
🗑
blood ph   7.35- 7.45  
🗑
blood pco2   35-45 mmHg  
🗑
blood hco3   22-27 mEq/L  
🗑
blood po2   80-100 mmHg  
🗑
Stress & immune function   decreased natural killer cells, decreased cytokines, decreased making lymphocytes  
🗑
adrenal glands & aldosterone   aid in controlling extracellular fluid volume by regulating the amount of sodium reabsorbed by the kidneys  
🗑
antidiuretic hormone   regulates osmotic pressure of extracellular fluid by regulating the amount of water reabsorbed by the kidney  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
