Respiratory
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What structures organs are involved in respiration? Discuss the underlying principles of respiration, including the function of the primary organs of the respiratory. | nose, mouth, pharynx, larynx and the trachea |
| What changes occur with aging that affect the respiratory system such as pneumonia and emphaysema | Alterations in connective tissue, decrease elasticity of the thorax, body water decreases and imparement of the cilia, thickening of the alveolar membrane |
| How would you know if a patient is in respiratory distress.ex, coughing and choking after eating a meal | restlessness and irritable maybe the first sighn of hypoxia, in eaderly people confusion often presents as oxygen level falls |
| discuss the common cause of hypoxia | decrease o2 of varios organs |
| Discuss the use of a pulse oximeter, In which clinicals settings and for which patients would the device most likely be used | is used for any patient thought to be at risk of hypoxia, it measures o2 saturation by determining the % of hemoglobin that is bound with os |
| what precations should the nurse take in administerin o2 to a patient in acute respiratory distress | make sure the air way is not blocked, confirm order and flow rate, monitor for hypoxia, tell patient not to get up |
| Discuss commonly used o2 delivery devices | face mask, tracheostomy collar, nasal cannula |
| When can a chest drainage tube be placed in the interpleural space | when the lung collapse |
| Discuss ways that patients can support their own respiratort care | Avoid places where the will be exposed to the flu, distance themselvrs from anyone who is coughing or sneezing and from cigareets |
| The primary organs of the respiratory system are the | lungs, bronchus and the trachea |
| The decrease amount of o2 in the blood resulting from respiratory insufficiency is called | hypoxia |
| inspiration and expiration are phases of which of the following process | Respiration |
| It is especially dangerous to cause a spark in a room where which of the following gasaes is used | oxygen |
| A sudden rush of air into the chest cavity is likely to | collapse the lungs and cause shortness of breath |
| Nasopharyngeal suctioning is designed to remove which of the following from the upper respiratory tract | accumulated secretions |
| A surgical incision into the trachea to aerate the lungs is an | tracheostomoy |
| Which of the following problemswith the airway is a common cause of respiratory insufficiency | Ostruction |
| The function of the respiratory system is to supply which of the following to the bloodstream | Oxygen |
| what are early signs of hypoxia | restlessness, irritable, confused, difficulty breathing, cynosis |
| How much oxygen are you getting out of the air | 21% |
| What is the purpose of chest draining for water and air drainage | used to drain air fluid of the pleural space and keep it from being sucked back into the chest. |
| When can a chest drainage be placed in the interpleural space | lung collapse |
| Hypoxemia | decrease amount of oxygen in the bloodstream |
| hypercapnia | increase levels of carbon dioxide |
| suctioning pressure is set between | 80 and 120mmhg |
| How long should you suction for | 10 sec |
| Respiratory arrest | heart stops due to hypoxia |
| cardiac arrest | heart stops from no blood flow blockage |
