Vet 1100 midterm
Vet Technology 1100 Midterm Review
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is SOAP | It is the primary means of communication regarding the animals condition and response to tx |
| What are the 4 steps of a SOAP | Subjective Objective Assessment Plan |
| What information would be considered subjective? Examples? | Subjective information anything observable but NOT measurable; anything 'subject' to opinion. Ex) pain level, urine amt/color, appetite level, degree of edema |
| What information would be considered objective? Examples? | Objective information is anything that can be measured or quantified. Ex) Temp, BP, HR, resp, wound size (measured with a ruler), lab results |
| What are the steps of the Veterinary Technician Practice Model? (hint: 4) | 1. Gather Data 2. Identify & Prioritize tech evaluation 3. Develop Care Plan and Implement Interventions 4. Evaluate Results |
| Explain step one (gather data) of the Vet Tech Practice Model | Gather information from exams by RVT's and DVM's, lab results, medical records, and owner observations. This data is then divided into two separate categories; either subjective or objective. |
| ALL data (including WNL's) should be recorded...why? | This indicates that a thorough exam was done, can serve as a base line (for future reference or as a comparison if other problems develop) |
| Explain step two (Ident. & Prioritize tech evaluations) of the Vet Tech Practice Model | Based on the data obtained from step one; critical thinking skills; EX) patient is brought in with cyanosis, altered mentation, and cardiopulomnary edema - the tech needs to intervene and identify the highest priority: GIVE OXYGEN |
| List the 'Needs Ladder' from highest to lowest priority | Oxygen Chronic/acute pain (severe) Hydration Elimination Nutrition Chronic/acute pain Activity Utility ((OCHE N C A U)) |
| Why is oxygen the #1 priority? | Because the lack of O2 will kill patient the quickest; patient needs unobstructed airway, adequate ventilation, resp, and circulation (ABC's) to live |
| Example of #2) Critical Safety/Acute Pain (severe) | Acute pain can be so severe, it can have negative impacts on other physiological problems |
| Hydration is important because.. | Need adequate H2O to maintain life, dehydration negatively impacts almost every system (renal, cardio, neuro), severe dehydration can kill patient in a short period of time |
| Elimination is important because.. | All need to excrete waste, inadequate urine production leads to toxin buildup (may lead to bladder rupture), inadequate feces may lead to intestinal blockage, colic, death |
| Nutrition.. | Necessary for all body processes, esp important for injured/sick animals to ensure proper healing time |
| Chronic or acute pain (moderate)... | Impacts patient's well-being/usefulness to owner, negatively impact behavior/performance |
| Activity... | Adequate activity needed to maintain muscle mass; prevent weight gain, joint stiffness, pressure ulcers; maintain psychological balance |
| Utility... | Companion dogs become aggressive; repro function in breeding animal |
| A physical exam should consist of what types of information? | Subjective and objective |
| What are the steps of performing a physical exam? | Signalment, history, weight/BCS, vitals, auscultate thoracic cavity, examine "nose to tail", palpate abdomen, RECORD ALL FINDINGS |
| Define negative punishment, give an example | Definition: A decrease in the frequency of a behavior when a pleasant stimulus is removed. EX) Puppy playing with owner and starts to nip. Owner stops playing and the puppy stops nipping. |
| Define positive punishment, give an example | Definition: Adding something adverse as a consequence of a behavior, resulting in a decrease of that behavior. EX) Dog jumps on a person, person knees the dog in the chest. (ineffective & poorly understood, but it teaches the animal only what not to do) |
| Define response substitution, give an example | definition:Teaching a desired behavior in a situation in which an undesired behavior tends to occur.EX)puppy is chewing on a sock,owner removes sock and replaces it with an appropriate toy to chew on.Channeling motivation towards an acceptable behavior |
| What are questions to ask someone with a potential behavior problem | Where it happened, who was there, what exactly happened, why it happened, when, how often, -try to determine if there was a trigger-, rule out medical causes first |
| Define blood pressure | the measured tension (in mmHG)exerted by blood on the arterial walls |
| D- hypertension, hypotension | hyper-increased, hypo-decreased blood pressure |
| Normal systolic blood pressure | 100-160 mm Hg |
| Normal diastolic blood pressure | 60-100 mm Hg |
| Mean blood pressure | 80-120 mm Hg |
| A pulse oximeter measures... | the percentage of hemoglobin that is saturated with oxygen (oxyhemoglobin) |
| Define Ventricular Fibrillation | contraction w/in small muscle bundles w/in ventricles - causes irregular, ineffective ventricular contractions, indicates impending cardiac arrest |
| What does a V-fib look like on an EKG? | Appears as irregular undulating line, with complete absence of recognizable QRS complexes |
| define arrhythmia | any pattern of electrical activity that differs from the healthy awake animal |
| Where do the white, red, green, and black cuffs go (EKG monitoring) | White-Right front, Green-Right rear, Black-Left front, Red-Left rear |
| define heart block | electrical impulse that causes the heart to beat is not being transmitted efficiently through the heart |
| 1st degree heart block | prolonged interval b/t P wave and QRS complex |
| 2nd degree heart block | some P waves are not followed by QRS complex |
| 3rd degree heart block | atrial and venticular contractions occur independently; P waves occur in one pattern and QRS complexes occur as completely different patters |
| Premature ventricular contractions | ineffective and uncoordinated ventricular contractions that occur as bizarre, wide QRS complexes on the EKG tracing |
| define capnography | method to determine the amount of CO2 in the air that is exhaled by the patient |
| define hypercapnia, hypocapnia |
