🗑
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  
🗑
