🗑
pyelonephritsis   can cause - tissue inflammation, tubular cell necrosis and possible abcess formations. usually cause by escherichia coli (fecalis)  
🗑
fever can cause   dehydration - due to excessive fluid loss - diaphoresis  
🗑
fever can also   increase metabolsim and the demand for O2  
🗑

🗑
risk factors for aspiration include   oropharyngeal secretion, including alcoholics, anetsthetized individuas, those with brain injury, with drug over-dose, and stoke victims  
🗑
when feeding (at risk for aspiration patient)   raise HOB and position client on his or her side, not on the back!!!!  
🗑
bronchial breath sounds   are heard over area of density ot onsolidation  
🗑
sound waves are   easily transmitted over consolidated tissue  
🗑
Hydration inables   liquefication of mucus trapped in bronchioles and alveoli, and faciliate expectoration  
🗑
hydration is essential   for clients experienceing fever  
🗑
300 to 400 ml of fluid is lost daily due to   through the lungs through evaporation  
🗑

🗑
pneumonia prevention in older adults inclue   avoiding sources of infection and indoor pollutants = dust, smoke, aerosols - no cig smoking!!!!!!  
🗑
the primary cause of COPD   exposure to Tabacco Smoke (IN THE USA)  
🗑
compensation occurs in time (Chronic Lung Dis)   altering ABG's  
🗑
As COPD worsens   O2 in the blood decreases - hypoxemia CO2 in the blood increases - hypercarbia  
🗑
COPD causes   Chronic Respiratory Acidosis(increase in PaCO2) which in turn creates Metabolic Aldalosis (increased blood Bicarbonate)  
🗑
not all COPD patients are CO2 retainers   because (even with hypoxia) CO2 diffues more easily across lung membanes than O2  
🗑
in Advance Emphysema (alveoli are effected)   HYPERCARBIA is a problem  
🗑
in Bronchitis   airways are affected  
🗑
with COPD clients is is important to obtain   BASELINE data  
🗑
With productive Cough and comfort   use semi-Fowler's or high Fowler's position to lessen pressure on diaphragm (from abdominal organs)  
🗑
Gastric distentions,a major problem/CAL, because   it elevated the diaphragm which inhibits full lung expansion  
🗑
Adult PH   7.35 - 7.45  
🗑
Adult Pco2   35 to 45 mm Hg  
🗑
Adult Po2   80 to 100 mm HG  
🗑
Adults Hco3   21 to 28 mEq/L  
🗑
Emphysema =   "Pink" puffers, barrell chest,use of assesory muscles (client work harder)  
🗑
Chromic Bronchitis   "blue" bloaters, insufficent O2, generalized cyanosis, often right-sided heart failure(cor Pullmonale)  
🗑
Lack of Arterial Oxygenation leads to   cyanosis and slow capillary refill(>3 sec)  
🗑
Chronic lack of O2 leads to   clubbing of the fingernails, and a late sign is clubbing of the FINGERS!  
🗑
COPD patients -   do not recieve more than 1-2L of O2/min !!!  
🗑
COPD client's drive to breath is   bases on hypoxia (not hypercapnia) too much O2 - client stops breathing !!!!  
🗑
healthy patients drive to breath is   bases on hypercapnia (too much CO2)  
🗑
look, listen, if breath sounds are clear, but patient is cyanotic oe lethargic   oxygenation is not occuring!!!!!!  
🗑
Key to respiratory status is   assement of breath sounds as well as visualization  
🗑
breath sound are better discribed (not named)   crackles,wheezes,high-pitched whistling sounds  
🗑
o2 must buble through some type of water-humidification   if given at >4L min or Delivered DIRECTLY to the trachea  
🗑
o2 given at 1 - 4 L or by mask/nasal prongs   DOES NOT need humidificaton - oropharynx and nasal pharynx provide enought  
🗑
trachea care involves cleaning   inner cannula, suctioning, & applying clean dressing  
🗑
air entering the lungs is humidified naturally   but is gone for the client who has had a laryngectomy  
🗑
IF AIR IS NOT HUMIDIFIED BEFOR ENTERING THE LUNGS -   secretions tend to thicken and become crusty  
🗑
laryngectomy tube has a larger lumen and is shorter than   the tracheostomy tube  
🗑
observe for signs of bleeding or occlusion   which are greatest 24 hours postoperative  
🗑
teach the patient who fears choking the glottal stop technique -   take a deep breath, momentraliy occlude the tracheostomy tube, cough and simultaneously remove the finger (from the tube)  
🗑
A positive TB test is exhibited by   induration of 10 mm or more, 48 hoursa the skin test  
🗑
Anyone who has a bacillus Calamette-Guerin (BCG)   will test positive for TB, and must be evaluated with a chest X-ray  
🗑
TB drug therapy usually last   9 month or longer  
🗑
TB medications must be taken as prescribed because or t   skipping doses or terminating therapy could result in a public health hazzard!!!  
🗑
if a chest tube becomes disconnected   do not clap, but immediately place the end of the tube in sterile saline water (until new system can be connected)  
🗑
If chest tube is accidentally removed from patient   the nurse should apply pressure immedicately with an occlusive dressing and notify the health care provider  
🗑

🗑
Four common symptoms pneumonia the nurst might note with physical exam.   Tachypnea, fever with chills, productive cough, bronchial breath sounds  
🗑
Four (4) Nursing interventions for assisting the client to cough productively   encourage Deep Breathing, increase fluids to 3L/day, use humidifier to loosen secretions, suction airyway to stimulate coughing  
🗑
Symptoms of Pnuemonia found in Older Adults -   Confussion, Lethargy, anorexia, rapid respiratory rate.  
🗑
what is the O2 flow rate for patients with COPD   between 1 - 2L per nasual cannula, (COPD client has hypoxia drive to breath)  
🗑
How does the Nurse prevent Hypoxis during suctioning?   deliver O2 at 100% before and after suctioning endotrachea  
🗑
What are the three (3) major nursing intervention with Mechanical Ventilation   Monitor respiratory status & scure connections Establish a communication mechanism/client keep airway clear with suctioning & coughing  
🗑
what physcial findings if the nurse expected to see with Emphysema   Barrel Chest, Dry or productive cough, decreased breath sounds, dyspnes, crackles in lungs  
🗑
Most common risk factor associated with lung cancer   SMOKING  
🗑
what are pre-operative nursing intervention (care) for client undergoing laryngectomy   involve family and client in manipulating tracheostomy equip b/4 swurgery, plan acceptable communication, refere to speech therapist, discuss rehabilitation therapy  
🗑
What are (5) five nursing interventions after chest tube insertion   maintain dry occlusive dressing; monitor VS; encourage client to breath deeply; monitor fluid drainage, mark fluid  
🗑
sulfonamides - trimethoprim, bactrim,septra   use sun protection measures  
🗑
quinolones - ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, ofloxacin....   swallow whole, do not crush; take pulse - cardiac dysrhythmias, keep out of sum
