Cardiac
George was a 40 year-old male that is in for his second checkup of the month. During both visits his blood pressure was 140/92. Even after waiting a little bit before retaking the blood pressure, it remained the same. This is an example of what?
Hypertension
This pulmonary disease is hyperreactive airway disease that involves bronchoconstriction, airway obstruction, and inflammation. It can be caused by allergens, pollutants, and cold air.
Asthma
This disease is caused by a local infection, allergic reaction, systemic infection, or chemical irritation. It is the inflammation of the conjunctiva.
Conjunctivitis
These sounds can be heard in the periphery of the lung fields on inspiration and expiration.
Vesicular Sounds
During this part of ventilation, the muscles relax.
Expiration
A 60 y/o caucasian male comes into the ER with the "worst" chest pain ever. He claims that his left arm hurts as well. When listening to his heart it sounds distant and you hear dysrhythmias. What is your nursing Dx?
Myocardial Infarction
A patient comes in with a productive cough and white sputum. What is your nursing Dx?
Bacterial Pneumonia
This oral issue can be a sign of cancer or infection. It can affect nutritional intake.
Oral Lesions
You are listening to a patient's lungs for their annual checkup. Your stethoscope is positioned over the middle section of their back and you listen to both inspiration and expiration. What sounds are you listening to?
Bronchovesicular Sounds
You are listening to a patient's lungs and have the stethoscope positioned over the trachea on the chest. What sounds will you hear.
Bronchial Sounds
This heart problem happens when the blood flows in the reverse direction.
Diastolic Murmurs
This is the disease where there is lung in the pleural spaces. What are the three types of this disease?
Closed, open, and tension
This is the excessive production and secretion of thyroid hormones. It can be caused by Grave's disease and familial autoimmune disease. The CMs are increased metabolism, enlargement of the thyroid gland and exopthalmos.
Hyperthyroidism
A patient in the waiting room of the ER appears to be anxious. They are slightly SOB and complain of chest pain. What is your nursing Dx?
Minor Lung Collapse
These muscles are the primary muscles for breathing.
Diaphragm and intercostal muscles
A patient comes in with obvious dilated superficial veins, edema, and redness in the legs. What is this disease?
Venous Thrombosis
This disease is the hypersecretion of mucus by goblet cells. It can be caused by smoke inhalation, air pollution, and infection. It produces a productive cough, increased mucus production, dyspnes, ronchi, cyanosis, and clubbing. What disease it is?
Bronchitis
This is an infection of the middle ear. The CMs are ear pain, fever, and decreased hearing. The tympanic membrane is inflammed, red and my be bulging.
Otitis Media
These valves are closed during systole.
Atrioventricular Valves
This pulmonary issue is cause by external pressure (could be a tumor, fluid, or air) in the pleural space, removal of air from hypoventilation, or obstruction by secretions. You will hear diminished breath sounds in the affected lobe. The SpO2 will be lowered along with femitus.
Atelectasis
This heart problem occurs with an obstruction of outflow or a structural defect. It can be caused mitral regurgitation or aortic stenosis.
Systolic Murmurs
This pulmonary disease is a medical emergency. It occurs when there is an accumulation of serous fluid in the pleural space. This is marked by fever, tachypnea, a decrease in fremitus, tracheal shift, and sharp chest pain.
Pleural Effussion
This is the decreased production of thyroid hormones. The patient may appear to be in "slow motion" and have goiter.
Hypothyroidism
These valves are closed during diastole.
Semilunar Valves
A patient in the clinic is experiencing severe respiratory distress, SOB, tachypnea, and cyanosis. What is your nursing diagnosis?
Large amount of lung collapse
