Pathophysiology
This theory suggests pain modulation occurs at the substantia gelatinosa in the dorsal horn.
What is Gate Control Theory
This opioid produces a toxic metabolite called normeperidine.
What is Meperidine (Demerol)?
Is the measurement of body height weight and body proportion
What is anthropometric method?
Consists of 78 words that describe pain. A person rates their own pain by marking the words that most closely match up to their feelings. Some examples of the words used are tugging, terrifying, cold, sharp, and wretched.
What is McGill Pain Questionnaire?
Give the external factors associated with nutritional status
External environmental factors like: food safety, cultural, social and economic circumstances
The "relay station" of the brain that sends pain signals to the somatosensory cortex and limbic system.
What is the Thalamus?
This describes a dose beyond which there is no improvement in analgesic effect.
What is Ceiling Effect?
This nutritional assessment method deals with individual measurement of objective data, summarized as ABCD.
What is the Direct Method?
uses battery operated unit with electrodes applied to the skin to produce tingling, vibrating, or buzzing sensation in the area of pain
What is Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)?
Community indices that reflect the community nutritional status/needs
Ecological variables including agricultural crop production
Economic factors household income per capita income
Cultural and social habits
Vital statistics morbility and mortality
The stage where noxious stimuli are converted into electrical activity.
What is Transduction
Diazepam and Midazolam are in this drug class, used for anxiety or muscle spasms.
What are Benzodiazepines?
What does the "B" in ABCD nutritional assessment stand for?
What is Biochemical?
Sudden, sharp pain that is short in duration
What is
Acute Pain?
Deals with the individual and measure objective data in direct method of nutritional assessment
Anthropometric
Biochemical
Clinical
Dietary
The process of releasing endogenous opioids like endorphins to inhibit pain impulses is known as
What is Modulation?
A lesion is made in the dorsal root to destroy neuronal dysfunction and reduce nociceptive input
What is Rhizotomy?
This screening tool is specifically designed for older adults in long-term care.
What is the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA)?
Pain that lasts more than 3 months and may be described as disabling.
What is
Chronic Pain?
Five diff dietary methods
24 dietary recall
food frequency questionnaire
dietary history since early life
food daily technique
observed food consumption
These fibers carry information about touch, pressure, and vibration, helping to "close the gate".
What are A-beta (large-diameter) fibers?
Are classes of medications that may potentiate the effects of opioids or nonopioids
What is Analgesic Adjuvants?
This method uses community indices like agricultural production and household income to assess nutritional status
What is the Indirect Method?
Using two or three types of agents simultaneously can maximize pain relief while minimizing the potentially toxic effects of any one agent
What is Balanced Analgesia?
Types of nutritional screening tools
Malnutritionon Screening Tools (MST): adult acute
Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA): older adult long-term care
