Hungry Hungry Hippo
My usefulness for tube feedings is limited but I can be used for short term feedings
Large bore or NG tube
I am a progressive, degenerative disorder involving upper/lower motor neurons. My muscle strength gets progressively worse, eventual leading to paralysis (Diaphragm muscle seizes = respiratory failure) No change in mental status happens and I am common in men 40-60 years. Death commonly occurs in 3-5 years after my diagnosis
ALS
I can be caused by any obstructive breathing disorder, head trauma, CNS depressants (opioid or alcohol overdose), and post- op patients can develop me
Respiratory Acidosis
What are the two types of tumors called?
Benign and malignant neoplasm
I am the most common pathological disease in older men, I compress the urethra & surrounding bladder causing difficulty urinating which puts the patient at high risk for bladder infections, I am also non- cancerous
BPH
For tube feedings longer than 4 weeks I am the preferred method, I can be inserted directly into the stomach or jejunum
G Tube (Gastrostomy) or J Tube (Jejunostomy)
In this type of MS relapses are few and far in between and patients don't end up in hospital as much but symptoms are way worse. Patients receive BETA 1B Interferon during this period.
Secondary Progressive
Signs and symptoms of me are; Dizziness, panic, Tetany, Arrythmias, Tachycardia, N/V, seizures, hypokalemia, and numbness and tingling
Respiratory Alkalosis
I am the progression of abnormal cells that grow beyond their usual boundaries and then invade adjoining parts of the body and spread to other organs
metastasis
I occur in men ages 18-35; monthly self exams for nodules, lumps, and bumps should be reported, if diagnosed I should discuss fertility, typically an orchidectomy is the procedure of choice if metastasis has NOT occurred.
Testicular Cancer
How long should a continuous feeding tube be paused after medication administration
30 mins
There is no cure for me and treatment is aimed at helping with symptoms and maintaining independence, deep Brain Stimulation MAY work if pt still has working dopamine receptors
Parkinsons
Renal failure is a common cause of me
Metabolic Acidosis
I am the use of chemicals as a systemic therapy for cancer, my goal is to reduce the # of malignant cells, I am used for most solid tumors and hematologic cancers, I can be administered, PO, IM, IV, Intracavitary, Intrathecal, Intraarterial, Topical, or implanted port
Chemotherapy
I am a 3 way catheter system (one to flush, one to drain, and one to inflate the balloon inside) and am inserted after a TURP
Continuous bladder irrigation
Feelings of fullness, nausea, cramping, dizziness, diaphoresis, and diarrhea are symptoms of what syndrome associated with tube feedings
dumping syndrome
I am an acute exacerbation of muscle weakness triggered by infection, surgery, emotional stress, or drug overdose.
Myasthenia Gravis Crisis
During compensation of this acid/base imbalance the Kidneys excrete H+ and retain HCO3
Respiratory Acidosis
Previously known as bone marrow transplant, I can cure or place a patient in remission, I am harvested for transplant from Bone marrow, Peripheral blood, Umbilical cord blood and complications of me are infection/rejection, what is my name?
Hematopoietic stem cells transplantation
I typically hit men over the age of 50, a digital rectal exam is how to screen for me, along with a PSA lab, I will get biopsied if my PSA is >4.0, I metastasize to bone, surgical removal and radiation is treatment of choice, chemo is a last ditch effort, what am I?
Prostate Cancer
250mL and SLOW infusion rate
An MRI will show plaque lesions in my brain
MS
List 3 causes of Metabolic Alkalosis
VOMITING, Diuretics (bicarb lost in urine), Antacids, Gastric suction, Pyloric stenosis, Loss of potassium (thiazides, furosemides), ↑ACTH secretion (hyperaldosteronism and Cushing’s syndrome), cystic fibrosis.
I am a local treatment modality, one of the oldest nonsurgical treatments, 50% of all CA patients will receive me, normal tissues recover from me, cancer cells are more likely to be permanently damaged by me, I have two types; internal and external
Radiation
I am the only type of solution you should use for continuous bladder irrigation
Sterile N/S
