Respiratory System
These organs have five lobes. Two on the left and three on the right.
What are the lungs?
Mycoplasma, Legionella, Staphylococcus.
What are potential pathogens for pneumonia?
Difficulty breathing with inspiratory and expiratory wheezes.
What is bronchoconstriction?
This low-molecular weight heparin is often prescribed prophylactically after surgery.
What is Lovenox?
Dry cough, horseness, fatique, bonchitis for over a month and a positive biopsy for squamous cell carcinoma.
What characterizes squamous cell lung cancer?
Upon inspiration, oxygen exchange occurs in these small air sacs.
What are the alveoli?
This mycobacterium most often infects the lungs
What is mycobacterium tuberculosis?
This inherited condition creates opportunities for poor lung compliance and resistance to disease.
What is alpha anti-trypsin (AAT) deficiency?
These laboratory tests help determine whether heparin anti-coagulation is achieved.
What is the prothrombin time (PT) and the partial prothrombin time (PTT) and international normalized ratio (INR)?
I will take all my isoniazid and rifampicin for six months.
When the nurse knows the client listened and understands TB medication teaching.
This structure contracts and flattens upon inhalation, the chest cavity enlarges, and the air is pulled into the lungs.
What is the diaphragm?
This is the most common pathogen for Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP).
What is streptococcus pneumoniae?
Poor oxygenation, clubbed fingers, a barreled chest, purse lip breathing, and trapped air in the alveoli.
What is emphysema, a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)?
Protamine Sulfate.
What is the antidote to heparin?
This nursing diagnosis is the highest priority for a patient with pneumonia.
What is ineffective air-way clearance?
During pulmonary function testing, the patient forceable exhales for one second.
What is the forced expiratory volume (FEV)?
Sometimes lung pathogens, such as streptococcus and mycoplasma, do not respond to typical antibiotic treatment.
What are drug-resistant bacteria?
These medications will help to reduce lung alveoli inflammation, but they must be given cautiously in patients with diabetes.
What are glucocorticoids?
This anti-Xa factor is used more often than Coumadin in recent years.
What is apixaban (Eliquis)?
I will elevate my leg and apply a warm compress
What is teaching self-care about deep vein thrombosis?
Vesicular sounds are soft, blowing, or rustling heard throughout the lung fields.
What are normal lung sounds?
These four viral pathogens create lung problems and can cause significant mortality.
What are the influenza viruses?
The best forced exhalation over one minute.
What is a peak flow?
Anti-Xa factor drugs such as apixaban or rivaroxaban are chosen because of this attribute.
What is needs less laboratory monitoring?
Apply pressure to venipuncture sites, adjust infusions based on PT and PPT/INR results, monitor platelets, maintain heparin on a continuous infusions.
