Q

why are lungs subdivide into lobes

alveoli are responsible for

A

lungs subdivided in lobes- right-3, left -2 ,so that if one is damges lungs cans till work

Alveoili are responsible for air supply.the air sacs fill up and passes through alveolar walls for co2 and o2 gas exchange

Q

art of reparation

A

c02 travels from blood into alveolar cells and then exhaled

02 travels from alveolar cells into blood and is circulated into tissues

Q

why is air pressure necessary

A

necessary to maintain expanded lungs

Inhalation- airflow into lungs -diaphragm contracts downwards

Exhalation- airflow out of lungs-diaphragm relaxes upward and intercostal spaces relax, reduces space forces air out

Q

how does 02,co2 and hydrogen ion work

Q

how does airway resistance

lung compliance

elsacticty

A

as resistance increases, gas flow decreases.

Compliance is the distenbiality and is reliant in the lungs .

Decrease elasticity impairs respirations (emphysema)

106
Q

tuberculosis preventaiton

A

Public health education

Best prevention: Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment to achieve cure

airborne precations, family screening , medications, follow up sputum testing, nutritional needs

107
Q

vaccines tb

A

BCG Vaccine- infants where TB in prevalent

108
Q

asthma

characteristic by

A

Reactive disorder; chronic inflammatory disorder of airway

wheezing, breathlessness , chest tightness and coughing

109
Q

patio asthma

A

Airways are in constant state of inflammation; triggers worsen inflammatory state

110
Q

triggers asthma

A

allergens

repository infections

excercise

emotional upsets

inhaled irratents

111
Q

disgnosis asthma

A

Pulmonary Function Test (PFT):evaluate degree of airway obstructions

Skin Testing: specific allergens

ABGs: oxygenations

Challenge Testing: determain asthma by seeing airays hypersentivities

112
Q

disease monitoring asthma and risk factors

A

Peak Flow Meter/Rate: Used for newly diagnosed, monitoring medication response

Recording daily, can help identify early changes treatment, seek medical attention

allergies/genetics

113
Q

manifestations asthma

complicaitons

A

chest tightness, cough, dyspnea, wheezing, tachypnea, tachycardia, anxiety, and apprehension—

w.out treatment, resp failure, hypoxmia, hypercapnia and acidosis

114
Q

asthma preventive measures

A

avoid triggers,

early treatment

115
Q

long term asthma meds

A

Long-acting bronchodilators

Anti-inflammatory agents

Leukotriene Modifiers

116
Q

quick relief meds asthma

A

Rapid
acting bronchodilators

Anticholinergic drugs

Methylxanthines

117
Q

Nursing Diagnosis & Priorities in Care
asthma

A

Airway

Ineffective breathing
pattern

Anxiety

Education of therapeutic regimenheart racing and jittery, mouth rnising

117
Q

inhaler

A

w/soacer—,check dose coutner, prime new inhaler by shaking 10 times and spray 2-4 times, shake inhaler ,tap cp off , clean spacer and puit in inhaler to sopacer, remove cap. Brethe out. Hold inhgaler and tilt head back, breath in while spraying meciation. Keep lips closed on spacer, hold breth for 10 seconds-rins mputh and spit out,store in cool dry space

118
Q

copd

A

Narrow airways, resistance to airflow increased, expiration difficult

Smoking greatest risk factor

Emphysema & Chronic Bronchitis fall into this category

118
Q

copd manifestations

A

Airway limitations

Dyspnea

Barrel chest- air trapping; hyperinflation; @ risk for high Co2 levels

Clubbing of fingers and toes- chronic hypoxemia

Tripod position for most effective breathing
Pursed lip breathing

119
Q

copd diagnosis

A

PFTs,
ventilation/perfusion scan,

ABG’s

pulse ox

chest ray

120
Q

treatment/goals copd

A

Immunization

Smoking cessation

Oxygen- fyi at risk for increased carbon dioxide levels

Clearing secretions fluids & C&DB activities/exercises

Pulmonary rehab- lifestyle modification

121
Q

meds copd

A

Bronchodilators (albuterol); will help decrease constriction and improve SpO2; followed by steroid inhaler-reduce air trapping,promote air flow

Aminophylline- CNS Simulant; produce bronchodilation
must watch for toxicity increased resletness and agitation

Plan for medication administration for most benefit –before eat

Ling term oxygen thereapy,potential tranplatation

122
Q

copd nursing care

resp stauts/nutrution/coping/smoking

A

Asses resp status every 1-2 hrs,report chages in 02 satuarion,mintor labs,weigh daily,high fluids, fowelrs position, coughing and db every 2 hours, provide tiisues and bag for sputuim, rep therapist, suctioning, provide supplemental oxygen /

/promote blanced nutrition,observing stauts,monitor labs,cosult diatition,oserve intake,place in high fowlers for meals,mouth acer prior ro meals,//

/family coping//

smoking cessation

123
Q

copd priotires

A

Support of physical & psychologic responses
Ineffective airway
Nutrition

124
Q

cystic fibrosis

A

Excessive gland secretion

Excessive mucous production

impared ability to clear secretions

pancreatin enxyme disease to impair digestion

Impaired digestion

High levels of sodium and chloride in sweat

125
Q

cystic fibrosis manifestations

A

club fingers and toes dt hypoxemia,

increased fluid volume and abdomen distention,

distended neck veins,

edema

ab pain

and excess fat in stool

126
Q

diagnosis cystic fibrosis

A

analysis of chloride level in sweat, overall shorter lifespan

127
Q

Cystic Fibrosis Medications & Treatment

A

Immunization

Bronchodilators

Lung transplant- only definitive treatment

128
Q

CF nursing cares

A

Difficulty clearing secretions; Promote airway clearance –asses rest status, assess cough, montor results, place in fowler postion, assist coughing, fluid intake pf 2000-2500//

promote healthy greif responses//

Chest Physiotherapy- aids in drainage, comleted on empty sdtomach

Percussion & postural drainage- completed on empty stomach

129
Q

Atelectasis

A

Condition associated with many respiratory disorders

Partial or total lung collapse and airlessness –xray shows no air in lungs

results from trauma,acute or chrnic lung diseases, poor lung use,

130
Q

atelectasis therapy

and assessments

A

prevention,
copd,smoking, prolonged bedrest//

assess repsitary status,including rate,breths ounds, spiromaty readinig

131
Q

atelectasis manifestatioons

A

Diminished breath sounds, X ray- airless component of lungs

132
Q

atelectasis nursing care

A

airway clearance, C&DB, increase fluids, pulmonary hygiene and exercise

133
Q

Working as a TEAM with Respiratory Patients

A

Registered Nurse must complete primary and initial education, primary assessment

Licensed practical nurse (LPN) medication administration under their scope, reinforce education

Unlicensed personal able to assist with tasks and take vitals
