26
bariatrics-health science
focuses on extremely obese patients
27
Normal BMI
18.5-24.9
28
Morbidly Obese BMI
greater than or equal to 40
29
causes of obesity
genetics, environmental, psychosocial
30
1 pound of body fat is equal to
3500 kcal
31
things to know for a patient trying to lose weight
goal of 1-2 pounds lost per week is 10% of body weight in 6 months, plateaus can last days to weeks, daily weight is not recommended, having a group can lead to greater success
32
exercise
is essential and should be 30 minute to an hour each day
33
drug therapy for weight loss
two categories- reduce appetite (Meridia, subutramine) or reduce nutrient absorption (Xenical, orlistat) , drugs the increase energy are not approved by the FDA
34
bariatric surgery
used for morbidly obese, only treatment found to have a successful and lasting weight loss, BMI greater than or equal to 40 or 35 with one other obesity related complication
35
restrictive bariatric surgery
reduces size of stomach to 30 ml or less, causes pt to feel full quicker, normal digestion and absorption, AGB
36
adjustable gastric band
lapband, limited stomach space by band, can be inflated or deflated to change stoma size, can be modified or reversed, fewer risks
37
malabsorptive surgery
bypass lengths of small intestine, less absorption, long lasting results, BPD
38
Biliopancreatic diversion
removes 3/4 of stomach, nutrients pass without being digested
39
combination of roux-en-y surgical procedure
low complication rates, excellent pt tolerance, stomach is decreased in size with a pouch that empties directly into the jejunum
40
after bariatric surgery
diet should be high protein and low in carbs fats and roughage, six small feedings, no fluid with meals and only 1000 mL of fluid per day
41
Osteoarthritis
Slowly progressive noninflammatory disorder of synovial joints, can be from age obesity injury or muscle weakness, causes joint pain/stiffness and heberdens / bouchards nodes, normally older than 40, in more females after 50 and males before 50
42
Diagnostic studies and treatment of osteoarthritis
Bone scan ct scan MRI X-ray and synovial fluid analysis. Treatment is focused on managing pain, preventing disability and improving joint function non drug therapy
43
Arthroscopic surgery
Effective in reducing pain of OA and improving function when it is used to repair ligament tears and remove bone bits
44
Rheumatoid arthritis
Chronic systemic autoimmune disease, inflammation in synovial joints, periods of remission and exacerbation, frequently has extra-articular manifestations, normally in young to middle age females
45
Clinical manifestations of RA
rheumatoid nodules (hard non tender, can break down and cause infection), Sjögren's syndrome (in 10-15% of RA, reduced lacrimal and salivary secretions)
46
Diagnostic studies of RA
Positive RF in most pts, antinuclear antibody tiers, X-ray bone scan MRI, indications of active inflammation (erythrocyte sediment rate, C-reactive protein, and synovial fluid examination
47
Treatment of RA
Physical therapy, occupational therapy, drug therapy- disease modifying anti rheumatic drugs which lessen permanent effects of RA (methotrexate) biologic/ target therapy which slows the disease (etanercept) NSAIDs, and corticosteroids for symptom control (short term)
48
When is cold therapy beneficial?
During acute disease exacerbation for 10-15 minutes
49
When is heat therapy beneficial?
Chronic stiffness for 20 minutes
50
Never use heat device with
Heat producing cream (capsaicin)
51
Synovectomy
Take out fluid and part of joint, joint replacement is more common
52
Systemic lupus erythematosus
Chronic multi-system inflammatory autoimmune disease, manifestations a lot like RA main differences are butterfly rash and sun or light sensitivity, flared triggered by stress fatigue sun infection or pregnancy
53
Diagnostic findings of lupus
No single test can confirm, ANA (anti nuclear antibody) ESR, LE prep, anti smith (sm) 30-40% will show positive that have lupus
54
Treatment for lupus
NSAIDs, anti malarial-hydroxychloroquine (plaquenil) need eye exams q 6-12 months, corticosteroids, immunosuppressives
55
Nursing care during acute exacerbation of sle
Assess fever pattern, joint inflammation, limitation of motion, pain, weight and I/O, 24 hr urine collection, observe for signs of bleeding, neurological assessment, asses for neuropathy, mostly in females, big COD w/ SLE is infection
56
Gout
Systemic disease in which urate crystals deposit in joints causing inflammation, may be due to over or under secretion of uric acid by the kidneys or increase of foods with purines
57
Primary gout
Controlled with Meds, under or over production of uric acid
58
Secondary gout
Can be changed, from obesity hypertension diuretic use alcohol consumption or high purine foods (breaks down uric acid)
59
Diagnostic test of gout
Presence of sodium urate crystals in synovial fluid, elevated serum uric acid levels, elevated 24 hour urine for uric acid levels, X-ray
60
Management of gout
Increase fluids and rest, low purine diet, avoid alcohol fad diets aspirins and diuretics, drug therapy (colchicine- anti inflammatory greatly decreases pain also given with Tylenol or NSAIDs), use things like cradle to protect painful area
61
Non invasive testing
X-ray, ct scan, DEXA, MRI
62
X-ray considerations
No prep, mobility on to table, give pain Meds prior
63
Ct scan

64
MRI considerations
Can take 60-90 minutes, must lie supine without movement, can have open MRI, no metal (can cause burn or projectile), transdermal patches need to be removed with dr consent

69
Arthrogram (arthrography)
Contrast medium or air is injected into joint cavity, client moves (or is moved) through series of movements while X-rays are taken, considerations: NPO, minimize joint movement 12 hrs after, pain Meds and ice, call MD if edema or pain lasts more than 2 days, may experience crepitus in joint
70
Myelogram
Used to detect defects around spine, considerations: pre-procedure force fluids night before than NPO 4-8 hrs before and void before procedure, post procedure prevention of lumbar puncture headaches by increasing fluids maintaining bed rest and completing neurological assessment
71
Arthrocentesis
Aspiration of synovial fluid, considerations: need compression bandage and ice post procedure, analgesics, joint rest 8-24 hrs after, notify MD if fever or swelling occurs
72
Sprain
Stretch and/or tear to the ligaments surrounding the joint, can result in loss of function a popping or tearing sensation discoloration pain and swelling
73
Strain
Excessive stretching of muscle or tendon, may result in pain limited motion muscle spasms or swelling
74
Treatment of strains and sprains
Prevention, PRICE (prevent, rest, ice, compression, elevation) and analgesics/ NSAIDS, after 48 hrs mild heat x 15-30 minutes, temporary splint or elastic bandage

90
Spica cast
Normally from waist down
91
Cast nursing management
Keep cast/extremity elevated, allow it to dry for 24-72 hours after applied (handle wet plaster with palms), petal cast (covering the end of cast), monitor for signs of infection
92
Traction
Continuous pull on affected part for a period of time to attain or maintain normal anatomical position
93
Types of Traction
Skin- straight running traction, attached to skin to control muscle spasms, 10-15 lbs short term. Skeletal- attached directly to pts skeletal system, uses pins screw wires or tongs, 5-45lbs, long term
94
External fixation

Fat embolism
Three symptoms: Neurological dysfunction (confusion), acute respiratory failure, petechial rash (conjunctivae inner cheeks neck and axilla)
Treatment: prevention, support the respiratory system-high fowlers high concentration o2 correct fluids corticosteroids
97
Acute compartmental syndrome
Not common but emergency, results in infection motor weakness Contractures acute renal failure, can be from snake bites Or infiltrated IV
Treatment: prevention and early recognition, extremity should not be raise above heart level, no ice packs, may result in amputation
98
The 6th P
Pressure, expect intracompartmental pressure to be between 0-10 mm Hg, readings higher than 30 indicate compartment syndrome
99
Arthroplasty
Reconstruction or replacement of joint, make sure pt is in best possible health before surgery
100
Hip fractures
Most caused by falls due to osteo., if shaft breaks it's more due to trauma
Treatment: buck traction until surgery, open reduction internal fixation
With total replacement avoid adduction for 4-6 weeks

104
Clinical manifestations of osteoporosis and diagnosis
Kyphosis, annual loss of height, back pain (broken vertebrae), fractures (in arms to stop from falling)
Diagnosis: bone mineral density, quantitive ultrasound, DEXA (t-score >\= -1 is normal, <\= -2.5 is considered osteoporosis)
105
Medications for osteoporosis
