165
naming tumors
-Benign tumors: tissue name + “-oma”
-Malignant tumors (cancers) Epithelial tissue: tissue name + “carcinoma” Ductal or glandular epithelial tissue: tissue name + “adenocarcinoma” Connective (mesenchymal) tissue: tissue name + “sarcoma” Lymph tissue: lymphoma
Cancer of blood forming cells: leukemias
166
TNM classification system
used to determine the anatomic extent of the disease involvement according to 3 parameters:
(T) tumor size & invasiveness
(N) presence or absence of regional spread to the lymph nodes
(M) metastasis to distant organ sites
167
Chemotherapy
Using nonselective cytotoxic drugs, Affect normal (especially those that rapidly divide) and malignant cells, Goal is to destroy enough of the cancer cells so the body can take over and to spare normal cell, Single agent chemotherapy- Can see positive effects decrease over time, Combination chemotherapy- Decreases the risk of drug resistance Can use lower doses which may decrease harmful effects to normal cells
168
nursing implications with chemotherapy
Encourage Hydration, Administer antiemetics several hours before chemotherapy, Chemotherapeutic agents may cause hyperuricemia – consider allopurinol, Pregnant nurses should avoid rooms with chemotheapy, Monitor for phlebitis or extravasation, Monitor for signs of anaphylactic reactions
169
Negative Feedback and the endocrine system
Most common type of endocrine feedback, Gland responds by increasing or decreasing secretion of hormone based on other factors- Insulin secretion increased BG stimulates insulin secretion, As BG decreases the stimulus for insulin secretion decreases
170
alpha cells =
glucagon
171
beta cells =
insulin (allows glucose into cells) and amylin -both lower blood glucose
172
gut =
incretin effect
173
Counter-regulatory hormones increase blood glucose
Glucagon, Epinephrine (stress hormone), Growth Hormone (GH), Glucocorticoids (steroids)
174
incretin hormones
secreted from the gut that causes release of insulin from the beta cells prior to an elevation of blood glucose levels. Release of incretin hormones stimulated by food in the gut
175
Insulin
Release is stimulated primarily by presence of glucose in the blood, Insulin stimulates transport of glucose into cells to be used as energy, Primary purpose is to decrease blood sugar, It is the storage hormone (stores glucose as glycogen), Inhibits the breakdown of fat and glycogen, Increases protein synthesis and inhibits gluconeogenesis
176
Glucagon
Release is stimulated by low blood glucose levels, Inhibited by increased glucose levels, Causes increased BG via glycogenolysis, Onset within minutes, Encourages Gluconeogenesis
177
High blood glucose causes
pancreas to release insulin=cells take up glucose from the blood and the liver produces glycogen
178
Low blood glucose causes
pancreas to release glucagon- liver breaks down the glycogen- blood glucose rises
179
Glucocorticoids (adrenal gland)
Stimulate gluconeogenesis, Physical or emotional stress causes: increase of ACTH (results in release of cortisol from adrenal gland) and Decreased BG results in increased cortisol secretion
180
Type 1 diabetes mellitus
“Juvenile Diabetes” often diagnosed < 18, Absolute lack of insulin= Pancreatic beta cell destruction predominantly by an autoimmune process
181
3 P's of diabetes (more common in type 1) and other clinical manifestations
Polyuria Polydipsia Polyphagia (cells aren't getting sugar, no insulin), glycosuria (overwhelms renal system), weight loss (no food to cells, typicallt type 1), fast BG over 126 mg/dl
182
Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), Most common type, Insulin resistance (= less glucose uptake into cells), Hyperglycemia in the presence of relative insulin deficiency , Insulin release insufficient to meet the demand of increased BG, Resistance of the cells to the function of insulin (increased insulin resistance or decreased cellular sensitivity)
183
Oral glucose tolerance test OGTT
Measures body’s ability to remove glucose from the blood, Client drinks concentrated glucose solution (75 GRAMS), Serum glucose concentrations measured at 1 and 2 hours, Normal: glucose levels return to NL 2-3 hours after glucose load ingested
184
Glycosylated Hemoglobin HbA1C
Based on 120-day life cycle of RBC, Measures BG levels over past 2-3 months, Normal is 4-6%, Goal for a diabetic: less than 6.5 - 7%
Disadvantages: anemia, other blood disorders
185
Prediabetes
impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose, Fasting glucose levels higher than normal (>100 mg/dl, but <126 mg/dl), IGT: 2-hour plasma glucose higher than normal (between 140 and 199 mg/dl), HgA1C 5.7 to 6.4%
186
Diagnosis of diabetes
A1C >6.5 %, fasting glucose >126, 2hr plasma glucose >200 during OGTT, or random plasma glucose > 200
187
Metabolic syndrome
is a risk factor for many things, manifestations include: Increased abdominal adiposity, Elevated triglycerides, Reduced HDL, Increased blood pressure, Hyperglycemia
3/5 are needed to diagnose
188
medications to raise BG
Can give IV IM subq oral, Examples: 1) Glucagon- given IV for emergency patient unable to take PO(normal causes vomiting, take precautions)
2) “BD Glucose” – OTC tablet form 3) 50% IV dextrose
%
Adverse effects: nausea, vomiting, hypotension or hypertension (both are transient), tachycardia
Cautious use: pregnancy/lactation, impaired renal, hepatic, or cardiovascular function
189
Basal insulin
typically delayed onset and longer duration of action, normal only once a day, Examples: NPH, glargine (Lantus) insulin, detemir (Levemir)
190
Prandial insulin
quick onset but shorter duration of action, Categorized as “short-acting” or “rapid-acting”, normally at meal times and sometimes at HS, Based on sliding scale
Examples: insulin aspart, lispro or glulisine (all rapid acting insulin) OR Regular insulin (short acting)
191
Do not mix ____ and _____ insulin in the same syringe
Rapid and long
192
Rapid acting insulin
Insulin lispro-Humalog, Insulin aspart-Novolog, Insulin glulisine (Apidra)
Clear in solution, Compatible with Regular, NPH
193
Short acting insulin
Regular, clear in solution
194
Intermediate acting insulin
NPH, Less frequent dosing required, Cloudy in solution
195
Fixed combination insulin
50/50 or 70/30, Mixture of short acting and intermediate acting, Most used is 70/30 which is 70% NPH and 30% regular, Do not mix with other insulins
196
Glargine (Lantus)
Basal insulin, Mimics the basal level of insulin in the body, Used with rapid acting and should not be mixed with any other insulin, Rapid acting insulin is given before meals to handle the increase in glucose postprandially
197
Amylinomimetic agent
Pramlintide (Symlin), used in types 1 and 2, given with meal insulin, acts like amylin (decreases gastric emptying, suppresses glucagon regulates food intake) given subq, black box warning severe hypoglycemia
198
Insulin methods
SubQ, pens, pumps, regular insulin can be given IV
199
Somogyi effect
hypoglycemia occurs typically at 2-3 am. The body compensates by increasing catecholamines, glucagon, cortisol and GH
Compensatory mechanisms cause increased BG levels by morning, Morning BG level is elevated, Diagnosis is the blood glucose test 2-3am, Treatment is by lowering the evening insulin dose or by giving an hs snack
200
Dawn Phenomenon
High fasting BG level, Typically occurs in the morning, 5-9 AM, Thought to be related to release of growth hormone (and possibly cortisol), Pre-dawn BG level is elevated, Common in adolescents and young adults, Treatment is to increase the insulin dose
