Q

Posture/position used to breath thorax and lung assessment

A

Which includes a relaxed posture and the ability to support one’s own weight. (Tripod Position - which is seen a lot in COPD patients which is where they lean forward to breathe) Neck Muscles are also hypertrophied due to the aid of forced respiration across the obstructed airway.

Q

Shape and symmetry of chest thorax and lung assessment

A

anterior-posterior (AP) to transverse diameter; which should be less than transverse, 3/4 in adults. barrel chest is when the AP is equal to transverse diameter which is caused by hyperinflation of lung (Barrel chest common in COPD constant lack of inspiration scoliosis and kyphosis)

Rhythm thorax and lung assessment
Bradypnea, tachypnea, hyperventilation, normal
26
Skin color and condition thorax and long assessment
Color could be consistent with the person's background with allowance for sun exposure areas on the chest and back lips nails and mucous membrane. This is the best place to do a skin and pigment assessment due to its usual lack of exposure from the sun.
27
Cyanosis
The turning of blue due to the lack of O2 in the body
28
Use of accessory muscles thorax and lung inspection
No reaction or bulging of the interspace should occur on inspiration normally accessory muscle is not used during a augment respiratory
29
Clubbing thorax and lung inspection
Increased size and fanning of fingers and fingernails due to a chronic respiratory disease
30
Palpation thorax and lung inspection
Tenderness or crepitus Symmetry of lung expansion Assess tactile fremitus
31
Tenderness or crepitus lung and thorax palpation
Looking for tenderness and crepitus air bubbles or crackling under the skin
32
Symmetry of lung thorax and lung palpation
By placing your warmed hand sideways on the posterior lateral chest wall with thumb pointed together at the T9-T10. Slide your hand immediately to pinch up a small fold of skin between your thumbs ask the person to take a deep breath and as your patient inhales deeply your thumbs should move apart symmetrically
33
Assess tactile fremitus
Move hands across and down either the chest or the back have the patients say either 99 or blue moon these words produce strong vibrations. Each side should have the same vibrations.
34
Percussion thorax and lung
Resonance Dull Flat Hyper resonance
35
Resonance percussion sound meaning
Low-pitched clear hollow sound. Normally found in lungs.
36
Dull percussion sound
Fluid sound normally found in liver, heart, spleen abnormal in lung
37
Flat percussion sound
Should be heard over muscles and bones
38
Hyper resonance percussion sound
Low-pitched booming sound found when too much air is present such as emphysema and or pneumothorax
39
Ausculation lung and thorax
Three types of normal breathing sounds found in older children and adults. Bronchial Bronchialvesicular Vesicular
40
Ausculation Lung and thorax bronchial
Also known as tracheal. Loudest inspiration harsh hollow tubular
41
Ausculation Lung and thorax broncovesicular
Moderate, inspiration equals expiration, mix sound, major bronchi very few alveoli
42
Ausculation Lung and thorax vesicular
Softest, expiration, rustling sound small bronchioles and alveoli
43
Stridor lung sound
High pitched whistling sound heard when taking a breath. Caused by blockage in trachea
44
Wheezing lung sound
Whistling sound due to narrowing of airways caused by edema and asthma
45
Rhonchi lung sound
Rattling sound in larger airways of lung caused by excessive mucus
46
Rales long sound
Bubbling sound heard in small airways alveoli typically when they fill with fluid
47
Assessment finding for asthma
Inspection - increased respiratory rate shortness of breath audible wheeze cyanosis Palpation-tactical fremitus decrease, tachycardia. Percussion - resonant or hyper resonant if it's chronic asthma. Auscultation- breathing sounds decreased, voice sounds decreased prolonged expiration
48
Pneumonia assessment findings
Inspection - respiration of 24 per minute or more, guarding, lack of expansion on affected side. Palpation pulse greater than 100 beats per minute, chest expansion decrease on affected side. Percussion - Dull over pneumonia area Auscultation - tachycardia, loud bronchial breathing, voice sounds have increased clarity, fine medium crackle.
49
Emphysema assessment findings
Inspection - increased AP diameter (barrel chest) tripod position. Palpation - decreased tactile fremitus and breathing sounds. Percussion - hyper resonant. Auscultation- muffled heart sound, decrease breath sound, may have an occasional wheeze.
50
Abdominal assessment
Inspection, auscultation, percussion, palpation
51
Abdominal assessment inspection
Shape, symmetry, umbilical, skin, pulsation and movement, hair distribution, demeanor
52
Auscultation abdominal assessment
Bowel sounds-high pitch gurgling, cascading sounds heard five to 30 times per minute. vascular sounds- check the aorta, femoral, iliac, renal artery. No sound is normal. However younger patients may have a brew it from the artery medium to low and pitch and hurt between the xiphoid process and belly button.
53
Abdominal assessment percussion
General tympany, liver span, splenic dullness, costovertebral angle tenderness, fluids, fluid wave, shifting dullness
54
Abdominal assessment palpation
Liver, spleen, kidney, aorta
55
Borborygmus
Stomach growling, hyperparastalsis
56
Dysphagia
Difficulty swallowing
57
Bruits
Vascular sounds
58
Ascites
Free fluid in the peritoneal cavity occurs with heart failure, portal hypertension, cirrhosis, hepatitis, pancreatitis, cancer
59
Striae
Pink / blue to silvery white linear and jagged lines found on the abdomen
60
Hernia
A loop of bowel or content protruding through a weak spot in the abdominal muscle
61
Concave contour
Shape of belly curves inward
62
Protuberance
A sign of distension in the abdomen
63
Scaphoid
Abdominal caving
64
Right upper quadrant organs
Liver, gallbladder, duodenum, head of pancreas, write adrenal gland, portion of right kidney, part of ascending and transverse colon
65
Organs in right lower quadrant
Cecum, appendix, right ovary and fallopian tube, right ureter, lower pole of right kidney, portion of ascending colon, right spermatic cord, bladder if distended
66
Organs and left upper quadrant
Stomach, spleen, left lobe of liver, body of pancreas, left adrenal gland, portion of left kidney, portion of transverse and descending colon
67
Organs in the left lower quadrant
Lower pole of left kidney, portion of descending colon, sigmoid colon, bladder, leftovery, left fallopian tube, left spermatic cord
68
Abdominal assessment
Blumberg's sign, Murphy sign, ilipsoas muscle test, obturator test
69
Blumberg sign
When you push down slowly and deeply and pull up quickly pain should be felt when pulling up. This test should be performed last due to cause of pain and muscle rigidity
70
Murphy's sign
And spiritually arrest gallbladder infection hold your finger under the liver border ask your patient to take a deep breath, not accurate for patients older than 60
71
Iliopsoas muscle test
When appendicitis is suspected with the patient patient lies supine lift the right leg straight up and flex at the hip and then press down over the lower part of the right thigh The person is trying to hold their right leg up.
72
Obturator test
The patient raises right leg flexing 90° at the knee while the examiner holds the ankle and rotates the leg internally and externally there should be no pain
73
Considerations for all adults
Inspection - increase deposits of subcutaneous fat on abdomen and hips and abdominal masculature is thinner and has less tone palpate - organs are easier to palpate and absence of obesity liver is easier to palpate or below coastal margin, kidney is easy to palpate.
74
Developmental consideration for infants
Inspection-contour of abdomen because of immature abdominal musculature. Peristalsis Visible because of the thin musculature
75
Three types of joints
Synovial joints, non synovial joints, cartilage joints
76
Ligament
Our fibereous bands running directly from one bone to another bone that strengthen the joint and help prevent movement in undesirable direction.
77
Synovial joints versus non-synovial joints versus cartilage joints
Synovial joints contain synovial fluid, bursa fluid sacs and joints that are used to reduce friction. Non synovial joints are minimal movement joints that provide integrity such as sutures of skull cartilage joints are separated by fibrocartilage discs that are only slightly movable
78
skeletal muscle movements range of motion
``` Flexion or extension. Abduction or adduction. Pronation or supination. Circumduction. Inversion or eversion. Rotation. Protraction or retraction. Elevation or depression. ```
79
Muscle strength grading scale
5/5 full ROM against gravity, full resistance 4/5 full r o m against gravity, some resistance 3/5 full r o m against gravity, no resistance 2/5 full r o m without gravity, passive ROM 1/5 slight muscle contraction, no movement 0/5 absence of visible and palpable muscle contraction
80
Ballottement
When large amounts of fluid are present compression on the Supra patellar pouch if no fluid then that means the patella is snugly against the femur
81
Phalen
Ask the person to hold both hands back to back while flexing the wrist 90°
82
Tinel
Direct percussion of the location of the median nerve at the risk producing no symptoms
83
Muscle testing
Have patient flex and hold while you apply opposing force
84
Developmental considerations for pregnant women
Increase level of circulating hormones cause increased movement and joints. Lordosis curving inward lower back compensating for large fetus
85
Aging adults musculoskeletal considerations
``` Loss of bone matrix. Postural changes. The vertebral column shortens. More pronounced bony prominences. Absolute loss of muscle mass. ```
