Question 4

are
heard over the trachea. These sounds are harsh and sound like air is
being blown through a pipe.

Answer 4

Tracheal breath sounds

Question 5

decreased heart rate, usually below 60
bpm/minute in adults

Answer 5

BRADYCARDIA

Question 5

are present over the large airways in the anterior
chest near the second and third intercostal spaces;

Answer 5

Bronchial sounds

Question 5

the act of breathing where the rise and fall of the chest is noted;
Inhalation - is the movement of air from the atmosphere into the
lungs, Exhalation is the movement of gas from the lungs to the
atmosphere; normal range for neonates or infants is 30-60 bpm and
16-20 bpm for adults;

Answer 5

RESPIRATION

Question 5

is a build-up of an unusual amount of fluid between the layers of tissue
outside of the lungs. The condition is sometimes referred to as “water on the lungs.”
These layers of tissue help the breathing process for the lungs, and while some amount
of fluid is normal, too much can be dangerous.

Answer 5

Pleural effusion

Question 6

2 TYPES OF BREATHING

Answer 6

• Thoracic or Costal - involves the external intercostals muscles
  and other accessory muscles
• Abdominal or Diaphragmatic - involves the contraction an
  relaxation of the diaphragm and is observed by movement of the
  abdomen

Question 7

• involves the contraction an
  relaxation of the diaphragm and is observed by movement of the
  abdomen

Answer 7

• Abdominal or Diaphragmatic

Question 7

• involves the external intercostals muscles
  and other accessory muscles

Answer 7

• Thoracic or Costal

Question 7

is a genetic disorder that primarily affects cells that produce bodily
fluids. Many parts of the body can be affected; however, because cystic fibrosis often
affects the mucus that lines the lungs, the lungs are most often affected.

Answer 7

CYSTIC FIBROSIS

Question 7

a measure of the pressure exerted by the blood as
it flows through the arteries; blood moves in two ways
therefore, there are two blood pressure
measurements; expressed in mmHg (millimeters of
Mercury); measured by the use of a
sphygmomanometer or BP apparatus and
stethoscope; normal reading is 120/80 mmHg

Answer 7

BLOOD PRESSURE

Question 8

• the condition causes small air sacs in the lungs to slowly thin,
  weaken, and rupture, causing lung damage over a long period of time. This limits the
  amount of oxygen that the lungs can take in. As the client exhales, the lungs are
  also less able to expel carbon dioxide. The condition is strongly linked to smoking.

Answer 8

EMPHYSEMA

Question 8

are heard in the posterior chest between the scapulae
and in the center part of the anterior chest.

Answer 8

Bronchovesicular sounds

   10.

Question 9

are soft, blowing, or rustling sounds normally heard throughout
most of the lung fields.

Answer 9

Vesicular sounds

Question 10

Abnormal breath sounds, called ______________________________, occur when air passes
through narrowed airways or airways filled with fluid or mucus, or when pleural linings
are inflamed.

Answer 10

adventitious breath sounds

Question 11

-is a disease caused by
bacteria called Mycobacterium
tuberculosis. The bacteria usually attack
the lungs, but they can also damage
other parts of the body. TB spreads
through the air when a person with TB of
the lungs or throat coughs, sneezes,
or talks (droplet)

Answer 11

TUBERCULOSIS

Question 12

is a rare chest wall
deformity that causes the breastbone to
push outward instead of being flush
against the chest. It is also known as
pigeon chest or keel chest.

Answer 12

PECTUS CARINATUM

Question 12

is a sideways curvature of the
spine that occurs most often during the
growth spurt just before puberty. while
scoliosis can be caused by conditions such as
cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, the
cause of most cases is unknown.

Answer 12

SCOLIOSIS

Question 12

is a spinal disorder in which
an excessive outward curve of the spine
results in an abnormal rounding of the upper
back. The condition is sometimes known as
“roundback” or—in the case of a severe
curve—as “hunchback.” Kyphosis can occur
at any age, but is common during
adolescence.

Answer 12

KYPHOSIS

Question 12

-is a condition in
which a person’s breastbone is sunken
into his or her chest. In severe cases,
pectus excavatum can look as if the
center of the chest has been scooped out,
leaving a deep dent.

Answer 12

Pectus excavatum

Question 13

sometimes called “partial paralysis”, is a form of paralysis in which function is substantially impeded from the waist down. It is almost always the result of damage to the brain, spinal cord, or both. In most cases, spinal cord injuries to the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral spinal cord are to blame.

Answer 13

PARAPLEGIA

Question 13

-is an increased inward curving of the lumbar spine (just above the buttocks); some call this condition “swayback” because of the obvious curvature of the lumbar area.

Answer 13

LORDOSIS

Question 13

is a form of paralysis where all four extremities (upper and lower) suffers from movement inability. Quadriplegia is caused primarily by injury to the cervical area of the spinal cord. This damage can be caused by accidental events such as falling, vehicle accident, sports injury, etc.

Answer 13

QUADRIPLEGIA

Question 13

damage to any part of the spinal cord or nerves at the end of the spinal canal often causes permanent changes in strength, sensation and other body functions below the site of the injury.

Answer 13

SPINAL CORD INJURY
