Q

hydrostatic pressure, oncotic pressure, and osmotic pressure

A

if oncotic pressure drops and you don’t have the pull pressure (12mmHg)
- the fluid is going to stay in the tissues = edema
- in a case of low albumin we can give it supplementally or synthetic intravascular bulking agents that ↑ the oncotic pull pressure
- ↑ interstitial hydrostatic push pressure (30mmHg)
- a counter pressure (compression) to overcome hydrostatic pressure

Q

2nd and 3rd spacing + examples

A

2nd spacing:
- fluid moved into the interstitial space
- not useful to the body
- w/ therapy push or pull it where it can be useful

3rd spacing:
- in a cavity where we cant draw it back or push it back
- needs to be removed
- ascites
- fluid no longer available to the body

Q

list and summarize the ways in which the body regulates water balance

A
  1. hypothalamic regulation - thirst, stimulates pituitary
  2. pituitary regulation
    - ADH , less urine output
  3. Adrenal Cortical Regulation
    - RAAS system; renin aldosterone (Sodium retention (therefore H2O) acts on kidneys
  4. Renal regulation
    - release Na, vasodilation
  5. Cardiac regulation
    - ANF
  6. GI regulation
    - LI, H2O absorption (c-diff, viral infections, cholera, Crohn’s,)
  7. Insensible H2O loss
    - What happens with body (900mL lost)

Q

regulation of H2O balance
– hypothalamus

A

1 ) senses thirst
2 ) stimulates posterior pituitary to release ADH
3 ) ADH makes the kidneys permeable to reabsorb H2O
4 ) aldosterone released from adrenal gland makes kidneys reabsorb H20 + Na and excrete K+

22
Q

collab care
– Hyperkalemia
C big K drop

A

C- Calcium gluconate- stabilize myocardium
B- β2-adrenergic agonists such as salbutamol to shift potassium into the cells
I- IV insulin (shift K+ into cells), and
G- IV Glucose to manage hypoglycemia
K- Kayexalate
D- diuretics or Dialysis

23
Q

the process of acid-base regulation

A

buffer system:
- reacts imediately
resp system:
- responds in min
- max effectiveness reached within hrs
renal system:
- 2-3 days to reach max response
- maintain balance for a long period of time

24
Q

biochemistry and physiology involved with acid-base balance in the body

A

buffer system:
- K+ exchanged w/ H+
- alkalosis > hypokalemia
- acidosis > hyperkalemia
lungs
- rapid resps > ↓ CO2 > ↓ acidity
slow resps > ↑CO2 > ↑ acidity
kidneys
- excretion and/or retention of acids and bicarb
- ↓ H+ and ↑HCO3 > ↓ acidity

25
ABG normal values
pH = 7.35 - 7.45 paCO2 = 35-45 HCO3 = 22-26 paO2 = 80 - 100mmHg
26
metabolic acidosis
Accumulation of acid: - DKA, septic shock (lactic acid accumulation), starvation loss of bicarbonate: - diarrhea, renal failure
27
metabolic alkalosis
Loss of acid: - NG suctioning - prolonged vomiting - loss of K+ due to diuretic therapy Gain in bicarbonate: - ingestion of baking soda
28
respiratory acidosis
Anything that causes hypoventilation: - COPD - barbituate or sedative overdose - severe pneumonia - Atelectasis - Respiratory muscle weakness - mechanical hypoventilation
29
respiratory alkalosis
Anything causing hyperventilation: - sepsis, anxiety attack - 2o to hypoxia, fear, fever - stimulated respiratory center - CNS disorders, brain injury, salicylate poisoning - mechanical overventilation
30
biological processes involved in cancer
defects in cellular proliferation - normal cellular function vs. cancer cell - stem cell theory - loss of contact inhibition defects in cellular differentiation: - proto-oncogenes > can be altered by mutations > An oncogene is like a gas pedal that is stuck down causing out of control growth - tumor-suppressor genes > rendered inactive by mutations * BRCA1 and BRCA2 --> mutation makes a high risk for breast and ovary cancer
31
differentiate the 3 phases of cancer development
1 ) initiation - genetic or carcinogen mutations 2 ) promotion - latency period - cells only become tumors only when they establish the ability to self-replicate and grow 3 ) progression - growth, invasiveness and metastasis
32
describe the role of the immune system in relation to cancer
immunological surveillance - response to tumor-associated antigens - lymphocytes continually check cell surface antigens and detect/destroy abnormal cells - involves cytotoxic T cells, natural killer cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes
33
describe the use of the classification systems for cancer -- TNM table
tumor (T) - T0 = no tumor - Tis = evidence of tumor in situ - T1, T2, T2 etc.. = progressive ↑in tumor size and involvement - tx = unable to assess nodes (N) - N0 = no lymph node metastasis - N1, N2, N3= ↑involvement of regional nodes - Nx = cannot be assessed Metastasis (M) - M0 = no evidence - M1, M2, M3 = metastatic involvement - Mx = cannot be assessed
34
explain the role of the nurse in the prevention and detection of cancer
Change in bowel or bladder habits A sore that doesn’t heal Unusual bleeding or discharge Thickening or lump I the breast or else where Indigestion or difficulty swallowing Obvious change in a wart or a mole Nagging cough or hoarseness Cancer cachexia
35
explain the use of surgery, radiation therapy, chemo, and biological therapy in tx of cancer
surgery: - diagnostic, preventative, eliminative, reconstructive, or palliative chemo: - exerts chemical influence on cellular division (rapid producing cells) radiation: - local destruction of cancer cells - adjuvant > supplements surgery - palliative biotherapy: - uses the body's immune system to kill cancer cells
36
describe the 3 goals of cancer tx -- cure, control, palliative
cure: - usual life-span control - usual or reduced lifespan palliative - comfort measures - reduced lifespan
37
describe the effects of radiation and chemo on normal tissues
chemo attacks all fast growing cells (systemic) - hair follicles > alopecia - GI issues > lining - bone marrow > pain, ↓WBC, RBC, radiation - works by making small breaks in the DNA inside cells
38
nursing management of pts receiving rad. therapy and chemo -- adverse rxns
chemo - labs; WBC, platelets, RBC, Hmg - G-CSF - reverse precautions for infection - transfusion of RBC or platelets - GI: N/V, constipation - Intg: skin - radiation general side effects: - skin problems and fatigue - other side effects reflect the location of the XRT
39
complications that can occur in advanced cancer -- assessments and collab intervention for each
40
common indications for bone marrow transplant and nursing considerations for pts after transplant
stem cells to produce new blood cells infection control > reverse precautions
41
identify S/S of inadequate oxygenation and the implications of these findings
42
pathophysiology and types -- pneumonia
- acute inflammation of lung parenchyma caused by an agent - ↑interstitial fluid & alveolar fluid types: lobar: - consolidation of 1 lobe of 1 lung lobular/bronchopneumonia - patchy consolidation throughout
43
clinical manifestations and collab care -- pneumonia
manifestations: - chest pain, SOB, cough - OA > confused collab care: - antibiotics - support measures - vaccines - nutrition > 3L of fluid/day > (IV -> cautious of OA, renal failure and HF) - fluid/electrolyte management
44
pathophysiology and types -- COPD
chronic inflammation found in airways & lung parenchyma > bronchioles & alveoli Inability to expire air is main characteristic of COPD types: chronic bronchitis - chronic productive cough emphysema - abnormal & permanent enlargement of alveoli due to rupture and damage reducing the surface area for gas exchange
45
clinical manifestations -- COPD
- cough, sputum production, dyspnea, ↑WOB, barrel chest...
46
collab care -- COPD
smoking cessation improved ventilation - bronchodilators remove bronchial secretions reduce complications - DVT prophylaxis - pneumococcal vaccines promote exercise in moderation improve general health surgical theraphy
