Q

Name the 5 phases of coagulation

A
  1. vascular phase (vessel constricts)
  2. Platelet phase (Cells clump to plug leak)
  3. Coagulation Phase (blood clot forms)
  4. Clot Retraction (Clot shrinks as tear heals)
  5. Fibrinolysis(Clot Dissolves)

Q

Name the 6 links in the chain of infection

A
  1. Infectious agent
  2. Reservoir
  3. Portal of exit
  4. Mode of transmission
  5. Portal of entry
  6. Susceptible Host
3
Q

Standard Precautions

A

for all pt: Use PPE when handling bodily fluids, non intact skin, or mucous membrane perform hand hygiene before and after contact with a Pt. and safely dispose of used equipment

4
Q

Airborne Precautions

A

for infections spread via droplets smaller than 5 microns; wear respiratory protection

5
Q

Droplet Precautions

A

for infections spread via droplets larger than 5 microns: wear a mask

6
Q

Contact precautions

A

for infections spread through contact: wear gloves and gowns

7
Q

Analytical Communicators

A

prefer to work with real numbers, facts and data. they place very little emphasis on feelings or emotions

8
Q

Intuitive Communicators

A

prefer to look at the big picture. While this can be an efficient style, it can result in more questions than answers when using too broad an approach.

9
Q

Functional Communicators

A

Prefer an organized approach with timelines and detailed plans, using a step-by-step method to solve problems and communicate information. this can be an effective style of communication as long as the patient doesn’t become overwhelmed with details.

10
Q

Personal Communicators

A

Use emotional language and connections. They care about how people think and feel in response to the information. people who use this style are often good, active listeners and resolve conflict easily.

11
Q

Steps of the communication cycle

A
  1. Sender develops the message
  2. Sender encodes message into transmittable format
  3. sender transmits message
  4. receiver decodes the message
  5. receivers interprets the message
  6. reciever provides feedback

Q

4 Chambers of the Heart

A
  1. Right Atrium
  2. Left Atrium
  3. Right Ventricle
  4. Left Ventricle
13
Q

How Blood travels through the heart

A

Both atria begin relaxed. blood flows from the superior and inferior venae cavae into the right atrium and from the pulmonary veins into the left atrium. Atrial contraction occurs simultaneously, forcing blood into both ventricles. as the atria relax, both ventricle contract and force blood out of the heart. the right ventricle forces deoxygenated blood to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries, and the left ventricle forces oxygenated blood to the body.

14
Q

How the heart’s conduction system works

A

conduction system consists of 2 nodes:
the SA node and the atrioventricular (AV) node, which transmits the signal to the bundle of His following atrial contraction. this collection of nerves located between the Atria and Ventricles then transmits the signal to the finger- like projections located throughout the ventricular muscle - called Purkinje fibers – to trigger ventriclar contraction.
