A

examination (pt history, systems review, tests/measures), evaluation (eval of data to make a clinical judgement), diagnosis )classifies a pt within a specific practice pattern and indicates the primary dysfunctions), prognosis (determining the predicted level of optimal function), intervention, outcomes

Q

what should we be looking for in a patient neck during physical examination?

Q

how does hyperinflation affect rib angles?

what is normal inspiration to expiration ratio for pts with COPD?
1:3 or 1:4
26
what is apnea?
absence of breathing
27
what is bradypnea?
slow, regular, shallow or normal depth (when heavily medicated)
28
what is eupnea?
normal rate depth and rhythm
29
what is tachypnea?
fast, shallow, regular (restrictive)
30
what is dyspnea?
difficulty-rapid, shallow, regular, accessory mm
31
what is hyperventilation?
regular, fast, increased depth
32
what is orthopnea?
difficulty breathing in supine (not erect)
33
which condition results in prolonged expiration?
COPD
34
what is phonation?
evaluation of speech in an assessment of shortness to breath number of words between each breath (average is documented)
35
how can you describe cough and cough production
strength and description of secretions (color, consistency, amount, smell)
36
what is the different between a productive and non-productive cough?
productive = sputum non-productive = wet but not coughed up
37
what is the reason behind clear, white, or gray sputum?
usually indicated healthy lungs, but a lot of sputum may indicate a lung disease, allergy, or viral infection
38
what is the reason behind dark yellow or green sputum?
can indicate a bacterial or viral infection, such as pneumonia, or cystic fibrosis, an inherited condition that involves excess mucus buildup
39
what is the reason behind brown sputum?
often occurs in people who smoke and those with block lung disease, a condition resulting from exposure to coal dust
40

can be a sign of internal injury, lung cancer, or a pulmonary embolism
42
what is digital clubbing a sign of?
chronic tissue hypoxia
43
what is the diamond window?
test for clubbed finger. if there is a diamond window circulation is normal
44
what are two ways to evaluate circulation?
capillary refill and pulses
45
what is the 4 point scale for pulses?
0 = absent 1+ = palpable but thready and weak, easily obliterated 2+ normal, easily identified, not easily obliterated 3+ increased pulse; moderate pressure for obliteration 4+ full bounding; cannot obliterate
46
what is the depth and rebound time scale for edema?
1+ up to 2mm; immediate 2+ 2-4mm; <15 sec 3+ 4-6mm; 15-30 sec 4+ more than 6mm; more than 30 sec

liver failure, renal failure, or disseminated cancer
49
what are the four areas of the auscultations of the heart?
aortic: right 2nd intercostal space lateral to the sternum pulmonary: left 2nd intercostal space lateral to the sternum tricuspid: inferior left sternal margin mitral: 5th intercostal space. location of the apex beat

(abnormal) immediately following S2 (early diastole) key sign in heart failure
53

sign of pericarditis
56
what are the common abnormal lung sounds?
wheezes: continuous, constant pitch, varying duration crackles: discontinuous, brief bursts of popping bubbles pleural rub: sounds like 2 pieces of leather or sandpaper rubbing together
57
what is egophony?
auscultate each point while pt says "e". with secretions sound changes to "a"
58
what is bronchophony?
auscultate each point while pt says "99" normal is muffled with secretions 99 is loud and clear
59
what is whisper pectoriloquy?
auscultate while pt whispers normal is muffled with secretions is loud and clear
60
why is it important to examine the mediastinum (tracheal position)?
with a pneumothorax the lung collapses and the trachea will deviate towards that side with solid mass of fluid from pleural effusion the trachea will deviate away from the issue
61
what is fremitus?
the vibration produced by the voice or secretions in the airway that can be transmitted to the chest wall and palpated by placing the hands slightly on the chest wall
62
what is mediate percussion? and the potential sounds?
evaluation of any abnormal findings especially changes in lung density and diaphragmatic excursion dull: liver or dense tissue tympanic sound: loud, long, hollow; hyperinflated chest
63
arterial BP is a general indicator of:
function of heart as a pump
64
what are some abnormal systolic responses to an activity evaluation?
hypertensive, hypotensive, blunt or flat
65
what are the clinical implications of abnormal responses to an activity evaluation?
coronary artery disease, moderate to severe aortic valvular stenosis, or other cardiac muscle dysfunction
66
what are the abnormal diastolic responses to an activity evaluation?
increase or decrease of more than 10mmHg; sustained elevation during recovery
67
what are some symptoms of CV inadequacy?
angina, pericarditis, mitral valve dysfunction, bronchospasm, esophageal spasm, SOB, palpitations, dizziness, fatigue
