Q

Patients who cannot tolerate the sympathetic effects of sympathomimetics might respond to the anticholinergic drugs (ipratropium:atrovent) and (tiotropium:spiriva)

A

Anticholinergics

20
Q

Used as bronchodilators because of their efrect on the vagus nerve, which sis to block or antagonize the action of the acetylcholine

A

Anticholinergic

21
Q

Anticholinergic nursing implementation

A

Oral drug with food or milk
Use it 30 to 60 mins before exercising
Not to exceed 12 inhalations in 24 hours

22
Q

Selectively and competitively block zafirlukast and montelukast or antagonize zileutom receptors for the production of luekitrienes d4 and e4

A

Leukotriene receptor antagonist

23
Q

Drugs block many of the signs and symptoms of asthma

A
  1. Neutrophil & eosinophil migration
  2. Neutrophil & monocyte aggregation
  3. Leukocyte adhesion
  4. Increased capillary permeability
  5. Smooth muscle contraction
24
Q

Occurs when the epithelial lining of the sinus cavities becomes inflamed

25
Sinusitis symptoms
Tenderness around the cheek, eyes, or forehead 38 degree c
26
Decrease the overproduction of secretions by causing local vasoconstrictions to the upper tract
Decongestants
27
Leads to a shrinking of swollen mucous membranes and tends to open clogged nasal passages, producing relief from the discomfort of a blocked nose and promoting drainage of secretions and improved airflow
Vasoconstriction
28
Decongestants classifications
1. Topical nasal decongestions 2. Oral decongestions 3. Topical steroid nasal decongestions
29
Decongestion should not be used frequently or prolonged use due to rebound vasodilation called
Rhinitis medicamentosa
30
Permanent, chronic obstruction of the airways, often related to cigarette smoking
COPD
31
Permanent inflammation of the airways with mucus secretion, edema and post inflammatory defenses
Chronic bronchitis
32
Characterized by loss of elastic tissue of the lungs destruction of alveolar walls, and resultant alveolar hyperinflation with a tendency to collapse with expiration
Emphysema
33
Drugs that liquefy the lower respiratory tract secretions
Expectorants
34
Use for the symptomatic relief of respiratory conditions characterized by a dry, non productive cough
Expectorants
35
Work to break down mucus to aid high-risk respiratory patients coughing up thick, tenacious secretions
Mucolytics
36
Drugs that suppress the cough reflex
Antitussives
37
Medical interventions for copd
Corticosteroids
38
Handheld devices that deliver medication to the lower respiratory tract
Metered dose inhalers
39
Devices used to enhance the delivery of medications from MDI
Spacers
40
Device that change liquid meds to a fine mist or aerosol that has the ability to reach lower smaller airways
Nebulizer
41
Causes obstruction at the alveolar level
Respiratory distress syndrome
42
Necessary for lowering the surface tension in the alveolar level
Surfactant
43
Characterized by progressive loss of lung compliance and increasing hypoxia
ARDS
44
Naturally occurring compounds or lipoproteins containing lipids and apoproteins that reduce the surface tension within alveoli, allowing expansion of the alveoli gas exchange
Lung surfactants
45
Tried in the treatment of adult RDS and with adults after near drowning
Surfactants
46
Lung surfactants Ensure placement of the endotracheal tube with_______ and_______ to provide adequate delivery of the drug
bilateral chest movement lung sounds
