A client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) is experiencing dyspnea and has low PaO2 levels. The nurse plans to administer oxygen as ordered. Which of the following statements is true concerning oxygen administration to a client with COPD? 1.High oxygen concentrations will cause coughing and dyspnea 2.High oxygen concentrations may inhibit the hypoxic stimulus to breathe 3.Increased oxygen use will cause the client to become dependent on the oxygen Administration of oxygen is contraindicated in clients who are using bronchodilators
2.High oxygen concentrations may inhibit the hypoxic stimulus to breathe Clients who have a long history of COPD may retain carbon dioxide (CO2) . Gradually the body adjusts to the higher CO2 concentration and the high levels of CO2 no longer stimulate the respiratory center. The major respiratory stimulant then becomes hypoxemia. Administration of high concentrations of oxygen eliminates this respiratory stimulus and leads to hypoventilation. Give: O2 at 2L/min per nasal cannula/ Question orders higher than this.

Which of the following, if described by the parents of a child with cystic fibrosis, indicates the parents understand the underlying problem of the disease? A.An abnormality in the body's mucus secreting glands B.Formation of fibrous cysts in various body organs C.Failure of the pancreatic ducts to develop properly D.Reaction to the formation of antibodies against streptococcus
A.An abnormality in the body's mucus secreting glands CF is characterized by a dysfunction in the body's mucus producing exocrine glands the mucus secretions are think and sticky rather than thin and slippery. The mucus obstructs the bronchi bronchioles and pancreatic ducts. Mucus plugs in the pancreatic ducts can prevent pancreatic digestive enzymes from reaching the small intestine resulting in poor digestion and poor absorption of various food nutrients.
Which of the following is the FIRST priority in preventing infections when providing care for a client? A.Handwashing B.Wearing gloves C.Using a barrier between clients furniture and nurses bag in the home care setting D.Wearing gowns and googles
A.Handwashing CDC: Hand hygiene is now regarded as one of the most important element of infection control activities. In the wake of the growing burden of health care associated infections (HCAIs), the increasing severity of illness and complexity of treatment, superimposed by multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogen infections, health care practitioners (HCPs) are reversing back to the basics of infection preventions by simple measures like hand hygiene. This is because enough scientific evidence supports the observation that if properly implemented, hand hygiene alone can significantly reduce the risk of cross-transmission of infection in healthcare facilities (HCFs)1-5.

A.Imbalanced nutrition: Less than body requirements related to fatigue Ineffective breathing pattern may be a problem but this diagnosis does not specifically address the problem of weight loss described by the client.
Which of the following health promotion activates should the nurse include in the discharge teaching plan for a client with asthma? A.Incorporate physical exercise as tolerated into the daily routine B.Monitor peak flow numbers after meals and at bedtime C.Eliminate stressors in the work and home environment D.Use sedatives to ensure uninterrupted sleep at night
A.Incorporate physical exercise as tolerated into the daily routine Physical exercise is beneficial and should be incorporated as tolerated into the client's schedule. Peak flow numbers should be monitored daily usually in the morning before taking medication. Peak flow does not need to be monitored after each meal. Stressors in the client's life should be modified but cannot be eliminated. Although adequate sleep is important. It is not recommended that sedatives be routinely taken to induce sleep.
Which of the following blood gas abnormalities should the nurse anticipate in a client with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)? A.Increased PaCO2 B.Increased PaO2 C.Increased pH D.Increased oxygen saturation
A.Increased PaCO2 As COPD progresses, the client typically develops increased PaCO2 levels and decreased PaO2 levels. This results in decreased pH and decreased oxygen saturation - the result of air trapping and hypoventilation

Which of the following are potential adverse effects of metaproterenol? A.Irregular heartbeat B.Constipation C.Pedal edema D.Decreased pulse rate
A.Irregular heartbeat Irregular heartbeats should be reported promptly to care provider. Metaproterenol (Alupent) may cause irregular heartbeat, tachycardia, or angina pain because of its adrenergic effect on beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart. It is not recommended for use in clients with known cardiac disorders.
Bedrest is prescribed for a client with pneumonia during the acute phase of the illness. Bedrest serves which of the following purposes? A.It reduces the cellular demand for oxygen B.It decreases the episodes of coughing C.It promotes safety D.It promotes clearance of secretions
A.It reduces the cellular demand for oxygen Exudate in the alveoli interferes with ventilation and the diffusion of gases in clients with pneumonia during the acute phase of the illness. It is essential to reduce the body's need for oxygen at the cellular level; bed rest is the most effective method for doing so. Bedrest does not reduce coughing or promote clearance of secretions
When developing a teaching plan for the mother of an asthmatic child concerning measures to reduce allergic triggers which of the following suggestions should the nurse expect to include? A.Keep the humidity in the home between 50% and 60% B.Have the child sleep in the bottom bunkbed C.Use a scented room deodorizer to keep the room fresh D.Vacuum the carpet once or twice a week
A.Keep the humidity in the home between 50% and 60% To help reduce allergic triggers in the home the nurse should recommend the humidity level be kept between 50 and 60% . Doing so keeps the air moist and comfortable for breathing. When air is dry the risk for respiratory infections increase. Too high a level of humidity increases the risk for mold growth. Typically, the child with asthma should sleep on the top bunkbed to minimize the risk of exposure to dust mites. Scented sprays should be avoided because they may trigger an asthmatic episode. Ideally carpeting should be avoided in the home if the child has asthma.
Which of the following is a priority goal for the client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)? A.Maintaining functional ability B.Minimizing chest pain C.Increasing carbon dioxide levels in the blood D.Treating infectious agents
A.Maintaining functional ability Priority for the client with COPD is to manage the signs and symptoms of the disease process to maintain the clients functional ability (to perform ADL's etc. & keep O2 levels up). Chest pain is NOT typical symptom. The carbon dioxide concentration in the blood is increased to an abnormal level in client with COPD. It would not be a goal to increase the level further. Preventing infection would be a goal of care for the client with COPD.
Then nurse is planning to teach a client with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases how to cough effectively. Which of the following instructions should be included? A.Take a deep abdominal breath or sniff, bend forward and cough three or four times on exhalation B.Lie flat on the back, splint the thorax, take two deep breaths and cough C.Take several rapid shallow breaths and then cough forcefully D. Assume a side-lying positon, extend the arm over the head and alternate deep breathing with coughing
A.Take a deep abdominal breath, or sniff bend forward and cough three or four times on exhalation Goal of effective coughing is to conserve energy and facilitate removal of secretions and minimize airway collapse. They should assume a sitting position with feet on the floor, if possible (Tri-pod). Bend forward slightly and use pursed lip breathing to exhale. After resuming an upright positon, client should use abdominal breathing to slowly and deeply inhale. After repeating this process three or four times, client should take a deep abdominal breath bend forward and cough three or four times upon exhalation ("huff" cough).
• _____ ________ •characterized by the local vascular and exudative changes •usually lasts less than 2 weeks •immediate & serves a protective function •after the causative agent is removed: the inflammation subsides & and healing takes place with the return of normal or near-normal structure and function.
Acute inflammation
For a client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which nursing intervention helps maintain a patent airway? A - Restricting fluid intake to 1,000 ml/day B - Teaching the client how to perform controlled coughing C - Administering ordered sedatives regularly and in large amounts D - Enforcing absolute bed rest
B - Teaching the client how to perform controlled coughing
A 9 month old child with cystic fibrosis does not like taking pancreatic enzyme supplement with meals and snacks. The mother does not like to force the child to take the supplement. The most important reason for the child to take the pancreatic enzyme supplement with meals and snacks is: A.The child will become dehydrated if the supplement is not taken with meals and snacks B.The child needs these pancreatic enzymes to help the digestive system absorb fats, carbohydrates and proteins C.The child needs the pancreatic enzymes to aid in liquefying mucus to keep the lungs clear D.The child will experience severe diarrhea if the supplement is not taken as prescribed
B. The child needs these pancreatic enzymes to help the digestive system absorb fats, carbohydrates and proteins They must take the pancreatic enzyme supplement with meals and snacks to help absorb nutrients so he can grow and develop normally. In cystic fibrosis, the normally liquid mucus is tenacious and blocks three digestive enzymes from entering the duodenum and digesting essential nutrients. Without the supplemental pancreatic enzyme, the child will have voluminous, foul fatty stools. Due to the undigested nutrients, they may experience developmental delays due to malnutrition. The pancreatic enzymes have no effect on the viscosity of the tenacious mucus. Diarrhea is not caused by failing to take the pancreatic enzyme supplement.
A newly diagnosed patient with ulcerative colitis has been placed on steroids. They state they have heard that taking steroids can be dangerous and ask the nurse why steroids are prescribed. Which of the following statements by the nurse provides the client with accurate information about the use of steroid therapy in the treatment of ulcerative colitis? A."Ulcerative colitis can be cured by the use of steroids." B."Steroids are used in severe flare-ups because they can decrease the incidences of bleeding." C."Long-term use of steroids will prolong periods of remission." D."The side effects of steroids outweigh their benefits to clients with ulcerative colitis."
B."Steroids are used in severe flare-ups because they can decrease the incidences of bleeding." Steroids are effective in management of the acute symptoms of ulcerative colitis. They do NOT cure it. Long term use is not effective in prolonging the remission; assess carefully for side effects but the benefits of short term steroid therapy usually outweigh the potential adverse effects
When developing the plan of care for a child with cystic fibrosis who is scheduled to receive postural drainage. The nurse would anticipate performing postural drainage at which of the following times? A.After meals B.Before meals C.After rest periods D.Before inhalation treatments
B.Before meals Perform before meals to avoid the possibility of vomiting or regurgitating food. Although the child with CF needs frequent rest periods, this is not an important factor in scheduling postural drainage. However the nurse would not want to interrupt the child's rest period to perform the treatment. Inhalation treatments are usually given before postural drainage to help loosen secretions.
When performing postural drainage, which of the following factors promotes the movement of secretions from the lower to the upper respiratory tract? A.Friction between the cilia B.Force of gravity C.Sweeping motion of cilia D.Involuntary muscle contractions
B.Force of gravity The principle behind using postural drainage is gravity will help move secretions from smaller to larger airways. Postural drainage is best used after percussion has loosened secretions. Coughing or suctioning is then used to remove secretions. Movement of cilia is not sufficient to move secretions. Muscle contractions do not move secretions within the lungs
At a follow up appointment after being hospitalized an adolescent with history of cystic fibrosis describes his stools to the nurse. Which of the following descriptions should the nurse interpret as indicative of continued problems with malabsorption? A.Soft with little odor B.Large and foul smelling C.Loose with bits of food D.Hard with streaks of blood
B.Large and foul smelling Poor digestion and absorption of foods, especially fats results in frequents bowel movements that are bulky large and foul smelling. The stools also contain abnormally large quantities of fat which is called steatorrhea. An adolescent experiencing good control of the disease would describe soft stools with little odor. Stool describes as loose with bits of food indicates diarrhea. Stool describes as hard with streaks of blood may indicate constipation.
Which goal for the clients care should take priority during the first days of hospitalization for an exacerbation of ulcerative colitis? A.Promoting self-care and independence B.Managing diarrhea C.Maintaining adequate nutrition D.Promoting rest and comfort
B.Managing diarrhea Diarrhea (bloody many times) is the primary symptom in an exacerbation of ulcerative colitis and decreasing the frequency of stools is the first goal of treatment. The other goals are ongoing and will be best achieved by halting the exacerbation. The client may receive antidiarrheal agents, antispasmodic agents, bulk hydrophilic agents, or anti-inflammatory drugs
Which of the following should be a priority focus of care for a client experiencing exacerbation of Crohn's disease? A.Encouraging regular ambulation B.Promoting bowel rest C.Maintaining current weight D.Decreasing episodes of rectal bleeding
B.Promoting bowel rest Priority goal of care during an acute exacerbation of Crohn's disease is to promote bowel rest. This is accomplished through decreasing activity encouraging rest, and initially placing client on nothing by mouth status while maintain nutritional needs parenterally. Regular ambulation is important, but the priority is bowel rest. The client will probably lose some weight during the acute phase of the illness. Diarrhea is nonbloody in Chrohn's disease and episodes or rectal bleeding are not expected
Which assessment findings should lead the nurse to suspect a toddler is experiencing respiratory distress. (Select all that apply): A.Coughing B.Respiratory rate of 35 breaths minute C.Heart rate of 95 bpm D.Restlessness E.Malaise F.Diaphoresis
B.Respiratory rate of 35 breaths minute D.Restlessness F.Diaphoresis Early signs of respiratory distress include restlessness, tachypnea, tachycardia and diaphoresis. Coughing and malaise typically do not indicate respiratory distress. A heart rate of 95 is normal for a toddler. Other signs and symptoms include hypertension, nasal flaring, expiratory grunting, wheezing, and intercostal retractions.
A client with bacteria pneumonia is to be started on I.V. antibiotics . Which of the following diagnostic tests must be completed before antibiotic therapy begins? A.Urinalysis B.Sputum culture C.Chest radiograph D.Red blood cell count
B.Sputum culture A sputum culture is obtained for culture to determine the causative organism. After the organism is identified an appropriate antibiotic can be prescribed . Beginning antibiotic therapy before obtaining the sputum specimen may alter the results of the test.
A 12 year old with asthma wants to exercise. Which of the following activities should the nurse suggest to improve her breathing? A.Soccer B.Swimming C.Track D.Gymnastics
B.Swimming Swimming is appropriate for this child because it requires controlled breathing, assists in maintaining cardiac health enhances skeletal muscle strength and promotes ventilation and perfusion. Stop and start activities such as soccer, track and gymnastics commonly trigger symptoms in asthmatic clients.
Which of the following would be an appropriate expected outcome for an elderly client recovering from bacterial pneumonia? Pick the BEST one! A.A respiratory rate of 25 to 30 breaths / minute B.The ability to perform activities of daily living without dyspnea C.A maximum loss of 5 to 10 lb. of body weight D.Chest pain that is minimized by splinting the rib cage
B.The ability to perform activities of daily living without dyspnea Should be no pain, no tachypnea, and no weight loss if they are recovering
The client with asthma should be taught which of the following is one of the most common precipitating factors of an acute asthma attack? A.Occupational exposure to toxins B.Viral respiratory infections C.Exposure to cigarette smoke D.Exercising in cold temperatures
B.Viral respiratory infections The most common precipitator of asthma attacks is viral respiratory infection. Clients with asthma should avoid people who have the flu or cold and should get yearly flu vaccinations. Environmental exposure to toxins or heavy particles matter can trigger asthma attacks however, far fewer asthmatics are exposed to such toxins than are exposed to viruses. Cigarette smoke can also trigger asthma attacks but to lesser extent than viral respiratory infections. Some asthmatic attacks are triggered by exercising in cold weather.
The client with asthma should be taught which of the following is the most common precipitating factors of an acute asthma attack? A.Occupational exposure to toxins B.Viral respiratory infections C.Exposure to cigarette smoke D.Exercising in cold temperatures
B.Viral respiratory infections The most common precipitator of asthma attacks is viral respiratory infection. Clients with asthma should avoid people who have the flu or cold and should get yearly flu vaccinations. Environmental exposure to allergic triggers for the client i.e.( animals, dust, grass, dust mites etc.) or heavy particulates matter can trigger asthma attacks . Cigarette smoke can also trigger asthma attacks, but to lesser extent than viral respiratory infections. Some asthmatic attacks are triggered by exercising in cold weather.
When teaching a client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to conserve energy the nurse should teach the client to lift objects: A.While inhaling through an open mouth B.While exhaling through pursed lips C.After exhaling but before inhaling D.While takin a deep breath and holding it
B.While exhaling through pursed lips Exhaling requires less energy than inhaling. Therefore, lifting while exhaling saves energy and reduces perceived dyspnea. Pursing the lips prolongs exhalation and provides the client with more control over breathing. Lifting after exhaling but before inhaling is similar to lifting with the breath held. This should not be recommended because it is similar to the Valsalva maneuver, which can stimulate cardiac arrhythmias.
Pharmacologic therapy for COPD _________ will keep the alveoli open and increase exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide more effectively/ improve airflow and reduce air trapping and especially may be used when asthma is a major component of COPD. It improves symptoms and exercise tolerance and may reduce the severity of exacerbations
Bronchodilators
Which measure may increase complications for a client with COPD? A - Decrease oxygen supply B - Administration of antibiotics C - Increased oxygen supply D - Administration of antitussive agents
C - Increased oxygen supply
A client's diagnosis of cystic fibrosis was made 13 years ago and he has since been hospitalized several times. On the latest admission the client has labored respirations fatigue, malnutrition and failure to thrive. Which nursing actions are most important initially? A.Placing the client on bed rest and ordering a blood gas analysis B.Ordering a high calorie, high protein low fat vitamin enriched diet and pancreatic granules C.Applying an oximeter and initiating respiratory therapy D.Inserting an IV line and initiating antibiotic therapy
C. Applying an oximeter and initiating respiratory therapy Clients commonly die from respiratory problems. The mucus in the lungs is tenacious and difficult to expel leading to lung infections and interference with oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. The client will likely need supplemental oxygen and respiratory treatments to maintain adequate gas exchange, as identified by oximeter reading. The child will be on bed rest due to respiratory distress. However although blood gases will probably be ordered the oximeter readings will be used to determine oxygen deficit and are therefore more of a priority. Diet high in calories, proteins and vitamins with pancreatic granules added to all foods ingested will increase nutrient absorptions and help the malnutrition. Inserting an IV to administer antibiotic is important and can be done after ensuring adequate respiratory function.
An adolescent complains of chest pain and goes to the school nurse. The nurse determines the teenager has a history of asthma but has had no problems for years. Which of the following should the nurse do next? A.Call the adolescent's parent B.Have the adolescent lie down for 30 minutes; obtain a peak flow reading C.Obtain a peak flow reading D.Give two puffs of a short acting bronchodilator
C. Obtain a peak flow reading Complaint of chest pain in children and adolescents as are rarely cardiac. With a history of asthma the most likely cause of the chest pain is related to the asthma. So the nurse should check the adolescents peak flow reading( blow out) to evaluate the status of the air flow. Calling the parents would be appropriate, but this would be done after the nurse obtains the peak flow reading and additional assessment data. Having the adolescent lie down may be an option. But more data need to be collected to help establish a possible cause. Because the adolescent has not experienced any asthma problems for a long time it would be inappropriate for the nurse to administer a short acting bronchodilator at this time
A client with acute asthma is prescribed short term corticosteroid therapy. Which is the rationale for the use of steroids in clients with asthma? A.Corticosteroids promote bronchodilation B.Corticosteroids act as an expectorant C.Corticosteroids have an anti-inflammatory effect. D.Corticosteroids prevent development of respiratory infections
C.Corticosteroids have an anti-inflammatory effect. Corticosteroids have an anti-inflammatory effect and act to decrease edema in the bronchial airways and decrease mucus secretion. Corticosteroids DO NOT have a bronchodilator effect
A nurse notes that a client has kyphosis and generalized muscle atrophy. Which of the following problems is a priority when the nurse develops a nursing plan of care? A.Infection B.Confusion C.Ineffective coughing and deep breathing D.Difficulty chewing solid foods
C.Ineffective coughing and deep breathing In kyphosis of the thoracic spine bends forward with convexity of the curve in a posterior direction, making effective coughing and deep breathing difficult. Although the client may develop other problems because respiratory status deteriorates when pulmonary secretions are not adequately cleared from airway and can lead to pneumonia. Ineffective coughing and deep breathing should receive priority attention.
Which of the following mental status changes may occur when a client with pneumonia is first experiencing hypoxia? A.Coma B.Apathy C.Irritability D.Depression
C.Irritability Hypoxia: irritability , restlessness, or anxiety as INITIAL mental status changes; as the hypoxia becomes more severe patient may become confused and combative. Coma is a LATE manifestation
The nurse teaches a client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to assess for signs and symptoms of right sided heart failure. Which of the following signs and symptoms should be included in the teaching plan? A.Clubbing of nail beds B.Hypertension C.Peripheral edema D.Increased appetite
C.Peripheral edema Right sided heart failure (Cor Pulmonale) = complication of COPD that occurs because of pulmonary hypertension. Signs and symptoms of right sided heart failure include peripheral edema, jugular venous distention, hepatomegaly and weight gain due to increased fluid volume (more in perfusion unit) Clubbing of nail beds is associated with conditions of chronic hypoxemia. Hypertension is associated with left sided heart failure. Clients with heart failure have decreased appetites.
The nurse administers theophylline (Theo-Dur) to a client. To evaluate the effectiveness of this medication, which of the following drug actions should the nurse anticipate? A.Suppression of the clients respiratory infection B.Decrease in bronchial secretions C.Relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle D.Thinning of tenacious purulent sputum
C.Relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle Theophylline (Theo-dur) is a bronchodilator administered to relax airways and decrease dyspnea. Theophylline is not used to treat infections and does not decrease or thin secretions.
When preparing the teaching plan for the mother of a child with asthma, which of the following should the nurse include as signs to alert the mother that her child is having an asthma attack? A.A Secretion of thin, copious mucus. B.Tight , productive cough C.Wheezing an expiration D.Temperature of 99.4 F.
C.Wheezing an expiration Asthma attack typically demonstrates wheezing on expiration initially. This results from air moving through narrowed airways secondary to broncho- constriction. The child's expiratory phase is normally longer than the inspiratory phase. Expiratory is passive as the diaphragm relaxes. During as asthma attack, secretion are thick and are not usually expelled until the bronchioles are more relaxed. At the beginning of the asthma attack the cough will be tight but not productive. Fever is not always present unless there is an infection that may have triggered the attack.
•All patients with ___ should be counseled to quit smoking •Unlike in ___, surgery is not curative in ___ •Meds for symptom relief: •Antidiarrheal agents •Anticholinergic antispasmodic agents •Fecal transplant ( future?)
CD UC CD
Sticky buildup of mucus: lungs, pancreas, other organs. Mucus clogs airways/ traps bacteria=infections, extensive lung damage, eventually, respiratory failure. Pancreas: mucus prevents release of digestive enzymes= body unable to break down food/ absorb vital nutrients. What is this?
CF
A client who is diagnosed with ______ may have alterations in both oxygenation and perfusion. Clinical manifestations associated with a decrease in perfusion include acrocyanosis and confusion,a weak pulse and blue nailbeds would also indicate poor perfusion. _______ is an abnormal breath sound and may be heard, but it is not an indication of poor perfusion.
COPD wheezing
The inflammatory process in _______ ______ begins with crypt inflammation and abscesses, which develop into small, focal ulcers. These initial lesions then deepen into longitudinal and transverse ulcers, separated by edematous patches, creating a characteristic cobblestone appearance to the affected bowel. Fistulas, fissures, and abscesses form as the inflammation extends into the peritoneum. Granulomas can occur in lymph nodes, the peritoneum, and through the layers of the bowel in about half of patients. Diseased bowel segments are sharply demarcated by adjoining areas of normal bowel tissue. These are called skip lesions, from which the label regional enteritis is derived. As the disease advances, the bowel wall thickens and becomes fibrotic, and the intestinal lumen narrows. Diseased bowel loops sometimes adhere to other loops surrounding them (Smith & Harris, 2014; Walfish, 2016).
Chrons disease
- fatigue - chronic cough - recurrent URI - Thick, sticky mucus - chronic hypoxia - clubbing, barrel chest - decreased absorption of vitamins and enzymes - abdominal distention - decreased digestive enzymes - rectal prolapse - fatty, stinky stool (Steatorrhea) These are symptoms of what?
Cystic fibrosis
Maintaining respiratory function •Exercise, airway clearance (CPT, oscillating chest vests) Managing infection •Frequent courses of antibiotics, immunizations Promoting optimal nutrition and exercise •Well-balanced diet; supplement fat-soluble vitamins •Pancreatic enzymes supplements (decrease fat) •Given at each meal (can be taken orally or put on food) Preventing gastrointestinal blockage •Hyperosmolar enemas •Isotonic fluid lavage of intestines (oral or NG tube) This is all medical management of what disease?
Cystic fibrosis
Which of the following diets would be most appropriate for a client with COPD? A.Low fat low cholesterol diet B.Bland soft diet C.Low sodium diet D.High calorie high protein diet
D. High calorie/ high protein diet High calorie, high protein meals to maintain nutritional status and prevent weight loss that results from the increased work of breathing. The client should be encouraged to eat small frequent meals. A low fat, low cholesterol diet is indicated for clients with coronary artery disease. The client with COPD does not necessarily need to follow a sodium restricted diet unless otherwise medically indicated.
A 34 year old female with a history of asthma is admitted to the emergency department. The nurse notes the client is dyspneic with a respiratory rate of 35 breaths minute, nasal flaring and use of accessory muscles. Auscultation of the lung fields reveals greatly diminished breath sounds. Based on these findings, which action should the nurse take to initiate care of the client? A.Initiate oxygen therapy reassess the client in 10 minutes B.Draw blood for an arterial blood gas analysis and send the client for a chest X-ray C.Encourage the client to relax and breathe slowly through the mouth D.Administer bronchodilators
D.Administer bronchodilators In an acute asthma attack - diminished or absent breath sounds/ reduced wheeze (no air movement heard) can be an ominous sign indicating lack of air movement in the lungs and impending respiratory failure. The client requires immediate intervention with inhaled bronchodilators, IV corticosteroids and possibly IV theophylline. Administering oxygen and reassessing the client 10 minutes later would delay needed medical attention as would drawing blood and obtaining a chest x-ray. It would be futile to encourage the client to relax and breathe slowly without providing the necessary pharmacologic intervention
Which of the following would be an appropriate expected outcome for an adult client with well controlled asthma? A.Chest X-ray demonstrates minimal hyperinflation B.Temperature remains lower than 100 F C.Arterial blood gas analysis demonstrates a decrease in PaO2 D.Breath sounds are clear
D.Breath sounds are clear Between attacks, breath sounds should be clear on auscultation with good air flow present throughout lung fields. Chest x-rays should be normal. The client should remain afebrile. Arterial blood gases should be normal. What would the pH be if there are problems? (Remember last week!)
The nurse assesses the respiratory status of a client who is experiencing an exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) secondary to an upper respiratory tract infection. Which of the following findings would be expected? A.Normal breath sounds B.Prolonged inspiration C.Normal chest movement D.Coarse crackles and rhonchi
D.Coarse crackles and rhonchi Exacerbations of COPD are commonly caused by respiratory infections. Coarse crackles and rhonchi (low pitched, large airways on inspiration/blocked) would be auscultated as air moves through airways obstructed with secretions. In COPD, breath sounds are diminished because of an enlarged anteroposterior diameter of the chest. Expirations, not inspiration, becomes prolonged. Chest movement is decreased as lungs become over distended.
When teaching the parents of an older infant with cystic fibrosis about the type of diet the child should consume, which of the following would be most appropriate? A.Low protein diet B.High fat diet C.Low carbohydrate diet D.High calorie diet
D.High calorie diet CF affects the exocrine glands. Mucus is thick and tenacious, sticking to the walls of the pancreatic and bile ducts and eventually causing obstruction. Because the difficulty with digestion and absorption a high calorie high protein high carbohydrate moderate fat diet is indicated.
A patient who has ulcerative colitis says to the nurse, "I can't take this anymore! I'm constantly in pain, and I can't leave my room because I need to stay by the toilet. I don't know how to deal with this. "Based on these comments , an appropriate nursing diagnosis for this client would be: A.Impaired physical mobility related to fatigue B.Disturbed thought processes related to pain C.Social Isolation related to chronic fatigue D.Ineffective coping related to chronic abdominal pain
D.Ineffective coping related to chronic abdominal pain These patients may become apprehensive and upset about the frequency of stools and the abdominal cramping. During these exacerbations they need emotional support and encouragement to verbalize their feelings about their chronic health concerns and assistance in developing effective coping methods. The client has not expressed feeling of fatigue or isolation or demonstrated disturbed thought processes.
You are more likely to acquire pneumonia for all the following reasons, EXCEPT: A.Smoking B.History of chronic lung disease C.Antibiotic use within the past 3 months D.Living in cold environment
D.Living in cold environment
Which of the following measures would most likely be successful in reducing pleuritic chest pain. Which of the following describes pleuritic chest pain? A.Encourage the client to breathe shallowly B.Have the client practice abdominal breathing C.Offer the client incentive spirometry D.Teach the client to splint the rib cage when coughing
D.Teach the client to splint the rib cage when coughing Pleuritic pain is triggered by chest movement and is particularly severe during coughing. Splinting the chest wall will help reduce the discomfort of coughing; deep breathing is essential to prevent further atelectasis . Abdominal breathing is not effective in decreasing pleuritic pain. Incentive spirometry facilitates effective deep breathing but does not decrease pleuritic chest pain.
Which of the following outcomes would be appropriate for a client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who has been discharged to home? A.The client promises to do pursed - lip breathing at home B.The client states actions to reduce pain C.The client states that he will use oxygen via a nasal cannula at 5 L. minute D.The client agrees to call the physician if dyspnea on exertion increases
D.The client agrees to call the physician if dyspnea on exertion increases Dyspnea on exertions indicates that the client may be experiencing complications of COPD Pain is not a common symptom of COPD. Clients with COPD use low flow oxygen supplementation 1 to 2 L min to avoid suppressing the respiratory drive which for these clients is stimulated by hypoxia

Pneumonia _____ may also occur in patients with reactive airway disease. Because of hypoventilation, a ventilation-perfusion Venous blood entering the pulmonary circulation passes through the underventilated area and travels to the left side of the heart poorly oxygenated. The mixing of oxygenated and unoxygenated or poorly oxygenated blood eventually results in arterial hypoxemia.
bronchospasm
Unlike in UC, ______ disease can affect any portion of the GI tract, from the oropharynx to rectum, often with patchy distribution of lesions. Due to this, symptoms tend to be less focal than in UC and patients often present later in disease Common presenting symptoms include abdominal pain, bloody or watery diarrhea, incontinence, fistulas and perianal symptoms. Extracolonic GI involvement associated with aphthous ulcers, dysphagia, upper abdominal pain and vomiting. Scar tissue and the formation of granulomas interfere with the ability of the intestine to transport products of upper intestinal digestion through the constricted lumen, resulting in crampy abdominal pain. There is abdominal tenderness and spasm. Because eating stimulates intestinal peristalsis, the crampy pains occur after meals. To avoid these bouts of crampy pain, the patient tends to limit food intake, reducing the amounts and types of food to such a degree that normal nutritional requirements are often not met. As a result, weight loss, malnutrition, and secondary anemia occur (NIDDK, 2016b).

IBD ENHANCING ______ MEASURES: Because the patient may feel isolated, helpless, and out of control, understanding and emotional support are essential. The patient may respond to stress in a variety of ways that may alienate others (e.g., anger, denial, social self-isolation).The nurse needs to recognize that the patient's behavior may be affected by a number of factors. Any patient suffering the discomforts of frequent bowel movements and rectal soreness is anxious, discouraged, and unhappy. It is important to develop a relationship with the patient that supports their attempts to cope with these stressors. It is also important to communicate that the patient's feelings are understood by encouraging the patient to talk and express their feelings and to discuss any concerns. Stress reduction measures that may be used include relaxation techniques, visualization, breathing exercises, and biofeedback. Professional counseling may be needed to help the patient and family manage issues associated with chronic illness and resulting disability.

immunizations RSV
Pharmacology of IBD _____________: TNF inhibitor i.e humira ( Anti-TNF-a therapy)(biologic therapy ) NF inhibitors are antibodies -made in a lab from human or animal tissue. Once they're put into your blood, they cause a reaction in your immune system that blocks inflammation. Your immune system makes a substance called tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Usually, your body keeps your TNF levels steady. But if you have an autoimmune disease like IBD, something goes wrong. You start making too much TNF, and that leads to inflammation. / Given in an injection most times.
immunomodulators
Techniques used to instruct a client to control the breathing pattern include pursed-lip breathing, abdominal breathing, and relaxation such as visualization and meditation. The following activities may enhance breathing pattern for the COPD client: Providing adequate rest periods prevents fatigue and reduces oxygen demands.

IBD MAINTAINING OPTIMAL ______; Parenteral nutrition is indicated in patients who have Crohn's disease with severe malnutrition and intolerance to enteral nutrition and who are expected to likely remain intolerant to enteral nutrition for more than 1 to 2 weeks (Smith & Harris, 2014). With parenteral nutrition, the nurse maintains an accurate record of fluid I&O as well as the daily weight. The patient should gain 0.5 kg (1.1 lb) daily during parenteral nutrition therapy. Because parenteral nutrition is very high in glucose and can cause hyperglycemia, blood glucose levels are monitored every 6 hours. Once the symptoms of any exacerbation have diminished and the patient has gained or stabilized weight, parenteral nutrition is stopped and the patient is advanced on oral elemental feedings. Elemental feedings are high in protein and low in fat and residue. They are digested primarily in the jejunum, do not stimulate intestinal secretions, and allow the bowel to continue to rest. The nurse notes intolerance if the patient exhibits nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal distention. See Chapter 44 for further discussion of enteral and parenteral nutrition.If oral foods are tolerated, small, frequent, low-residue feedings are given to avoid overdistending the stomach and stimulating peristalsis. The patient must restrict activity to conserve energy, reduce peristalsis, and reduce caloric requirements.p. 1334p. 133

pneumonia
Risk factor : advanced age, because of possible depressed cough and glottic reflexes and nutritional depletion Preventative : Promote frequent turning, early ambulation and mobilization, effective coughing, breathing exercises, and nutritious diet What is this a risk factor for what?
pneumonia
Signs and symptoms of _______ may also depend on a patient's underlying condition. Different signs occur in patients with conditions such as cancer, and in those who are undergoing treatment with immunosuppressant medications, which decrease the resistance to infection. Such patients have fever, crackles, and physical findings that indicate consolidation of lung tissue, including increased tactile fremitus (vocal vibration detected on palpation), percussion dullness, bronchial breath sounds, egophony (when auscultated, the spoken "E" becomes a loud, nasal-sounding "A"), and whispered pectoriloquy (whispered sounds are easily auscultated through the chest wall). These changes occur because sound is transmitted better through solid or dense tissue (consolidation) than through normal air-filled tissue; these sounds are described in Chapter 20. Purulent sputum or slight changes in respiratory symptoms may be the only sign of pneumonia in patients with COPD. Determining whether an increase in symptoms is an exacerbation of the underlying disease process or an additional infectious process may be difficult.
pneumonia
Some patients exhibit an upper respiratory tract infection (nasal congestion, sore throat), and the onset of symptoms of __________ is gradual and nonspecific. The predominant symptoms may be headache, low-grade fever, pleuritic pain, myalgia, rash, and pharyngitis. After a few days, mucoid or mucopurulent sputum is expectorated. In severe pneumonia, the cheeks are flushed and the lips and nail beds demonstrate central cyanosis (a late sign of poor oxygenation [hypoxemia]). The patient may exhibit orthopnea (shortness of breath when reclining or in the supine position), preferring to be propped up or sitting in bed leaning forward (orthopneic position) in an effort to achieve adequate gas exchange without coughing or breathing deeply. Appetite is poor, and the patient is diaphoretic and tires easily. Sputum is often purulent; however, this is not a reliable indicator of the etiologic agent. Rusty, blood-tinged sputum may be expectorated with streptococcal (pneumococcal), staphylococcal, and Klebsiella pneumonia.

Half the deaths from bacteremic pneumococcal _______ occur in people ages 18-64. seniors, hospitalization for pneumonia has a greater risk of death compared to any of the other top 10 reasons for hospitalization. Interesting fact: The death rate from ______in the US has had little or no improvement since antibiotics became widespread more than half a century ago. We are not yet winning the battle against pneumonia _____ was first described by Hippocrates [5] (460-370 BC). The first descriptions of its clinical and pathological features were made 22 centuries later in 1819 by Laennec [6] while Rokitansky [7] in 1842 was the first to differentiate lobar and bronchopneumonia. During the next 47 years at least 28 terms were used to identify _______ [8], and by 1929 the total number of terms listed in the Manual of the International List of Causes of Death had grown to 94, with 12 sub-terms [9]..

pneumonia
_______ varies in its signs and symptoms depending on the type, causal organism, and presence of underlying disease. However, it is not possible to diagnose a specific form or classification of pneumonia by clinical manifestations alone. The patient with streptococcal (pneumococcal) pneumonia usually has a sudden onset of chills, rapidly rising fever (38.5° to 40.5°C [101° to 105°F]), and pleuritic chest pain that is aggravated by deep breathing and coughing. The patient is severely ill, with marked tachypnea (25 to 45 breaths/min), accompanied by other signs of respiratory distress (e.g., shortness of breath and the use of accessory muscles in respiration) (Weinberger, Cockrill & Mandel, 2014).
