Xanthine

This medication is used to treat bronchoconstriction associated with COPD by causing bronchodilation by increasing the ability of the cilia to clear mediction.

Xanthines

Bronchodilators

act as sympathetic nervous system (SNS) adrenergic agonist; which dilates constricted bronchi and bronchioles by relaxing smooth muscles.

Asthma

Irritants to bronchial tree cause bronchoconstriction, resulting in narrowed inflamed airways, dyspnea, and mucous production - all of which are reversible

Is a condition in which the heart loses the ability to pump enough blood to the body's tissues.

Is a passive process mainly caused by elastic recoil of the diaphragm relaxation of the intercostal muscles, requires little to no work.

Is caused by temporary imbalance between the coronary arteries ability to supply oxygen and the cardiac muscle demand for oxygen.

Is indicated by extreme inspiration effort with no chest movement

partial obstruction

Is indicated by low-pitched snoring during inhalation

Compliance

Is the ability of the lungs to distend or expand in response to increase intraalveolar pressure.

Normal

Pace maker cell decrease in the aging adult

Normal

Stuff and less complaint left ventricle in the aging adult

Normal

Hypoventilation

Occurs when the alveolar ventilation is inadequate to meet the alveoli, less lung is ventilated.

List three nursing interventions for someone on oxygen therapy:

Provide nasal care. Check pressure points. Provide oral care every 8 hrs.

List 5 S/S of heart failure

Pulmonary congestion. Adventitious breath sounds. SOB. Distended neck veins. Peripheral vasoconstriction.

After constant use of nasal spray what is likely to occur ?

Rebound congestion

Large, continous doses of beta2 -adrenergic agonist may cause this side effect in the older adult

Tachycardia

Tidal volume

The amount of air taken into the lungs in a single breath.

Glucocorticoids

Hemoglobin

The oxygen carrying component of blood.

Clients taking antihistamines need to be monitored for signs and symptoms of ?

Urinary dysfunction

List nursing interventions for pneumonia

Assist with coughing. Deep breathing. Incentive spirometer. Encourage fluids. Monitor I&O

Atorvent

Headache, myalgia, lethargy are all assessment findings with this type of pneumonia.

Bacterial

Pneumonia

Bacterial, viral, parasitic or fungal infection that causes inflammation of the alveolar spaces.

Inspiration

Inhalation

Unstable angina

Chest pain at rest or exertion

Two major types of angina

Chronic stable. Unstable.

Expiration

Exhalation

Beta2-adenergic agonists

Hemoptysis

Bloody sputum

Cyanosis

Blue discoloration of the skin caused by desaturation in hemoglobin.

Hyperventilation

Breathing too fast that leads to the elimination of CO2.

Claudication

Heart rate x Stroke volume

Cardiac output

List three S/S of hypoxia:

Change in mental status. Restlessness. Dizziness.

Chronic stable angina

Chest discomfort with activity or stress

List assessment findings for COPD

Clubbing of the fingernails. Cough. Dyspnea. Barrel chest. Weight loss.

The most common cause Of URI?

Common cold

CNS

Controls RR, depth, and rhythm.

Signs of left sided heart failure

Crackles or wheezing, S3-S4, nocturia at night, frothy pink sputum, decreased CO, hacking cough

Stimulate alpha-adrenergic receptors producing vasoconstriction in the nasal capillaries

Decongestants

Kussmaul

Deep labored breathing

Emphysema

Destruction of elastin alters alveolar walls and narrows airways, resulting in enlargement of air spaces distal to terminal bronchioles, trapped air, and coalesced alveoli

What is the main function of the lungs?

Gas exchange

Dexamethasone is what?

Glucocorticoids
