ANSWERS
◉ What test is done to confirm TB diagnosis?. Answer: Sputum
Culture
◉ Risk Factors for TB:. Answer: Risk Factors of TB: Close contact
with someone who has TB, immunocompromised, people with
preexisting conditions, substance abuse, people who do not have
access to proper medical care, immigration, healthcare worker,
living is overcrowded areas.
◉ CAP: Pneumonia. Answer: CAP: Community-acquired pneumonia
(CAP): Pneumonia occurring in the community or ≤48 hours after
hospital admission or institutionalization of patients who do not
meet the criteria for health care-associated pneumonia (HCAP)
◉ HAP: Pneumonia. Answer: HAP: Hospital acquired pneumonia
develops 48 hours or more after admission and does not appear to
be incubating at the time of admission
, ◉ VAP: Pneumonia. Answer: VAP: VAP can be thought of as a
subtype of HAP; however, in such cases, the patient has been
endotracheally intubated and has received mechanical ventilatory
support for at least 48 hours. VAP is a complication in as many as
28% of patient who require mechanical ventilation
◉ HCAP: Pneumonia. Answer: HCAP: Health care-associated
pneumonia (HCAP): Pneumonia occurring in a non- hospitalized
patient with extensive health care contact with one or more of the
following: acute care facility, nursing home, long-term care facility,
chemotherapy, wound care, dialysis
◉ What is found during percussion of the lungs in a patient with
pneumonia?. Answer: Percussion Assessment Findings: Dullness.
Dullness replaces resonance when fluid or solid tissue replaces air-
containing lung tissues, such as occurs with pneumonia, pleural
effusions, or tumors
◉ Reason for Peak Flow Meter and What results mean:. Answer: Use
of Peak Flow Meter Monitoring: Used to monitor severity of asthma.
Peak flow meters measure the highest airflow during a forced
expiration. The patient takes a deep breath and places lips around
the mouthpiece, and then exhales hard and fast.
Volume may be measured in color-coded zones: the green zone
signifies 80% to 100% of personal best; yellow, 60% to 80%; and
red, less than 60%. If peak flow falls below the red zone, the patient
