THE PT IS EXPERIENCING SOME FORM OF RESPIRATORY DISTRESS
WHAT WILL THE NURSE SEEN UPON PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT IF A PATIENT IS USING
ACCESSORY MUSCLES TO BREATHE?
USE OF NECK, CHEST, ABDOMINAL MUSCLES WHEN BREATHING
MANY CHANGES OCCUR IN THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM AS A PERSON AGES. WHAT IMPACT DO
THESE CHANGES HAVE ON THE FUNCTION OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM OF AN OLDER
ADULT?
ALVEOLAR SURFACE AREA DECREASES, ABILITY TO COUGH DECREASES, ELASTICITY
DECREASES, MUSCLE ATROPHY
WHAT ARE KEY INTERVENTIONS TO PROMOTE HEALTH IN THE OLDER POPULATION RELATED
TO THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM?
ENCOURAGE PULMONARY HYGIENE, ENCOURAGE UPRIGHT POSITION, ENCOURAGE
FREQUENT ORAL HYGIENE
WHAT DRUGS ARE CONTRAINDICATED DUE TO CV AND MENTAL HEALTH RISKS?
BUPROPION AND CHANTIX (MANIA, HALLUCINATION), NICOTINE PATCHES (STROKE, MI)
,IDENTIFY STRATEGIES TO HELP A PERSON STOP SMOKING
WRITE PROS AND CONS, SET A STOP DATE AND STICK TO IN, SEEK SUPPORT, REMOVE
STIMULUS AND REPLACE, FIND HAND BUSYING ACTIVITIES, KEEP LOW CAL SNACKS, POSITIVE
COMMENTS, 8 GLASSES OF WATER PER DAY
HIGH FLOW NASAL CANNULA
30-60 L/MIN, HEAT AND HUMIDITY PROVIDE HIGHER CONCENTRATION, LESS TISSUE TRAUMA
AND IMPROVE END EXPIRATORY VOLUME
VENTURI MASK
MOST ACCURATE, HUMIDIFICATION NOT NEEDED, BEST FOR PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC LUNG
DISEASES
LOW FLOW NASAL CANNULA
1-6 L/MIN, APPLY WATER SOLUBLE JELLY TO NARES PRN
SIMPLE FACE MASK
5-8 L/MIN, SKIN CARE TO AREA COVERED BY MASK
PARTIAL REBREATHER MASK
6-11 L/MIN, KEEP RESERVOIR BAG INFLATED
WHAT COMPLICATIONS SHOULD THE NURSE MONITOR FOR FOLLOWING PLACEMENT OF A
TRACH?
TUBE OBSTRUCTION, DISLODGEMENT/DECANNULATION, PNEUMOTHORAX, SUBQ
EMPHYSEMA, BLEEDING, INFECTION
TRACHEOMALACIA S/S
, INCREASED AMT OF AIR REQUIRED IN CUFF TO MAINTAIN SEAL, LARGER TUBE IS REQUIRED
TO PREVENT AIR LEAK, FOOD PARTICLES SEEN IN TRACHEAL SECRETIONS, PT DOES NOT
RECEIVE SET TIDAL VOLUME ON VENTILATOR
TRACHEOMALACIA MANAGEMENT
NOTHING UNLESS BLEEDING OCCURS
TRACHEOMALACIA PREVENTION
USE AN UNCUFFED TUBE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, MONITOR CUFF PRESSURE AND AIR
VOLUMES CLOSELY AND DETECT CHANGES
TRACHEAL STENOSIS S/S
INCREASED COUGHING, INABILITY TO EXPECTORATE SECRETIONS, DYSPNEA, DIFFICULTY
TALKING
TRACHEAL STENOSIS MANAGEMENT
TRACHEAL DILATION, SURGICAL INTERVENTION
TRACHEAL STENOSIS PREVENTION
PREVENT PULLING OF AND TRACTION ON THE TUBE, PROPERLY SECURE THE TUBE, MAINTAIN
PROPER CUFF PRESSURE, MINIMIZE ORONASAL INTUBATION TIME
TRACHEOESOPHAGEAL FISTULA (TEF) S/S
FOOD PARTICLES IN TRACHEAL SECRETIONS, INCREASED AIR IN CUFF NEEDED TO ACHIEVE
SEAL, INCREASED COUGHING AND CHOKING WHILE EATING, DOES NOT RECEIVE SET TIDAL
VOLUME ON VENTILATOR
TEF MANAGEMENT
