Rasmussen - MDC III - Exam 2 REVIEW WITH CORRECT SOLUTIONS

Therapeutic Communication Qs... - never confirm/deny anything "tell me more about it" What precautions are we using for tuberculosis? (SATA?) - *airborne* - N95 - negative pressure room Medications to treat tuberculosis - *antimicrobials* - isoniazid, - rifampin - pyrazinamide - ethambutol **they will have to take these "long-term" (6-9 mo.)** Patient Education: *Long-term antibiotics* (SATA?) - - no ETOH - medication compliance - stick with the doses, continue all the way through - f/u with doctor appointments How do you diagnose tuberculosis? - - sputum culture **PPD test is NOT for diagnosing, it does NOT mean active exposure** What do antimicrobials do to the body? And what patient education goes along with that? (SATA?) - *hepatotoxic* - no ETOH - no drugs - eat a diet with quality protein; iron; vitamins A, B, C, and E; and abundant fresh produce - no other use of hepatotoxic medications __________ is a chronic intermittent airway obstruction caused by inflammation of the airway tissues that results in **bronchoconstriction** ▪ Intermittent and **reversible** airflow obstruction affecting airways only, **not alveoli​​** - asthma I think this is about *status asthmaticus*: A patient comes in with asthma...you listen to their lungs and they have lung sounds...then you lose lung sounds...what does that mean? What do we do next? - complete airway obstruction intubation/tracheotomy....keep that airway patent - priority! What can exacerbate asthma? "A good education question...avoid triggers!" (SATA?) - ▪ pollution ▪ dust ▪ smoke ▪ fire places ▪ pet dander
