What are the two major categories of lower respiratory tract disorders. - ANSWER Chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and restrictive pulmonary disease
COPD is caused by airway obstruction which causes.... - ANSWER increased airway resistance of
airflow to lung tissues.
causes a decrease in total lung capacity as a result of fluid accumulation or loss of elasticity of the
lung. - ANSWER Restrictive lung disease
What is the definition of Asthma - ANSWER inflammatory disorder of the airway walls associated
with a varying amount of airway obstruction
When activated by stimuli, the bronchial airways become inflamed and edematous, leading to
constriction of air passages. This process is related to which lower respiratory tract disorder? -
ANSWER Asthma
Chronic bronchitis definition - ANSWER Progressive lung disease caused by smoking or chronic lung
infections
Bronchial inflammation and excessive mucous secretion result in airway obstruction. This process is
related to which lower respiratory tract disorder? - ANSWER Chronic bronchitis
The bronchioles become obstructed by the breakdown of the epithelium of the bronchial mucosa.
This process is related to which disorder? - ANSWER Bronchiectasis
What may result from the bronchioles becoming obstructed by the breakdown of the epithelium of
the bronchial mucosa? - ANSWER Tissue fibrosis may result
, Exposure to an allergen results in... - ANSWER bronchial hyper-responsiveness, epithelial shedding of
the bronchial wall, mucous gland hyperplasia and hypersecretion, leakage of plasma that leads to
swelling, and bronchoconstriction
Increase cAMP, causing dilation of the bronchioles - ANSWER Sympathomimetics
In ______________________ the nonselective sympathomimetic epinephrine is given
subcutaneously to promote bronchodilation and elevate blood pressure. - ANSWER an acute
bronchospasm caused by anaphylaxis from an allergic reaction,
Selective beta2-adrenergic agonists are given by aerosol for... - ANSWER bronchospasm associated
with chronic asthma or COPD,
These drugs act primarily on the beta2 receptors; therefore, the side effects are less severe -
ANSWER Selective beta2-adrenergic agonists
If the beta2 agonist is given by a metered-dose inhaler (MDI) what is important to include in patient
education? - ANSWER Proper use of a spacer device
may be attached to the inhaler to improve drug delivery to the lung with less deposition in the
mouth - ANSWER Spacer
The side effects and adverse reactions of epinephrine include: - ANSWER tremors, dizziness,
hypertension, tachycardia, heart palpitations, cardiac dysrhythmias, and angina. The patient needs to
be closely monitored when the medication is administered.
The side effects associated with beta2-adrenergic drugs include: - ANSWER tremors, headaches,
nervousness, increased pulse rate, and palpitations.
may increase blood glucose levels, so patients with diabetes should be taught to closely monitor
their serum glucose levels. - ANSWER beta2 agonists
Tiotropium is an anticholinergic drug used for... - ANSWER maintenance treatment of
bronchospasms associated with COPD.
Progressive lung disease where the terminal bronchioles become plugged with mucus, causing a loss
in the fiber and elastin network in the alveoli. - ANSWER Emphysema
