2. fail chest manifestations - ANS ✓Paradoxical movement of chest wall, respiratory
distress. May be associated hemothorax, pneumothorax, pulmonary contusion
3. fail chest treatment - ANS ✓O2 as needed to maintain O2 saturation, analgesia.
Stabilize flail segment with positive pressure ventilation (intubation and mechanical
PR
ventilation). Treat associated injuries. Surgical fixation.
4. hemothorax - ANS ✓blood in the pleural cavity
5. hemothorax symptoms - ANS ✓Dyspnea, diminished or absent breath sounds,
O
dullness to percussion, decreased Hgb, shock depending on blood volume lost
6. hemothorax treatment - ANS ✓Chest tube insertion with chest drainage system.
FD
Autotransfusion of collected blood, treatment of hypovolemia as necessary
7. pneumothorax - ANS ✓air in the pleural cavity
8. pneumothorax symptoms - ANS ✓Dyspnea, decreased movement of involved chest
O
wall, diminished or absent breath sounds on the affected side, hyperresonance to
percussion
C
9. pneumothorax treatment - ANS ✓chest tube placement
10. Superficial (first-degree) burn - ANS ✓burns that affect only the epidermis,
characterized by skin that is red but not blistered or actually burned through

organs of the skin
12. Third- and fourth-degree burns - ANS ✓Dry, waxy white, leathery, or hard skin.
Visible thrombosed vessels. Insensitivity to pain because of nerve destruction.
Possible involvement of muscles, tendons, and bones
, @PROFDOCDIGITALLIBRARIES
All skin elements and local nerve endings destroyed. Coagulation necrosis present. Surgical
intervention required for healing
13. Cranial Nerve 1: Olfactory - ANS ✓smell
14. Cranial Nerve II: Optic - ANS ✓-Function: sensory - carries impulse for vision
-Testing procedure: eye chart testing, visual field testing

inferior and medial rectus muscles of the eye and to the smooth muscle controlling
lens shape. Medial and vertical eye movements; sensory - proprioception of the eye
