MDC1 Exam 1, Rasmussen
5th level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs ANS: self-actualization
4th level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs ANS: Esteem
3ed level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs ANS: Belonging / Love
What is a priority when making an assessment? ANS: Physiological needs
What is pain ANS: Pain is the 5th vital sign, and it is subjective
Cutaneous Pain ANS: superficial pain usually involving the skin or subcutaneous tissue
neuropathic pain ANS: - diabetic neuropathy
- postherpetic neuralgia
- Tingling
- phantom limb pain
-Shooting numbness
- Burning Sensation
nociceptive pain ANS: acute pain; a pain sensation that results abruptly. the result of actual or potential
tissue damage or inflammation and is often categorized as being somatic or visceral. (ex. Stub toe,
dental procedures
somatic pain ANS: Pain that originates from skeletal muscles, ligaments, or joints.
,acute pain ANS: pain that is felt suddenly from injury, disease, trauma, or surgery
Chronic pain ANS: Enduring pain that does not decrease over time ( 6 months or longer) ; may occur in
muscles, joints, and the lower back, and may be caused by enlarged blood vessels
Radiating pain ANS: starts at the origin but extends to other locations. Example: pain from a sore throat
might extend from ear to head
Referred pain ANS: occurs in an area distant from the site of origin. Example: pain from a heart attack
might be felt in the left arm or jaw.
Transmission ANS: occurs as the electrical impulse travels along the nerve fibers, where
neurotransmitters regulate it
Transduction ANS: the conversion of painful stimuli to an electrical impulse tthe conversion of painful
stimuli to an electrical impulse through peripheral nerve fibers (nociceptors)hrough peripheral nerve
fibers (nociceptors)
Pain threshold ANS: the point at which a person feels pain
Pain tolerance ANS: the amount of pain a person is willing to bear
Perception of awareness of pain ANS: occurs in various areas of the brain, with influences from thought
and emotional processes
Modulation ANS: occurs in the spinal cord causing muscles to contract reflexively, moving the body
away from painful stimuli
, Substances that increase pain transmission and cause an inflammatory response ANS: substance p,
prostaglandins, bradykinin, histamine
Substances that decrease pain transmission and produce analgesia ANS: serotonin, endorphins
Subjective Data ANS: WHAT THE PATIENT FEELS
Objective Data ANS: WHAT CAN BE MEASURED
RICE ANS: Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation - most common first aid treatment of muscular injuries
Ice or Heat for muscle injuries ANS: Do not apply ice or heat directly to skin
Factors that affect sleep ANS: Insomnia, Narcolepsy, sleep apnea
Insomnia ANS: inability to get an adequate amount of sleep or feel rested. (most common,
acute/chronic/intermittent, woman and older adults more prone
Narcolepsy ANS: sudden attacks of sleep (uncontrollable) and at inappropriate times.
Sleep Apnea ANS: more than five breathing cessations lasting longer than 10 seconds per hour during
sleep, resulting in decreased arterial oxygen saturation levels. (can be central or obstructive)
Common Nutrition Methods ANS: oral/enteral/parenteral
Nutrition oral ANS: through the oral cavity, regular, pureed, mechanical soft, low residue, high fiber, low
sodium
5th level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs ANS: self-actualization
4th level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs ANS: Esteem
3ed level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs ANS: Belonging / Love
