PN 2003 - Midterm
causes of COPD - answer smoking, occupational chemicals/dust, infections, heredity
and aging
COPD symptoms - answer decreased lung elasticity, activity of cilia, cough reflex,
respiratory drive; lower respiratory muscle strength and endurance, oxygen uptake
age-related changes on respiratory health - answer decreased lung elasticity, activity of
cilia, cough reflex, respiratory drive; lower respiratory muscle strength and endurance,
oxygen uptake
respiratory conditions related to aging – answer COPD, Pneumonia, influenza, lung
cancer, lung abcess
Pneumonia- Symptoms - answer- Fever - Rapid Pulse Rate - SOB - Chest pain that
increases with deep inspiration - Productive cough, yellowy/green, may have foul odor
What would you see in an Xray of a PT with Pnemonia? - answerwhite spots in the
lungs called infiltrates
What would you hear in a PT with Pneumonia - answer scattered crackles on
inspirations. (Sounds like wind)
What is happening in the aging body that makes a person more susceptible to
Pneumonia - answer*Bronchial pneumonia - common among older adults, one of
leading causes of death*
-High prevalence of respiratory disease that produces mucous formation
- lowered resistance to infection
- more like to aspiratory b.c of reduced sensitivity of pharygeal reflexes
- poor chest explansion and more shallow breathing due to age related changes to the
repiriatory system
- high incidence of conditions that reduce mobility
- greater likelihood for older adults to be hospitalized where they develop nosocomial
pneumonia
Is an adventitious breath sounds good or bad? - answerBAD
Is wheezing an adventitious breath sound? - answerYes, Wheezing = Bad!
When would you hear crackles in breath sounds? - answerScattered crackles when
listening to lungs during inspiration
, 5 types of pneumonia - answercommunity-acquired, hospital acquired, fungal,
aspiration, opportunistic
Pneumonia is a... - answer-Lower respiratory infection
-Fluid build up in lower respiratory track
osteoarthritis - answerdegenerative joint disease in which there is progressive
deterioration and abrasion of joint cartilage & with formation of new bone at the joint
surfaces
osteoporosis - answerbone condition characterized by low bone density an porous bone
ABCDs for detecting unhealthy moles - answerAsymmetry, Border Irregularity, Color,
Diameter
why do people lose height when they age? - answervertebrae/vertebrae discs become
thinner, bad posture (kyphosis), compression fracture due to osteoperosis
2 conditions that are not age related - answer1. pleural effusion 2. sudden onset
incontinence (condition related, UTI in older adults)
what area of the ear is affected with gradual hearing impairment? - answerinner ear
(hair on the area of corti)
what age-related changes happen to the heart - answerleft ventricle becomes thicker
which decreases the size of the heart chamber, myocardium becomes weaker with age
therefore needs to pump faster
what age-related changes influence nocturia - answershrinking bladder, less volume of
urine required to trigger stretch receptors
age-related circulatory issues - answervenous insufficiency, bony prominences cutting
off circulation, lack of exercise
Age related changes of the heart... - answer-Atherosclerotic Plaque
-Ischemic tissue
-Arterial stiffness/thickening
-senescent endothelial cells are enlarged, flat and refractory to changes in response to
sheer stress
What happens the muscles of the heart with age? - answerIt thickens!!!
-Heart rate decreases
-Arrythmias increase
What would cardiac disease do to the heart? - answerEnlarge it
