ANSWERS 2025(GRADED A+) DETAILED ANSWERS!!
- ✔✔
0-10 pain scale - ✔✔
Accessory muscles - ✔✔Abdomen, neck and back- only used
to facilitate when breathing is difficult
,Acute pain - ✔✔Sudden onset, usually lasts less than 6
months, localized, identifiable cause, protective (warns of
actual or potential injury to tissues), can progress to chronic
pain if untreated, usually resolves with treatment. Increased
HR, RR< BP, restless and anxious, reports pain, pain behaviors
Adjuvants - ✔✔Drugs originally created to treat conditions
other than pain
Adverse event - ✔✔Unintended harm by an act of commission
or omission rather than as a result of disease process
Aeration - ✔✔How much air is in their lungs
Airway resistance - ✔✔If they are choking on something they
have a lot of airway resistance
Altruism - ✔✔The selfless giving of others
Apnea - ✔✔No breathing
,Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) - ✔✔Examines arterial blood to
determine pressure exerted by oxygen and carbon dioxide,
measures adequacy of oxygenation
Artificial airways - ✔✔Oral airway, endotracheal and tracheal
airway, tracheotomy, tracheostomy
Assess during suctioning - ✔✔Hypoxemia, heart rate,
sputum/results, assess for pain
Asthma - ✔✔Obstrutive airway disease, hypersensitive
response results in bronchospasm. Symptoms: episodic
wheezing, dyspnea, nighttime cough. Diagnosed with
spirometry, quick relief and long term medications
Atelectasis - ✔✔Collapse of the alveoli that prevents the
normal exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
Atelectasis (as a condition) - ✔✔Incomplete expansion of lung
or portion of lung. Symptoms: tachypnea, tachycardia,
dyspnea, hypoxemia. Diagnosed with radiology studies.
, Ambulation, deep breathing and body positioning will help to
resolve
Autonomy - ✔✔The patient has the right to determine their
own course of healthcare
Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure - ✔✔Has a certain pressure
set for inspiration and certain pressure set for expiration,
usually used with oyxgen
Biots respirations - ✔✔Very irregular, rates normal but
varying depths and long periods of apnea. A sign of severe
brain damage
Blunt percussion - ✔✔
Bradypnea - ✔✔Slow breathing
Breakthrough pain - ✔✔Exceeds the analgesic effect of long-
acting meds
