amount of heat produced and retained in the body
✔✔What disease processes decrease heat production? - ✔✔Hypothyroidism,
hypoglycemia, and malnutrition
✔✔What medications that decrease enviromental awareness to extreme
temperatures.... - ✔✔Barbiturates, tranquilizers, and antidepressants can increase risk
of hypothermia.
✔✔Can alchohol increase the risk of hypothermia? If so, how? - ✔✔It decreases
environmental awareness and, at the same time, increases vasodilation with resulting in
heat loss.
✔✔What is one of the first signs of hypothermia? - ✔✔Mental confusion
✔✔Does pulse and respiratory rate increase or decrease with hypothermia? -
✔✔Decrease, slow down
✔✔How may the face appear in hypothermia? - ✔✔Swollen
✔✔Are heating pads, blankets a good intervention for a patent who has hypothermia? -
✔✔No, because they can cause cardiovascular problems
✔✔What are early indicators of hyperthermia? - ✔✔Cramps in the legs, arms and

✔✔What is one the first signs of a UTI in the elderly? - ✔✔Confusion
✔✔What 2 regions of the brain play key roles in language and speech? - ✔✔Broca's

✔✔What is the most common language problem seen in adults? - ✔✔Aphasia (or
dysphasia)
✔✔What is a excellent resource for information about speech and swallowing
disorders? - ✔✔Speech pathologists
, ✔✔Dysphagia - ✔✔Difficulty swallowing
✔✔Receptive Aphasia - ✔✔A person has difficulty understanding language
✔✔Exspressive Aphasia - ✔✔A person is unable to express himself or herself using
language
✔✔Global Aphasia - ✔✔A person loses the ability both to understand language and to
express himself or herself.
✔✔Broca Aphasia - ✔✔A person is able to understand verbal and written language but
is unable to speak words fluently. The area of the brain that coordinates muscles of
speech is damaged.
✔✔Wernicke Aphasia - ✔✔the person is able to speak, but the words produced may be
nonsensical or have little connection to reality.
✔✔Foods hgh in potassium OTHER than bananas? - ✔✔Spinach and Apple Juice

✔✔What is a sign that a person is having trouble coping? - ✔✔They are not grooming

✔✔What are some interventiosn for relocation syndrome? - ✔✔Continuity of care,
reduce the amount of change as possible
✔✔How can you help someone who is trying to overcome stress? - ✔✔IDENTIFY
problem and take steps to improve that problem
✔✔Arthritis - ✔✔Inflammation of the joints
✔✔Rheumatoid Arthritis - ✔✔Chronic inflammation of the synovial membrane of the
diarthrodial joints (also called the synovial joints: the freely moveable joints in which
continuous bony surfaces are covered by cartilage and connected by ligaments lined
with synovial membrane.
✔✔Osteoarthritis - ✔✔A nonsystemic, noninflammatory disorder that progressively
causes bones and joints to degenerate.
✔✔Osteoporosis - ✔✔Disorder that results in a loss of bone density
✔✔What disorder can cause a person to "shrink" or lose height? - ✔✔Osteoporosis
