What is deep vein thrombosis? - CORRECT ANSWER-a serious condition that
occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein located deep inside your body. A blood
clot is a clump of blood that's turned to a solid state.
Deep vein blood clots typically form in your thigh or lower leg, but they can also
develop in other areas of your body. Other names associated with this condition
may include thromboembolism, post-thrombotic syndrome, and postphlebitic
syndrome.
what are symptoms of Deep vein thrombosis - CORRECT ANSWER-Swelling in
feet, anlke or leg on one side, cramping pain in affected leg beginning in calf,
severe unexplained pain in your foot or ankle, an area of skin that feels warmer
than surrounding areas, skin over affected area turning pale or reddish blue
What are causes deep vein thrombosis - CORRECT ANSWER-injury, surgery,
reduced mobility or inactivity, certain medications
,what are the treatments for Deep vein thrombosis - CORRECT ANSWER-
heparin, warfarin, enoxaparin, fondaparinux, compression stockings, filter,
surgery
what are risk factors for deep vein thrombosis - CORRECT ANSWER-injury that
damages veins, being overweight, family history of DVT, catheter in vein, birth
controls, hormone therapy , smoking.
chanes to the respiratory system with age - CORRECT ANSWER--PO2 reduced
as much as 15% between ages 20-80
-loss of elasticity and increased rigidity
-decreased ciliary action
-forced expiratory volume reduced
-blunting of cough and laryngeal reflexes
-by age 90 approx 50% increase in residual capacity
-alveoli fewer in nuber and larger in size
-thoracic muscles more rigid
-reduced basilar inflation
-lungs become smaller in size and weigh with age
-trachea stiffens due to calcification of its cartilage
,-nose experiences connective tissue changes reduce support
-gag reflex weaker
-alveoli are less elasic, develop fibrosis tissue and contain fewer functional
capillaries
-kyphosis
-
changes to the cells of the body - CORRECT ANSWER--number of cells
gradually reduced
-leaving fewer functional cells in the body
-lean body mass reduced
-fat tissue increase s until the sixth decade of life
-total body fat as a porpotion of the body composition increases.
-Cellular solids and bone mass are decreased
-Extracellular fluid remains failry constant
-where as intracellular fluid is decreased
-resulting in less total body fluid
-This decrease makes dehydration a significant risk to older adults
, Gastroinstestinal System age changes - CORRECT ANSWER--decreased taste
sensation
-esophagus more dilated
-reduced saliva and salivary ptyalin
-liver smaller in size
-reduced instestinal blood flow
-decreased esophageal motility
-atrophy of gastric mucosa
-decreased stomach motility, hunger contractions, and emptying time
-less production of hydrochloric acid, pepsin, lipase, and pancreatic enzymes
- fewer cells on absorbing surface of intestines
-slower peristalisis
-tongue atrophies
-there is thinning of oral mucosa and a weakening of the muscles involved in
mastication
reduced elasticity of stomach
stomach has a higher ph
Urinary System aging - CORRECT ANSWER--decreased size of renal mass
-decreased tubuler function
