A patient presents with a vesicular rash that has been scratched and is now
covered in yellow crust. The nurse is documenting the findings. Which
interpretation of the skin lesions is most accurate?
A. The rash consists solely of primary lesions.
B. The vesicles are secondary lesions, and the crust is a primary lesion.
C. The vesicles are primary lesions, and the crust represents a secondary lesion.
D. Both the vesicle and the crust are considered primary lesions.
C
Asthma causes bronchoconstriction; causing smooth muscles to contract due
to what?
The parasympathetic nervous system reaction
Cells that produce mucous
Goblet cells
,What happens to the Goblet cells in a patient with asthma?
Goblet cells become hyperactive and increase in # (hyperplasia)
Happens over & over again -> causes consistent changes -> known as
'_______________' -> A.K.A. Changes in the respiratory tract.
Remodeling
One may get asthma due to .....
genetic predisposition
Early adolescent/adulthood -> Allergic asthma -> outside allergies (hay fever,
pollen, other outside allergens)
Extrinsic asthma
Adulthood -> Non-Allergic Asthma -> biggest risk factor is age -> triggers
include: emotions, stress, how body reacts to temp, etc.
Intrinsic asthma
Eosinophils -> WBC in charge of allergies -> related to what type of allergy?
,Extrinsic
Basophils -> WBC in charge of allergies -> related to what type of allergy?
Intrinsic
Between extrinsic and intrinsic asthma, which asthma will present more likely
with higher eosinophils?
Extrinsic asthma
Between extrinsic and intrinsic asthma, which asthma will present more likely
with higher basophils?
Intrinsic asthma
Which of the two allergies (Extrinsic vs. Intrinsic) will involve IgE?
Extrinsic
(T/F): In asthma, both the Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Forced Expiratory
Volume in 1 second (FEV1) will be decreased.
True
, (T/F): Testing to diagnose asthma includes Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT's)
such as spirometry testing in which measures specifically the expiratory
portion of breathing.
True
On an X-ray of an asthma patient's lungs, how will the lungs look and why is
this?
Lungs will be hyper-inflated due to air trapping
When assessing a sputum sample, Charcot-Leyden Crystals are best recognized
in which type of asthma?
Extrinsic asthma
(T/F): Charcot-Leyden Crystals are best associated with eosinophils.
True
When assessing a sputum sample, Kurshmann spirals are best recognized in
which type of asthma?
