NUR3196 - Module 8 Test| Questions
and 100% Correct Verified Answers
asthma - Answer heterogenous disease, usually characterized by chronic airway
inflammation. It is defined by the history or respiratory symptoms, such as wheeze,
shortness of breath, chest tightness, and cough that vary over time and in
intensity, together with variable expiratory limitation
asthma cues - Answer Wheezing: A whistling or squeaky sound during
breathing, especially when exhaling.
Shortness of breath: Difficulty in breathing, often accompanied by a feeling of
tightness in the chest.
Coughing: Persistent cough, particularly at night or early in the morning.
Chest tightness: A sensation of pressure or tightness in the chest, often accompanied
by discomfort.
Increased mucus production: Excessive production of mucus, often leading to phlegm
or coughing.
Coughing or wheezing worsened by triggers: Exposure to allergens, smoke, cold air,
or exercise can exacerbate symptoms.
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - Answer a common preventable and treatable
disease characterized by persistent airflow limitation that is usually progressive and
associated with an enhanced chronic inflammatory response in the airways and the
lung to noxious particles or gases.
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease cues - Answer Chronic cough: A persistent cough
that may produce mucus (sputum).
Shortness of breath: Gradually worsening over time, especially during physical activity.
,Wheezing: Similar to asthma, a whistling sound during breathing, particularly during
exhalation.
Chest tightness: Feeling of pressure or constriction in the chest.
Frequent respiratory infections: Due to compromised lung function and weakened
immune system.
Difficulty clearing mucus: Difficulty in clearing mucus from the airways.
chronic bronchitis - Answer a hypersecretion of mucus and a chronic productive
cough for at least 3 months of the year (usually the winter months) for at least 2
consecutive years.
chronic bronchitis cues - Answer Persistent cough: Lasting for at least three months in
a year for two consecutive years.
Excessive mucus production: Chronic production of mucus, often with coughing.
Shortness of breath: Progresses over time, often worsened with physical activity.
Wheezing: Occasional wheezing during breathing.
Cyanosis: Bluish tint to the lips or fingernails due to poor oxygenation.
Enteral nutrition - Answer involves the delivery of nutrition or fluid via a tube into the GI
tract, which requires a functional, accessible GI tract. Depending on the different
pathologies present, it may be used for short-term nutritional supplementation, such as
with reduced appetite or swallowing difficulties. It can also be used for long-term
nutritional supplementation for malabsorption disorders or increased catabolism.
parenteral nutrition - Answer the administration of nutrients by a route other than
the GI tract (e.g., the bloodstream).
Enteral nutrition
, parenteral nutrition. - Answer ___ is generally preferred when feasible, as it helps
maintain gut function and may be associated with fewer complications compared
to ___.
nasogastric, nasoduodenal/nasojejunal, gastrostomy, or jejunostomy routes -
Answer The GI routes used for enteral tube feedings are (4)?
nasogastric
gastrostomy - Answer The ___ and ___ routes deliver food directly to the stomach.
nasoduodenal/nasojejunal
jejunostomy - Answer The ___ and the ___ routes deliver food after the stomach
or below the pyloric sphincter and are used for patients at risk for aspiration.
short-term
long-term - Answer The nasogastric, nasoduodenal, and nasojejunal routes are for ___
nutrition of less than 4 weeks' duration. If ___ nutrition is required, the patient may
receive a gastrostomy or a jejunostomy tube placed
enteral safety - Answer patient position, aspiration risk, residual volumes, and
tube position.
enteral safety - Answer -Elevate head of bed at least 30 degrees
-patient had audible bowel sounds
-check gastric residual volume (prior to intermittent feedings, Q4-6hrs if continuous)
-confirm position of the newly inserted tubing
-x-ray to confirm tubing placement
-check tubing before each feeding
