What is the potential risk for a
patient that has a "high" spinal cord injury? - ANSWERS-High means C3 and
above
Risk for respiratory failure and aspiration (potentially fatal breathing problems)
What caution is associated with spinal cord injury and the kidneys? - ANSWERS-
Spinal cord injury increases risk of renal kidney stones because urine sitting in
the bladder becomes very concentrated creating kidney stones
Therefor patients need to drink 2-3 litters of fluid daily
,Define steatorrhea - ANSWERS-Fat in the stool that is often seen in Crohns and
Ulcerative Colitis
What are the 5 most common STIs? - ANSWERS-Chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphillis,
genital herpes, genital warts
Most of these are treated through antibiotics (e.g. penicillin)
Except for genital warts which has no cure
Which test indicates presence of HIV? - ANSWERS-CD4 count - it measure the
number of CD4 cells in a sample of your blood and that tells you how well your
immune system is working
Very low CD4 count (<200 cells/mm3) indicates presence of HIV
Which STIs are vaccine preventable? - ANSWERS-Hepatitis A and B
Neuman's Systems Model - ANSWERS-Views the client as multidimensional and
illness as multicausal. Looking at a client holistically through the 5 variables:
,-Physiological
-Psychological
-Sociocultural
-Developmental
-Spiritual
3 levels of prevention - ANSWERS-*Primary prevention* - Aim to reduce the
possibility of the client's encounter with the stressor or to strengthen the
flexible line of defense *prevent it before it happens*
*Secondary prevention* - Begins after the stressor has occurred. Functions to
ensure the appropriate treatment and decrease the negate impact of the
stressor on the system *you have something and you treat it*
*Tertiary prevention* - Maintain system stability *long haul maintenance*
Define transference vs. countertransference - ANSWERS-*Transference* - The
unconscious tendency of a patient to assign to others in the present
environment feelings and attitudes associated with significant persons in one's
earlier life; especially, the patient's transfer to the therapist of feelings and
attitudes associated with a parent or similar person from childhood. The
feelings may be positive or negative (e.g. you remind them of their mother)
*Countertransference* - Same concept but the other way around (e.g. the client
reminds you of your grandfather)
, 3 skin layers - ANSWERS-*Epidermis* - out layer, can tell you about someones
temperature and circulation, protective layer (from bacteria), water insoluble
*Dermis* - blood vessels that feed the skin, vascular supply, subcutaneous
glands, connective tissue or collagen, elastic tissue
*Subcutaneous layer* - fat storage, insulation, protection (cushion)
Pressure ulcer - ANSWERS-It is any lesion (sore) caused by unrelieved pressure
(laying down/sitting for too long) and decreased blood supply that results in
damage to the underlying tissue
Can be found on: shoulders, hips, back, gluteus, heels... anywhere there is
pressure
Risk factors include friction, immobility, poor nutrition, incontinence, decreased
sensorium or sensation, age, health
Assess - size, location, colour,exudate, temp, door, pain, swelling, surrounding
pain (Use the braden assessment tool - lower score means higher risk)
