Epiglottis - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-acute infection, caused by bacteria H. Influenza type B.
common in children 3-7 years old, increasing in adults.
S/S include rapid fever and sore throat child refuses to swallow. Drooling of saliva, inspiratory stridor
heard, anxious pale sitting with mouth open struggling to breath. Treatment consists of oxygen and
antimicrobial therapy.
Influenza - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-viral infection that may affect both the upper and lower respiratory
tracts. S/S acute onset fever, marked fatigue, aching pains in the body. May cause viral pneumonia.
Treatment is symptomatic and supportive unless bacterial infection occurs. Antiviral drugs such as
amantadine, zanamivir or oseltamivir taken by adults In first 2 days may reduce symptoms and
duration.
status asthmaticus - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-persistent severe attack of asthma that does not respond
to therapy. Often related to inadequate medical treatment, may be fatal owing to severe hypoxia and
acidosis leading to cardiac arrhythmias or central nervous system depression.
Postoperative atelectasis - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-Commonly occurs 24 to 72 hours after surgery
particularly abdominal surgery. small areas of atelectasis are asymptomatic large areas cause
Disneyland Chris heart and respiratory rate and chest pain.
Lung cancer how to teach patient - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-Women are more apt to develop lung
cancer and died of it than are men. Almost 90% of lung cancers are related to smoking.
Brain damage, functional area of the brain where impairment of the body - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-The
left hemisphere also referred to be responsible for mathematical problem solving and logical
reasoning abilities. The right hemisphere has greater influence on artistic abilities creativity spatial
relationships and emotional and behavioral characteristics.
, Oculomotor, trochlear, abducens - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-Cranial nerves that control eye movement.
Brain damage, dominant hemisphere of the brain - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-The dominant hemisphere
refers to the side of the brain that controls language, which in most people is the left hemisphere
Signs and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-Decreasing level of
consciousness, headache, vomiting. Vital signs increasing blood pressure with increasing pulse
pressure,slow heart rate. Signs affecting vision papilledema, pupil fixed and dilated.
Cushing's reflex - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-Cerebral ischaemia develop, which stimulates a powerful
response from the vasomotor centers in an attempt to increase the arterial blood supply to the brain.
Guillan-barre syndrome - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-Post-infectious polyneuritis, acute idiopathic
polyneuropathy, and acute infectious Polyradiculoneuritis. An inflammatory condition of the
peripheral nervous system. The precise cause of the syndrome is unknown, but evidence indicates
that an abnormal immune response, perhaps an autoimmune response, precipitated by a proceeding
viral infection or immunization, may be responsible. Signs and symptoms progressive muscle
weakness and areflexia, beginning in the legs, leading to an ascending flaccid paralysis, which may be
accompanied by. Easy, or pain in general muscle aching. Treatment is primarily supportive, and events
later is required in many cases.
Treatment of brain injury - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-Computed tomographic and MRI scans are useful in
determining the extent of brain injury. Surgery may be necessary to reduce ICP. Blood products and
oxygen maybe at minister to protect the remaining brain tissues.
Possible effects of continuous seizure - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-Prolonged or recurrent seizures or life-
threatening and require hospital treatment with medications such as intravenious diazepam, oxygen,
and fluids.
Adverse effects antipsychotics - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-
Drug-induced parkinsonian cause, treatment - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-Linked particularly to use of the
phenothiazines the effect may be reversible or diminished when the drug is discontinued.
