Study Notes
Anatomical Terms
- Medial: Directional term meaning toward the midline of the body.
- Anterior: Refers to the front of the body.
Nutrition and Care Considerations
- Residents with AIDS experiencing nausea and vomiting should consume small, frequent meals for better tolerance.
- Residents with cancer require regular brushing and flossing during oral care to maintain oral hygiene.
Physical Health and Mobility
- Residents with head or spinal cord injuries should be repositioned every 2 hours to prevent complications.
- After a stroke, residents with one-sided weakness should be assisted by standing on their weaker side for support.
Aging and Body Systems
- Normal aging changes in the integumentary system can be managed by keeping sheets wrinkle-free.
- The respiratory system consists of components like the trachea, bronchi, and lungs, vital for breathing functions.
Musculoskeletal and Circulatory Systems
- Muscles are essential as they provide movement of body parts, and some conditions like osteoporosis make bones susceptible to fractures.
- The circulatory system is crucial for delivering food, oxygen, and hormones to cells.
Respiratory and Cardiovascular Health
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects breathing difficulties and should be managed with upright positioning for comfort.
- High blood pressure, defined as 140/90 or higher, and hypertension are significant indicators of cardiovascular health.
Neurological and Immune System Functions
- The nervous system includes the eyes and ears, which play pivotal roles in sensing the environment.
- The immune system protects the body from disease using nonspecific and specific immunity methods.
Diabetes and Urinary Health
- Diabetics should check their feet regularly to prevent complications and are advised to wear leather shoes for support.
- Women are more prone to urinary tract infections due to a shorter urethra, highlighting the importance of proper perineal care.
Eye and Skin Health
- Glaucoma is commonly treated with eye drops, while cataracts occur when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy.
- Appropriate skin care for residents, especially those with cancer, includes avoiding lotion on radiated areas to prevent irritation.
General Wellness Practices
- Residents recovering from heart conditions benefit from regular exercise and should manage activities post meal to avoid GERD symptoms, such as staying upright for 2 to 3 hours after eating.
