Study Notes
Positioning and Conditions
- Residents with COPD should be positioned sitting upright to facilitate easier breathing.
- Residents with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) primarily experience difficulty with breathing.
Respiratory System Components
- The respiratory system comprises the trachea, bronchi, and lungs.
Homeostasis
- Homeostasis refers to the optimal functioning condition of all body systems.
Common Medical Treatments
- Glaucoma is typically treated using eye drops.
Anatomical Terms
- Medial refers to a position towards the midline of the body.
Circulatory Aids
- Anti-embolic stockings aid circulation post knee replacement surgery.
Respiration
- Respiration involves the processes of inspiration (inhaling) and expiration (exhaling).
Senses and Systems
- The eye and ear are components of the nervous system.
Care Guidelines
- Care for residents with multiple sclerosis includes preventing falls.
Osteoporosis Effects
- Osteoporosis leads to bones that are fragile and prone to breakage.
Parkinson's Disease Symptoms
- Parkinson's disease commonly manifests as a shuffling gait.
Nutritional Recommendations for AIDS
- Residents with AIDS experiencing nausea should eat small, frequent meals.
Lymphatic System
- Lymph is the yellowish fluid that carries disease-fighting cells.
Skin Functionality
- The skin is capable of sensing heat, cold, pain, touch, and pressure.
High Blood Pressure
- The medical term for high blood pressure is hypertension, defined as a consistent measurement of 130/80 or higher.
Diabetes Footwear
- Residents with diabetes should wear breathable shoes made of leather, cotton, or canvas.
Urinary Tract Infections
- Females are more susceptible to urinary tract infections due to a shorter urethra.
Post-Heart Attack Care
- Regular exercise is beneficial for residents recovering from a heart attack.
Diabetes Symptoms
- Common symptoms of diabetes include excessive thirst, extreme hunger, and frequent urination.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
- To manage GERD, residents should not lie down for two to three hours after eating.
Autoimmune Disorders
- Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune illness where the immune system attacks normal tissue.
Mobility Assistance
- Nursing assistants should stand on the weaker side when assisting a resident who has had a stroke.
Skin Care in Cancer Patients
- Avoid applying lotion to areas receiving radiation therapy to prevent irritation.
Functions of the Nervous System
- The nervous system senses and interprets information from the environment.
Eye Conditions
- Cataracts develop when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy.
Movement and Muscle Function
- Muscles enable movement of body parts and decrease in size when atrophy occurs.
Circulatory System Role
- The circulatory system is responsible for supplying food, oxygen, and hormones to cells.
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
- Residents with CHF may be prescribed medications that increase urination; a diet low in sodium is often recommended.
Immune System Protection
- The immune system defends against disease through nonspecific and specific immunity.
Spinal Cord Injury Outcomes
- The higher the spinal cord injury, the greater the loss of function experienced by the resident.
