Questions and Answers

What is the primary cause of Diabetes Mellitus?

The primary cause of Diabetes Mellitus is a lack of insulin or insulin resistance.

How does Diabetes Insipidus differ from Diabetes Mellitus in terms of urine output?

Diabetes Insipidus leads to polyuria with low ADH and dehydration, while Diabetes Mellitus also causes polyuria but is due to high glucose levels.

What characterizes the treatment plan for Type I Diabetes Mellitus?

The treatment plan for Type I Diabetes Mellitus primarily includes insulin therapy, along with diet and exercise.

What dietary approach is recommended for managing Type II Diabetes Mellitus?

<p>The recommended dietary approach for Type II Diabetes Mellitus is calorie restriction and smaller, frequent meals.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Describe the relationship between urine output and specific gravity in conditions like DM and DI.

<p>In Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetes Insipidus, increased urine output results in lower specific gravity; conversely, lower urine output (as seen in SIADH) results in higher specific gravity.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Key

  • bold (titles)
  • red (important letters or mnemonics)
  • yellow (highlighted info)

Acid Base Balance

  • Convert lab values to words & interpret
  • Rule of the B's
    • If the pH & the Bicarbonate are Both in the same direction then it's metabolic
    • otherwise it's respiratory (since it has no B in it)
  • pH = 7.35-7.45
  • HCO3 = 22-26
  • CO2 = 35-45
  • Principles
    • As the pH goes, so goes my patient – except for K+
    • alkalotic - hyper & irritable
    • pH goes up → pt needs suctioning cause they could seize & aspirate
    • pH goes down – acidosis – low & slow → pt needs Ambu bag cause they could go into respiratory arrest
  • MAC Kussmaul
    • only acid base balance to cause Metabolic Acidosis with Kussmaul respirations
    • Example: Pt has respiratory acidosis. SATA
    • +1 reflexes !!
    • Diarrhea – high X
    • Adynamic ileus !! (Without movement)
    • Spasm - high X
    • Urinary retention !!
    • Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia – high X
    • Hypokalemia – would be hyperkalemia due to exclusion of K+
  • First ask "Is it LUNG?" → respiratory problem
  • Second ask "Are they over ventilating or under ventilating?"
    • OVERventilating = alkalosis (OVER 7.45)
    • UNDERventilating = acidosis (UNDER 7.35)
    • Ventilation is about gas exchange not respiratory rate (not about RR), It's about the SAO2

Ventilators

  • High pressure alarms – always triggered by increased resistance to air flow
  • Machine is having to push too hard to get the air into the lungs
  • Caused by obstructions!
    • Kinks → unkink it
    • Water condensing in the tube → empty it
    • Mucus secretions in airway → change position, turn, cough, deep breathe, & then suction (more suction = more secretions problems)
    • Mobilize secretions after they turn, cough, & deep breathe
  • Low pressure alarms – always triggered by decreased resistance to air flow
  • Machine works too little/too easy to get air into lungs
  • Caused by disconnections!
  • Main tubing = reconnect
  • O2 sensor tubing (measures FIO2; oxygen delivered) = plug it back in
  • Only reconnect unless tube is on floor – bag pt & call RT
  • Settings
    • Overventilated = setting too high = respiratory alkalosis - panting
    • Underventilated = setting too low = respiratory acidosis - retaining CO2

Alcohol (Lecture 2)

  • Number one problem in all abusive situations = Denial
  • Abusers have an infinite capacity to deny in order to continue the behavior – allows them to keep doing it without having to answer for it/deny that they have a problem
  • Why is this a problem? → can't treat someone who denies they have a problem
  • Definition – refusal to accept the reality of a problem
  • How to treat? Confrontation attacks problem while aggression attacks person
  • When dealing with psychodynamic issues with staff, use the “I” statements not "You”
  • Denial is okay in loss & grief support not confront!
  • Stages of grief – DABDA
  • Dependency/codependency
    • Dependency – abuser asks partner to do things for them
    • Codependency – partner gets positive self-esteem from doing things for abuser
  • How to treat? Set limits & enforce them
  • Teach partner to say no
  • Work on self-esteem of codependent person

Manipulation

  • When abuser gets partner to do things that are not in the best interest of partner (dangerous & harmful)
  • Like dependency – getting partner to do things
  • Manipulation = dangerous & harmful
  • Dependency = not inherently dangerous & harmful
  • How to treat? Set limits & enforce them

Wernicke (Korsakoff) Syndrome

  • Go together
  • Wernicke – encephalopathy
  • Korsakoff - psychosis
  • Psychosis induced by Vit B1, thiamine deficiency (lose touch with reality due to deficiency)
  • Primary S/Sx

Antabuse & Revia (Disulfiram)

  • Aversion therapy - develop a gut hatred for habit
  • When you take alcohol, you will get super sick
  • Doesn't work as well as they say it does – just in theory
  • Onset & duration = 2 weeks
  • Patient teaching: avoid all forms of alcohol to avoid N/V, death

Overdose & Withdrawal

  • Every abused drug is either an Upper or Downer
  • Laxatives are abused by the elderly
  • Upper
