Study Notes
Common Medical Conditions and Nursing Care
- Crohn's Disease is a chronic, non-specific inflammatory bowel disorder that involves all layers of the bowel wall and can occur anywhere in the GI tract.
- Clinical Manifestations of Crohn's Disease include skip lesions, deep and longitudinal ulcerations with a cobblestone appearance, abscesses, fistulas, diarrhea, fever, weight loss, and colicky abdominal pain.
- Ulcerative Colitis begins at the rectum and spreads up the colon in a continuous pattern, leading to inflammation and ulcerations in mucosa and submucosal layers.
- Complications of Ulcerative Colitis include hemorrhage, strictures, perforation, and toxic megacolon.
- Nursing care for both Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis involves goals such as resting the bowel, controlling inflammation, combating infection, correcting malnutrition, and managing hygiene.
- Risk factors for urinary tract infections include increased urinary stasis, foreign bodies, compromised immune response, age, and functional disorders like constipation.
- Clinical Manifestations of urinary tract infections include urinary frequency, urgency, incontinence, dysuria, hematuria, and in older adults, non-localized abdominal discomfort and confusion.
- Nursing care for urinary tract infections involves pain management, administering antibiotics, hand hygiene, and patient education on emptying the bladder regularly and proper hygiene.
- Metabolic Syndrome criteria include abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL, high blood pressure, and high fasting glucose.
- Obesity is defined by a BMI of 30 or higher and waist circumference over 40 inches for men and over 35 inches for women.
- Factors placing individuals at risk for seizures and strokes include impaired perfusion, compromised neurotransmission, glucose regulation, and pathological states.
- Primary prevention measures to decrease problems with intracranial regulation include anti-seizure medication, assessing eating utensils, and coping with loss.
Peripheral Arterial Disease and Venous Insufficiency
- Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) involves progressive narrowing and degeneration of arteries in the extremities
- Clinical manifestations of PAD include paresthesia, diminished pulses, intermittent claudication, and ulcers
- Collaborative care for PAD includes risk factor cessation, diet modifications, medication management, and surgical interventions
- Venous Insufficiency is characterized by edema, hemosiderin staining, and weeping wounds
- Collaborative care for Venous Insufficiency involves compression, moist environment dressings, and high protein diet
- PAD and Venous Insufficiency require diagnostic monitoring and ulcer care
- Hormonal Regulation involves identifying hyper and hypothyroidism risk factors, clinical manifestations, and collaborative care
- Hypothyroidism is associated with iodine deficiency, fatigue, cold intolerance, and low T3 & T4 levels
- Hyperthyroidism presents with tachycardia, weight loss, and high T3 & T4 levels
- Myxedema Coma requires cardiac monitoring, respiratory support, and IV thyroid hormone
- Inflammation management includes interventions like smoking cessation, exercise, and modifying activities
- Osteoarthritis is a non-inflammatory joint disorder, while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune response with specific clinical manifestations and laboratory values. Collaborative care for both involves rest, joint pain protection, and heat/cold applications.
