NUR 111 Stud guide 5
NUR 111 Study guide for test 5
| Cardiovasular assessment: Inspection | -neck: JVD; <1 in. when upright -Precordium -heave/lift - visible elevation of chest wall - extremities: hair distribution, color (pink), vascularity (varicose veins, spider veins, etc.), edema, lesions (venous stasis ulcers), nails (color) |
| Cardiovasular assessment: Palpation | -Precordium - Peripheral pulses: radial, dorsalis pedis, and posterior tibial - Equality and pulse amplitude - skin temperature: warm - Blanch test (capillary refill): should be <2 seconds |
| Heart sounds: S1 “lub” | Systole; closing of tricuspid(right) and mitral(left) valves closing |
| Heart sounds: S2 “dub” | Diastole; aortic and pulmonic valves closing |
| Heart sounds: S3 “Kentuc-ky” | Abnormal diastole; “lub, dub, dub” can be aortic or pulmonic, normal in children up to young adult Sources: CHF, Fluid Overload |
| Heart sounds: S4 “Tenne-see” | Abnormal between diastole and systole; Sources: Hypertension, Cardiomyopathy |
| Heart sounds: Aortic | Auscultate at: 2nd ICS RSB |
| HHeart sounds: Pulmonic | Auscultate at: 2nd ICS LSB |
| Heart sounds: Erb’s Point | Auscultate at: 3rd ICS LSB; best place to hear heart murmurs |
| Heart sounds: Tricuspid | Auscultate at: 4th ICS LSB |
| Heart sounds: Mitral (apical) | Auscultate at: 5th ICS LSB; point of maximum intensity |
| Vascular sounds (carotid in notes): Bruit | Blowing/swishing sound heard during auscultation; indicates obstruction |
| Vascular sounds (carotid in notes): Thrill | Vibrations like a cat purring palpated on artery; palpate for after hearing bruit |
| CARDIAC CONDUCTION pathway | SA Node->AV Node->Bundle of His->Right/Left Bundle Branches->Perkinji Fibers |
| Cardiac pacemakers: SA node | The primary site that begins conduction of heart rate at 60-100 bpm |
| Cardiac pacemakers: AV node | Takes over if the SA node fails with an intrinsic rate of 40-60 bpm; functions as the “gatekeeper” of misfired cardiac nerve impulses |
| Cardiac pacemakers: Perkinje fibers (ventricular) | Take over if the SA and AV nodes fail with an intrinsic rate of <40 bpm |
| Blood flow through the heart | Superior/inferior vena cavae->right atrium->tricuspid valve->right ventricle->pulmonic valve->lungs->left atrium->mitral valve->left ventricle->aortic valve->aorta->the body |
| Respiratory Anataomy: Upper airway | Nose, pharynx, larynx, epiglottis |
| Respiratory Anataomy: Lower airway | Trachea, right/left mainstem bronchi, segmental bronchi, terminal bronchioles |
| Respiratory Anataomy: Lungs | Right lung: 3 lobes; upper, middle, and lower Left lung: 2 lobes; upper and lower |
| Respiratory assessment: Inspection | -Chest shape and size - Symmetrical with equal rise and fall (flail chest) - Observe pattern, rate, and rhythm: regular vs. irregular, labored vs. unlabored - Retractions or nostril flaring - Nails and skin for cyanosis and clubbing |
| Respiratory assessment: Palpation | - Tracheal position: midline - Symmetry of movement - Chest tenderness - Crepitus - Tactile fremitus: vibration when pt. verbalizes “99”; vibration= pneumonia, vibration= COPD or air trapping |
| Respiratory assessment: Percussion | - Adults: resonance; Children: hyper resonance - Assesses for position, density, and changes - Not used unless by an advanced practice professionals |
| Respiratory assessment: Ascultation | - At all sites for one full breath cycle - Side to side pattern beginning at apex down to the base - if abnormal sound is heard, have pt. cough then continue to auscultate |
| Lung sounds: bronchial | Normal lung sound auscultated over trachea; harsh blowing sounds |
| Lung sounds: Vesicular | Normal lung sound auscultated over mainstream bronchus; moderate blowing sounds |
| Lung sounds: Wheezing | Abnormal lung sound; continuous high-pitched sounds created by air flowing through passages narrowed by secretions, swelling, or tumors |
| Lung sounds: Crackles | Abnormal lung sound; Fine-coarse crackling sounds made by air moving through wet secretions |
| Lung sounds: Pleural friction rub | Abnormal lung sound; grating sound caused by inflamed pleura rubbing against the chest wall |
| Assessment of oxygenation: Pulse ox | Noninvasive technique for measurement of hemoglobin; can be placed on the finger, ear or toe; normal measurement of 95%-100% |
| Assessment of oxygenation/ventilation, acid/base status: ABG | Arterial blood gasses; drawn from an artery |
| Oxygen delivery: Nasal Cannula | Most commonly used low flow oxygen delivery system Flow rates: goes up by 4% per liter - 1L/min=24% Oxygen - 2L/min=28% Oxygen - 3L/min=32% Oxygen - 4L/min=36% Oxygen - 5L/min=40% Oxygen - 6L/min=44%Oxygen |
| Oxygen delivery: Simple Face Mask | Low flow oxygen delivery system with a flow rate of 6-10L/min with 35-60% oxygen saturation - Disadvantages: difficult to talk or eat with it on |
| Oxygen delivery: Partial Rebreather Mask | Low flow oxygen delivery system that allows rebreathing of expired CO2 with a flow rate of 6-15L/min with an oxygen saturation of 70%-90% - Disadvantages: difficult to talk or eat - Considerations: bag should only slightly collapse |
| Oxygen delivery: Non-Rebreather Mask | Low flow O2 delivery system w/ covered vents with a 1-way valve on the mask; highest O2 saturation possible w/ a face mask - Flow: 6-15L/min = 60%-100% O2 - Disadv: difficult to talk or eat - Considerations: bag should only collapse slightly |
| Oxygen delivery: Venturi Mask | High flow oxygen delivery system with vents in the face mask - Flow rate: 4-10L/min with oxygen saturation of 24%-55% - Consideration: occlusion of the vents can cause hypoxia or hyperoxia |
| Oxygen delivery: Humidification | Added when oxygen delivery is over 4L/min |
| Oxygen delivery: Oropharyngeal Airway (OPA) | Tube inserted into back of throat to keep tounge clear of airway - Meas fr mouth to back of jaw - Remove dentures, hyperextend neck, insert curved tip, rotate 180 degr - Auscultate BS - Turn on side to prevent aspiration - Remove q4h for mouth care |
| Oxygen delivery: Nasopharyngeal Airway (NPA) | Tube from nose to pharynx to prevent trauma to mucous membranes caused by frequent suctioning - Measure from nostril to tragus of the ear - Lubricate airway with water soluble lubricant and gently insert into nare - Switch nostrils every 24 hr. |
| Pulmonary hygiene (pulmonary toilet): Incentive spirometry | To encourage deep breathing for pt. at risk for pneumonia or atelectasis: post op, debilitated, or have lung problems - Instruct use for 10 times every waking hour - Instructions: Exhale, place mouth on mouthpiece, and inhale slowly |
| Pulmonary hygiene (pulmonary toilet): TCDB - Turn, cough, and deep breathe | Promotes ventilation and gas exchange, Coughing loosens secretions and keeps airway open -perform every hour or at least 4 times per day -Slint any abdominal or chest injuries or surgeries with a pillow -Take a deep breath, cough, and turn |
