| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Most common cause of Peptic Ulcer Dz... | H. pylori |
| Duodenal ulcers usually occur between what ages | 30-55 |
| Gastric ulcers usually occur between what ages | 55-65 |
| T/F: H. pylori occurs in >90% or duodenal ulcers and >75% of gastric ulcers | True |
| Sx's of PUD | gnawing epigastric pain that is well localized |
| In duodenal ulcers does pain get better or worse with eating | better |
| In gastric ulcers does pain get better or worse with eating | worse; feed it = worse |
| T/F: a rigid abdomen = peritonitis, acute abdomen | True |
| PUD labs/diagnostics | ~all should be evaluated 8-12 wks after tx; serology or urea breath test for H. pylori |
| 1st line Rx management of PUD | H2 Receptor Antagonists |
| Examples of H2 Receptor Antagonists are: | ~"dine": Cimetidine (Tagament), Rantidine (Zantac), Famotidine (Pepcid), Nizatidine |
| How soon before meals should PPI's be taken | 30 |
| Examples of PPI's are: | ~"razole": Lansoprazole (Prevacid), Omeprazole (Prilosec), Rabeprazole (Aciphex), Pantoprazole (injectable) |
| Sucralfate (Carafate), Bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismal), Misoprostol (Cytotec) & Antacids (Mylanta, Maalox, MOM, etc) are what type of agents? | Mucosal Protective |
| What does Sucralfate (Carafate) require in order to work and what should be avoided | an acidic environment needs to be present; avoid antacids and H@ blockers |
| What are the actions of Bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto Bismal) | ~direct antibacterial action against H. pylori ~promotes prostaglandin production/stimulates gastric bicarb |
| T/F: Misoprostol (Cytotec) should be taken with food | True |
| What are the actions of Misoprostol (Cytotec)... | ~used as prophylaxis against NSAID-induced ulcers ~stimulates mucous and bicarb production ~may stimulate uterine contractions and induce abortion |
| Do antacids reduce the amount of gastric acidity? | NO |
| What is the combo option therapy for H. pylori | 2 antibx + either a PPI or Bismuth |
| "MOC" PPI regimen... | Metronidazole (Flagyl) with meals + Omeprazole (Prilosec) BID before meals + Clarithromycin (Biaxin) w/ meals x7 days |
| "AOC" PPI regimen... | Amoxicillin (Amoxil) with meals + Omeprazole (Prilosec) before meals + Clarithromycin (Biaxin) BID w/ meals x7 days |
| "MOA" PPI regimen... | Metronidazole (Flagyl) with meals + Omeprazole (Prilosec) before meals + Amoxicillin (Amoxil) BID w/ meals x7-14 days |
| What sx's must be present (5) to be dx'd with "gastroenteritis" | ~N/V ~watery diarrhea ~anorexia ~abdominal cramping ~general "sick" feeling |
| Common causes of gastroenteritis... | ~viruses (more common during the winter) ~bacterial ~parasitic ~emotional distress |
| PE signs that may be seen with gastroenteritis... | ~hyperactive BS ~abdominal distention ~fever ~tachycardia ~hypotension |
| When are diagnostics for gastroenteritis indicated & what should be ordered... | if sx's persist >72 hours...stool for cx, WBC's, O |
| Management of gastritis may consist of... | ~supportive care ~rehydration ~antibx |
| When are antibx indicated for gastroenteritis... | ~organism (except Salmonella) is isolated and sx's not resolved ~leukocytes or dysentery present ~Shigella present ~>8-10 stools/day ~the pt is immunocompromised |
| s/sx's of "Pre-icteric" | fatigue, malaise, anorexia, N/V, H/A, aversion to smoking and alcohol |
| s/sx's of "Icteric" | wt loss, jaundice, pruritus, RUQ pain, clay colored stool, dark urine ~low-grade fever may be present ~hepatosplenomegaly may be present |
| General Hepatitis labs/results may consist of... | ~WBC low to normal ~UA: proteinuria, bili ~*elevated AST & ALT (500-2000 IU/L...normal <35-40 |
| Active Hep A will show... | Anti-HAV, IgM (immediate) |
| Recovered Hep A will show... | Anti-HAV, IgG (gone) |
| Anti-HAV, IgM will peak at about... | the first week of clinical illness |
| Anti-HAV, IgM will disappear in about... | 3-6 months |
| T/F: Anti-HAV will be either active or recovered | True |
| What surface antigen is the 1st evidence of HBV infection | Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) |
| HBsAg remains (+) in ______________ carriers and ____________ Hep B patients | "asymptomatic" "chronic" |
| Shortly after HBsAg disappears, which antibody appears | Anti-HBc |
| Active Hep B will show what lab results... | HBsAg, HBeAg, Anti-HBc, IgM |
| Chronic Hep B will show what lab results... | HBsAg, Anti-HBc, Anti-HBe, IgM, IgG |
| Recovered Hep B will show what lab results... | Anti-HBc, Anti-HBsAg |
| HBeAg indicates... | circulating & highly infectious HBV |
| Anti-HBe often appears... | after HBeAg disappears = decreased infectivity |
| What labs indicate Acute and Chronic Hep C | Anti-HCV, HCV RNA |
| What differentiates Acute from Chronic Hep C | PCR will differentiate prior exposure (+) from current exposure |
| Management of Hep C may consist of... | ~supportive ~increase fluids ~avoid ETOH, drugs detoxified by the liver ~no protein diet ~Vit K for prolonged PT (>15 sec) ~Lactulose for ^ ammonia level |
