Lab groups review: Mix and Match cards: Using the laminated cards match the word with definition. Keep cards paired until we correct!

Speed TTT! Rules of the game! Your team is your lab group (row) Competing against your neighbor row. Try to match a card Check answer on the back to make sure it is correct IF correct take the cards with you and make and “x” or “o” on your board IF incorrect put cards back and it is next persons turn When someone wins that game, tally and erase, repeat

Respiratory guided notes Using pages 179-182 fill in your guided notes on packet

Review! In lab groups you will find a stack of scratch paper. Make 10 questions using any info from packet so far. 1 questions per card, answer on the back Write in your best handwriting. Pass left in lab stations Quiz each other on the new set of cards

Respiratory Health Concerns

Asthma – bronchial airway obstruction. Etio – allergy, infection, anxiety, activity S/S – wheezing, coughing, difficulty breathing. Tx – inhaler, avoid what makes started it.

Bronchitis – Inflammation of the bronchi Etio: can occur over a long period of time, allergies, dust, infections, pollutions. S/S – increase in secretions from mucous membranes, obstructed breathing Tx – rest, fluids, inhaler, avoid what caused it if possible.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease – any disease that causes chronic obstruction of bronchial tubes and lungs. Etio – allergies, pollutants, smoking; can be from bronchitis, emphysema, etc. S/S – shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, coughing, wheezing, etc. Tx – inhaler, medication to make symptoms better, avoid what caused it.

Epistaxis – nosebleed; rupture of blood vessel in the nose. Etio – trauma. S/S – bleeding from 1 or both nostrils, spiting out blood; tasting blood. Tx – lean forward, gauze or nose plug, call 911 if it doesn’t stop.

Anthracosis – Black lung. Etio: Coal dust in the lungs. S/S: no early symptoms, coughing, chest pains, difficulty breathing. Tx: no cure.

Emphysema – unable to exhale all the air from the lungs, which cause CO2 to build up and damage alveoli Etio – smoking, manufacturing fumes, air pollutants S/S – difficulty breathing, short of breath with slightest exertion. Tx – no cure, inhaler, respiratory therapy, medications to make symptoms easier.

Lung Cancer – leading cause of death in both males and females. Etio – exposure to carcinogens, smoking, can just be fate. S/S – hemoptysis, dyspnea, weight loss, chest pain. Tx – chemotherapry, radiation, surgery.

Pneumonia – inflammation and infection of the lungs; alveoli fill with fluid Etio – bacterial, virus, fungi; low immune system. S/S – shortness of breath, fever, cough, chest pain, fatigue. Tx – antibiotics, medications for symptoms, rest, fluids.

Pleurisy – inflammation of the pleura. Etio: other infections, certain medications S/S: sharp stabbing pain while breathing, dyspnea, fever, grating sounds in lungs when breathing. Tx: treat what caused it, medications for symptoms.

Hemoptysis – coughing up blood from lungs or bronchial tubes. Etio – chronic lung disease, tuberculosis, lung cancer, or trauma. S/S – cough and blood comes out. Tx – fix what caused it, seek immediate help, 911 if it won’t stop.

Tuberculosis – highly infectious disease in the lungs, spread through droplets. Etio: caused by bacteria call bacilli that invade the lungs and cause small swellings and inflammation. S/S: coughing, fatigue, chills, fever, chest pain. Tx: antibiotics, medication for symptoms.

Upper Respiratory Infection – viral infection of part or all of the entire upper respiratory tract (common cold) Etio – highly contagious, exposure to infection, sharing utensils, airborne droplets. S/S – sneezing, watery eyes, sore throat, cough. Tx – rest, fluids, treat symptoms with medications; wash hands.

Health Concerns review: Using the laminated cards in your lab groups make the grid from your packet. NO notes until Mrs. White says!  All hands working together, engage your brains.
