III. 3. Explain the etiology, physiological changes, diagnosis, collaborative treatment and nursing care of clients with noncomplex disorders
3
Etiology = unknown, may be triggered by aging, genetic changes obesity, smoking, and/or trauma Pathophysiology = progressive deterioration and loss of cartilage in one or more joints Diagnosis = x-rays
4
Collaborative Treatment = Activity/exercise Adequate nutrition surgery
5
Nursing Care Chronic pain management Complimentary therapies Pre and post op care Embolism, infection, bleeding, pain, neurovascular compromise Patient teaching
6
Etiology Invasion and inadequacy of immune system to overcome Bacteria, viruses, mycoplasmas, fungi, rickettsiae, protozoa, helminths Inhaled Non-infectious sources Toxic gases, chemicals, smoke Aspiration sources Water. Food. Fluid. Vapor
7
Pathophysiology Invader triggers inflammation in the interstitial spaces, alveoli and often bronchioles; penetrating the mucosa and multiplying; WBC’s migrate to the area and cause local capillary leak, edema and exudate; fluid collects around alveoli and the walls thicken reducing gas exchange leading to hypoxemia; capillary leak spreads the infection to other areas of the lung; RBC’s and fibrin stiffen the lung reducing compliance
8
Diagnosis = Chest X-ray Sputum CBC Collaborative Treatment = Maintain oxygenation Maintain Clear airway Prevent sepsis Manage pain
9
Nursing Care Patient teaching Provide resources IS, oxygen therapy prevention
10
Etiology 75% caused by systemic hypertension Second most = Structural heart changes Other causes CAD Cardiomyopathy Substance abuse Cardiac infections Dysrhythmias Diabetes Mellitus Smoking Family Hx Hyperkinetic conditions (e. g. Hyperthyroidism)
11
Pathophysiology Most common Lt-sided HF (CHF) Hypertension, CAD and valvular disorders cause poor cardiac output and pulmonary congestion from increased pressure in the pulmonary vessels Diagnosis Microalbuminuria, BNP, Chest X-rays, Radionuclide studies, ECG,
12
Collaborative Treatment Maintain oxygenation improve cardiac output – drugs Nutrition therapy Nursing Care Manage fluid volume Patient teaching Manage activity and rest balance Monitor for complications
13
Etiology Unknown cause Metabolic risk factors Hypercalcemia Hyperoxaluria Hyperuricemia Struvite cystinuria
14
Pathophysiology Slow urine flow causes crystallization or element which forms stone Damage to the lining of the urinary tract from crystals Decreased inhibitor substances that would prevent crystal formation Diagnosis X-rays, ultrasound, IV urography UA Renal colic
15
Collaborative Treatment Surgical treatment Pain management Complementary therapies Lithotripsy Control infections Nutrition therapy Nursing Care Patient teaching Strain urine
