EXAM 1 2022(Answered) How to approach patient - Knock, address formally, meet/acknowledge others, learn names, ensure confidentiality, sit, don't rush, take notes sparingly, avoid typing, maintain eye contact, respect modesty, save discussions for after patient dresses Abdominal exam - Inspect, auscultate, palpate, percuss Exams except abdominal - Inspect, palpate, percuss, ausculate Inspection - Observation, uses eyes and nose, assesses gait, ease of ADLs, eye contact, demeanor, clothing appropriateness, color/moisture of skin, emotional/mental status, unusual odors. Can continue through entire exam. Auscultation - Listening, usually with stethoscope; perform in quiet area; listen for sound and intensity, pitch, duration, quality; perform last Percussion - Finger against finger on body part; dense = quiet, air = loud, fluid = less loud, solid = soft Tympanic - Loud, high pitch, moderate duration, drumlike quality, ex.

Remote memory - Ask about verifiable events or info such as mother's name, high school, common knowledge Memory loss - may result from disease, infection, temporal lobe trauma Impaired memory - neuro or psych disorders, such as anxiety and depression Immediate and recent memory loss with retention of remote memory - dementia Cerebrum - consists of two hemispheres divided into lobes, responsible for mental status Cerebral cortex - gray outer layer of cerebrum, houses higher mental functions, responsible for perception and behavior Frontal lobe - contains motor cortex, responsible for speech formation (Broca area), decision making, problem solving, concentration, short-term memory; associated areas - emotions, affect, drive, awareness of self and autonomic responses r/t emotional state Parietal lobe - receives/processes sensory data; interprets tactile sensations (temp, pressure, pain, size, shape, texture, two-point discrimination), and visual, taste, smell, and hearing; proprioception (recognition of body parts and awareness of body position); association fibers provide communication between sensory and motor areas of brain Occipital lobe c - primary vision center and provides interpretation of visual data Temporal lobe - Perception and interpretation of sounds as well as localizing their source; contains Wernicke speech area (helps understand spoken and written language) Temporal lobe is responsible for - perception and interpretation of sounds and determination of their source; involved in integration of taste, smell, and balance. The reception and interpretation of speech is located in the Wernicke area. Medial temporal lobes include - the hippocampi, essential for memory storage Basal ganglia system - extrapyramidal pathway and processing station between the cerebral motor cortex and the upper brainstem. Refine motor movements through interconnections with the thalamus, motor cortex, reticular formation, and spinal cord Cerebellum - aids motor cortex of the cerebrum in the integration of voluntary movement. Processes sensory information from the eyes, ears, touch receptors, and musculoskeletal system. With the vestibular system uses the sensory data for reflexive control of muscle tone, balance, and posture to produce steady and precise movements. Cerebellum's hemispheres have - ipsilateral (same side) control of the body Brainstem - pathway between cerebral cortex and spinal cord; controls many involuntary functions Brainstem structures - medulla oblongata, pons, midbrain, and diencephalon. The nuclei of the 12 cranial nerves arise from these structures. Thalamus - major integrating center for perception of various sensations (pain, temperature) and cortical processing for interpretation; also relays sensory aspects of motor information between the basal ganglia and cerebellum. Pons - transmits information between the brainstem and the cerebellum, where motor information from the cerebral cortex is relayed to the contralateral cerebellar hemisphere. Medulla oblongata - where descending corticospinal tracts decussate (cross to the contralateral side). Medulla oblongata - CN IX to XII Respiratory, circulatory, and vasomotor activities; houses respiratory center Reflexes of swallowing, coughing, vomiting, sneezing, and hiccupping; relay center for major ascending and descending spinal tracts that decussate at the pyramid Pons - CN V to VIII Reflexes of pupillary action and eye movement Regulates respiration; houses a portion of the respiratory center Controls voluntary muscle action with corticospinal tract pathway Midbrain - CN III and IV Reflex center for eye and head movement Auditory relay pathway Corticospinal tract pathway Diencephalon - CN I and II Thalamus Relays impulses between cerebrum, cerebellum, pons, and medulla (see Fig. 23.4) Conveys all sensory impulses (except olfaction) to and from cerebrum before their distribution to appropriate associative sensory areas Integrates impulses between motor cortex and cerebrum, influencing voluntary movements and motor response Controls state of consciousness, conscious perceptions of sensations, and abstract feelings Epithalamus - Houses the pineal body - sexual development and behavior Hypothalamus - Major processing center of internal stimuli for autonomic nervous system; maintains temperature control, water metabolism, body fluid osmolarity, feeding behavior, and neuroendocrine activity Pituitary gland - Hormonal control of growth, lactation, vasoconstriction, and metabolism Olfactory - (I) Sensory: smell reception and interpretation Optic - (II) Sensory: visual acuity and visual fields Oculomotor - (III) Motor: raise eyelids, most extraocular movements Parasympathetic: pupillary constriction, change lens shape Trochlear - (IV) Motor: downward, inward eye movement Trigeminal - (V) Motor: jaw opening and clenching, chewing, and mastication Sensory: sensation to cornea, iris, lacrimal glands, conjunctiva, eyelids, forehead, nose, nasal and mouth mucosa, teeth, tongue, ear, facial skin Abducens - (VI) Motor: lateral eye movement Facial - (VII) Motor: movement of facial expression muscles except jaw, close eyelids, labial speech sounds (b, m, w, and rounded vowels) Sensory: taste— anterior two-thirds of tongue, sensation to pharynx Parasympathetic: secretion of saliva and tears Acoustic - (VIII) Sensory: hearing and equilibrium Glossopharyngeal - (IX) Motor: voluntary muscles for swallowing and phonation (guttural speech sounds) Sensory: sensation of nasopharynx, gag reflex, taste— posterior one-third of tongue Parasympathetic: secretion of salivary glands, carotid reflex Vagus (X) - Sensory: sensation behind ear and part of external ear canal Parasympathetic: secretion of digestive enzymes; peristalsis; carotid reflex; involuntary action of heart, lungs, and digestive tract Spinal accessory - (XI) Motor: turn head, shrug shoulders, some actions for phonation Hypoglossal - (XII) Motor: tongue movement for speech sound articulation (l, t, d, n) and swallowing Acromegaly findings - Face and skull— frontal skull bossing, cranial ridges, mandibular overgrowth, maxillary widening, teeth separation, malocclusion, overbite, skin thickening on the face (tongue, lips and nose), hands and feet leading to enlargement, joint enlargement, swelling, pain; vertebral enlargement, kyphoscoliosis Cardiac ventricular enlargement bilaterally with decreased exercise tolerance Acromegaly def - A rare disease of excessive growth and distorted proportions caused by hypersecretion of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor after closure of the epiphyses, causes slow skeletal growth and soft tissue enlargement; benign pituitary adenoma or other rare tumor most common cause; familial syndromes (e.g., multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 and McCune-Albright syndrome).
