NR 602 Quiz Week 3
Quiz 3 Chap 13 (sports child and adolesents , 32 ( respiratory disorders, 35 ( GU) , 33 (GI), 38 (
Musculosketal) , 40( common injuries )
The following topics could potentially be tested on week 3 quiz.
Respiratory infections
URI- viral infection of rhinovirus or coronaviruses. Peak winter and spring.
Sx- congestion, sore throat, rhinorrhea
Tx- hydration, OTC anti pyretic, normal saline rinses of the nares
Complications—OM and sinusitis
1. Foreign body aspiration- know sx; interpret scenario
Hx- rapid onset of hoarseness, sudden episode of cough, unilateral wheeze and recurrent pneumonia.
Dx- CXR- local emphysema- area that does not inflate or deflate, suspect FB aspiration. Bronchoscopy or
direct laryngoscopy
Refer to pulmon.
2. Restrictive airway disease- decreased lung compliance with relatively normal flow rates. Key
findings are rapid RR and decreased tidal volume/capacity.
3. Sinusitis- cannot be dx until 10-14 days w/ lack of symptom improvement or dev or new sx such
as facial pain. Severe onset of worsening course after 10 days w/o clinical improvement requires
oral abx.
Tx- watchful wait or amoxicillin w/ or w/o clauvunate
4. Bronchiolitis-pg 817- disease that causes inflamm, necrosis, and ededma of resp epithelial cells in
lining of aiways. Most commonly caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Common in
children < 2. Contagous, spread thu droplet.
Sc- URI sx of cough coryza, rhinorrhea, progresses over 3-7 days, gradual resp distress noisy raspy
breathing, audible exp wheeze, low grade to mod fever, decrease in appetite. Worsening fever with
bacterial infection.
Tachypnea, retractions, exp wheeze, fine/coarse crackeles
Dx- CXR if needed.
Tx- supportive care, supplemental O2
6. Pneumonia-pg 823- Sx
-lower resp tract infect ass w/ fever and resp sx involving the parenchyma of the lung.
Risk factors- male gender, low SES, poor nutrition, lack of breast feeding, smoke exposure, drug/alcohol
use, GERD, tracheosophageal fistula, immunodeficiency.
Sx- fever, cough, tachypnea,….60 breaths/min infant’s <2, 50 breaths/min in children 2 to 11 months, 40
breaths/min age 1-5increased work of breathing, hypoxia, nasal flaring, rales, retraction, rhonchus lung
sounds
Dx- CXR for 3 yrs and > who does not improve in 72 hrs on standard tx.
Tx- azithromycin or amoxicillin
7. Asthma-chronic resp disease characterized by periods of coughing, wheezing, resp distress,
and bronchospasm. Pathophys: result of immunohistopathologi responses that produce
shedding of airway epithelium and collagen deposits beneath the basement membrane.
Factors that precipitate- viral/bacterial infections, exposure to known irritants, GERD, tobacco smoke,
environmental changes, exercise, AR/sinusitis, drugs, food, allergies- dust, mites2
Sx- wheezing, continuous/persistent cough, long expiratory phase, diminished breath sounds, signs of resp
distress- tachypnea, retractions, nasal flaring, accessory muscles, apprehension, drowsiness, tachycardia,
cyanosis of lips
Dx- o2 sat, PFT- spirometry
FEV1- amount of air expelled in 1 sec FVC
>75%- normal 80-120%- normal
60-75 mild obstruct 70-79%- mild
50-59% moderate obstruct 50-69%- moderate
<49% severe obstruct <50%- severe
Levels of Severity pg 567
Mild -Wheezing @ end of expiration or no wheezing
-No or minimal intercostal retraction along posterior
axillary line
-slight prolongation of expiratory phase
-normal aeration in al lung fields
-can talk in sentences
Moderate -Wheezing throughout expiration
-Intercostal retractions
-Prolonged expiratory phase
-Decreased breath sounds at the base
Severe -Use of accessory muscles plus lower rib and
suprasternal retractions, nasal flaring
-inspir and expir wheezing or no wheezing heard w/
poor air exchange
-suprasternal retractions w/ abd breathing
-decreased breath sounds throughout base
Impending resp arrest -Diminished breath sounds over entire lung field
-tiring, inability to maintain resp
-severely prolonged expiration if breath sounds are
heard
-drowsy, confused
See pg 572/573 for table and stepwise treatment.
8. Rotavirus-viral gastroenteritis
Transmit- fecal-oral, inanimate objects
Dx-enzyme immunoassay and latex agglutination
Duration- 3-8 days
Sx- acute-onset of fever vomiting and watery diarrhea occur 2-4 days later in children older than 5 and
those 3-24 mo.
Tx- supportive, replace electrolytes
Rotavirus vaccine, hygiene and diapering
9. SalmonellaTransmit- contaminated eggs, poultry, unpasteurized milk, juice, cheese, raw fruits, veggies, fecal contam
of water
Dx-stool cultures- + leukocytes gross blood
Duration-1-3 days
Sx- diarrhea, fever, abd cramps, rebound tenderness, vomiting
Tx- supportive care- Abx for infants < 3 mo. Use ampicillin, amoxicillin, azithromycin or bactrim
10. Clostridium difficile
-Transmission- environment or stool of other colonized or infected ppl by fecal-oral route.
Sx- mild to explosive diarrhea, bloody stools, abd pain, fever, N/V, watery diarrhea low grade fever/abd
pain
Dx- stool cultures, enzyme immunoassay for toxin a, or A and B, gross blood, leukocytes3
Tx- D/c current Abx, Fluid and electrolyte replacement, supplement w/ probiotics
Complications- pseudomembranous colitis, toxic megacolon, colonic perf, relapse, intractable proctitis
10. Cryptosporidium- illness caused by protozoan parasaite cryptosporidium
Sx- watery diarrhea, abd cramps, loss of appetite, low-grade fever, N/V. Sx can last for up to 2 wks
sometimes 4.
Tx- supportive
