The test measure the distance in milliliters that RBC’s descend in normal saline in one hour.Pathologic conditoins increase the protein content of plasma. RBC”s have a tendency t o stack up on each other , increasing their weight and causing them to decsend faster. Therefore the ESR will be increased. Normal male findings are up to 15mm/hour and in females up to 20mm/hour. The ESR is fairly accurate regarding the presence of pathologic conditions when vague symptoms are present. what disease increase the ESR? 39)HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZA- this shot would be contraindicated in the 16 year old patient on steroids b)notify doctor immediately if pt on steroids has . epigastric pain? 40)CHILD CHOREA-ACTIVITY-lower motor neuron disease may cause various abnormal movements.

Cataracts commonly affect both eyes but each cataract progresses indendently. Surgery restores vision in about 95% but without surgery, eventually will result in complete visoin loss. Clinical Manifestations- Blinding glare from headlights when driving at night, poor reading vision, and glare in bright sunlight. Inspection reveals a milky area behind the pupil with advanced cataracts. Specific post op instructions include application of an eye shield or patch as oreder, instillation of eye drops, advise against activities that increase intraocular pressure, such as straing with cough, bowel movement or lifting: rubbing the affected eye: and bending at the waist, avoid laying on stomache, sneezing, and bedrest immediately post op.What woul be cause for concern after this surgery and would be something to call doctor for.? WHICH SIDE SHOULD POST OP LAY ON? bedrest and prone Detached Retina - retina tears or holes rarely heal spontaneously. Sx-floating spots, recurring light flashes, vision deteriorates to looking through a veil or curtain.**result of detached retina**?sensation of a veil in the line of sight. Glaucoma-- gradual loss of perpheral vision.open angle is asymptomatic: vision loss is major late sx.angel closure s/sx pain halo vision, blurred vision, redness, and change in eye appearance.

Ineffective breathing pattern is a priority nursing diagnosis since oxygenation is a basic vital function to survival. Complications from weakness and fatigue may lead too impaired physical mobility and skin integrity. Excessive muscular weakness, easy fatigabililty, diplopia and ptosis and a sleepy, masklike expression are symptoms. The most common medication is pyridostigmine steroids, mestinon, prostignin. WHAT IS THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST?tensilon test.Pt should be instructed to do physically demanding activities in the morning.DECREASED ACETYLOCHOLINE RECEPTORS IN MYASTHENIA GRAVIS.

Provides contrast between various tissues that is more detailed than CT scan or xray. Pt should be advised to remove jewelry .Motor function is affected Pt lie flat on a platform which moves through a magnetized tube. 59)-Electroencephalogram (EEG)- a graphic recording of the electrical activity of the brain. It is diagnostic for seizure disorders to determine the focus of the dysfunction and may also be helpful in the determining the size and location of cerebral infarts. 60)Xray- Shows the postion of normal structures and the displacement of and presence of abnormal shadows. Xray procedures may be combined with use of contrast media such as barium to provide better visualization of abnormal structure and function 61)Radionuclide Bone Scan: An intravevanous injection of radioistotope is administered. The scan visualizes bone in ways which normal radiographic studies cannot since areas of disease generally absorb greater amounts of the radioactive isotope. 62)Electomyograph (EMG)- a recording electrode is placed into a muscle to monitor electrical activity. EMG is used to detect primary muscular disooorders along withh muscular abnormalities caused by other system diseases such as nerve dysfunction. 63)Mononucleosis-the organsim thought to be responsible is Epstein- Barr virus. These Pt’s should avoid strenous activity because the spleen can easily suffer damage. 64)Otitis media- COMMON IN INFANTS BECAUSE THE EAR CANAL IS SHORTER AND LESS ANGELED. NOTE THAT INFANTS PULL ON THE EAR WHEN IN PAIN. ASSESSS FOR RED TYMPANIC MEMBRANE. REMEMBER TO PULL EAR DOWN AND BACK WHEN ADM EARDOPS TO INFANTS.OTTIS MEDIA CAN CAUSE CONDUCTION DEAFNESS B)HEARING LOSS/ CONDUCTIVE OR NEUROSENSORY C)OTOSCLEROSIS-CONDUCTIVE HEARING LOSS. sOUND INTERRUPTED AS IT TRAVELS FROM THE EXTERNAL CANAL TO THE INNER EAR. cAUSED BY SLOW FORMATION OF SPONGEY BONE IN THE AREA WHERE THE INNER EAR BONES CONDUCT SOUND WAVES. SX-SLOW PROGRESSIVE HEARING LOSS, TINNITUS, HEAR CONVERSATION BETTER IN NOISY ENVIRONMENT. 65)LABS TO INDICATE LOSS OF FLUIDS FROM BURNS-INCREASED K,DECREASED Na,INCREASED HEMOGLOBIN AND HEMATOCRIT,METABOLIC ACIDOSIS 66) ESCHAR IS BEST DESCRIBED AS NECROTIC SLOUGH 67)FOR A PT WITH CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, WHAT SKIN COLOR WOULD YOU INITIALLY EXPECT TO FIND?
