Alterations In Respiratory Function Paper
Alterations in Respiratory Function
1. Define and use the key terms as listed in the assigned readings 2. Using the four adaptive modes of Roy’s Adaptation Model (RAM), recognize human adaptive responses to behavior or stimuli that affect respiratory function. 3. Identify differences, which affect the respiratory system in young, middle, and older adults. 4. Identify signs and symptoms of acute respiratory distress from impaired gas exchange. 5. Incorporate assessment of respiratory risk factors into the nursing history and physical assessment.
6. Identify components of a physical examination for a client with compromised respiratory function. 7. Identify the clinical significance and related nursing implications of laboratory and diagnostic tests and procedures …show more content…
secretion production or thickening of resp. secretions, making difficult for patient to expectorate
Exercise – increases body’s metabolic activity & O2 demand * Rate & depth of respiration increase, enabling person to inhale more O2 & exhale less CO2 * People who exercise for 60 min have lower HR, lower BP, ↓ cholesterol, increased blood flow, ↑ O2 extraction by working muscles * Addition of weight training benefit in ↓ work of heart by ↑ efficiency of other muscles in the body * Fully conditioned people are able to increase O2 consumption by 10-20% because of increased cardiac output & increased efficiency of myocardium
Cigarette Smoking - associated with heart disease, COPD and lung cancer. * Inhaled nicotine enable plaque to build up more quickly in blood vessels, increased risks for blood clots, & causes vasoconstriction in coronary & peripheral vessels
Substance abuse – alcohol & other drugs impair tissue
