Which statment is correct regarding the drug management of asthma. SATA
-Reliever medications are used to stop an asthma attack once it has started.
-Control therapy medications are used to prevent asthma attacks from occurring.
-Control therapy medications are used to reduce airway responsiveness.
Control (formerly called preventive) therapy is used to reduce airway responsiveness to
prevent the occurrence of asthma attacks. This therapy is used every day, regardless of
symptoms. Reliever drugs are indicated when symptoms of an attack occur to decrease
the duration and severity of the attack. Long-acting beta agonists do not act quickly
enough to relieve acute symptoms; they are indicated for their long-term impact on
symptoms . Anti inflammatory drugs decrease inflammation and can be beneficial in the
treatment of asthma; however , they do not cause bronchodilation.
Which level of severity will the p/t with COPD have with a forced expiratory
volume in 1 second (FEV1)/forced vital capcity (FVC) of 65% of predicted value
and an FEV of 55% of the predicted value?
II; Moderate
This patient has intermittent symptoms and has an FEV1/ FVC of less than 70% of
predicted value and an FEV1 between 50% and 80% of predicted value, which means
, the patient has moderate COPD. Patients with mild COPD do not have dyspnea.
Patients with severe COPD have an FEV1 between 30% and 50 % of predicted value
with persistent symptoms . Patients with very severe COPD have an FEV1 less than
30% or less than 50 % of the predicted value with respiratory failure along with more
severe symptoms .
Which two assessment findings are changes secondary to COPD?
Barrel chest and finger clubbing
With a barrel chest, the ratio between the anteroposterior diameter of the chest and its
lateral diameter is 2:2, rather than the normal ratio of 1:1.5 . This shape change results
from lung over-inflation and diaphragm flattening. Finger clubbing is an indication of
decreased arterial oxygen levels seen in COPD. Emphysema and bronchitis are two
diseases under the COPD umbrella. Wheezing is likely to be present during an asthma
attack and airway obstruction but would more likely be of limited duration. Excess
mucus would be indicative of inflammation. Crackles in the lungs would indicate the air
moving through mucus/fluid in the airways; this would potentially clear with pulmonary
hygiene .
Which assessment finding is associated w/ obstructive lung disease and not with
interstitial lung disease?
-Barrel Chest
Interstitial lung diseases are restrictive, not obstructive, so they do not cause barrel
