Respiratory Part 2
Medical Surgical Nursing
Influenza• AKA– Flu
• Highly contagious• Pathogen– Viral
• Epidemic– Rapid and extensive spreading infection and
affecting many individuals in an area or a population at the same time
FYI
• Influenza & its complications (primarily bacterial pneumonia) are the 8th leading cause of death in the US.
• @60,000 year
H1N1
• Newly identified stain• Pandemic–(World-wide
epidemic)
Mode of transmission
• Airborne droplet• Direct contact
Influenza Statistics
• Incubation period–Short
• Onset–Rapid
• Duration–Up to a week
Influenza: S&S (local)
• Runny nose• Sore throat• Cough–Dry–Non-productive
productive– Substernal burning
Influenza: S&S (systemic)
• Chills & fever• H/A• Malaise• Muscle aches• Fatigue &
weakness
Older adults
• Higher risk of–Complications•Pneumonia•Death
Why are older adult more susceptible to complications of influenza?
• Cilia– i
• Chest muscle strength– i
• Chest wall– Stiffer
• Cough– Less effective
Assessment
• S&S• Vital Signs
IDT
• “Most URI’s are self-limiting”
IDT
• Self-care• Symptomatic relief• Prevent
complications• Prevent spread
Dx test
• Throat swab– R/O streptococci
• CBC– WBC normal • Vial
– WBC increased• Bacterial
• Chest x-ray– R/O pneumonia
Flu Vaccine: Is it effective?
• Polyvalent influenza virus vaccine
• 85% effective
Flu Vaccine: Who should get it?
• Age >50 years• Nursing home residents• Pg women• Chronically ill• Immunosuppressed• Resp. conditions• Healthcare workers• Fam. members of those
at risk
Flu Vaccine: Who should not get it?
• Allergic to eggs
Small Group Questions
1. What pathogen is assoc. with flu?2. Identify 5 S&S of the flu3. What type of isolation would you use for a
client with the flu4. Mary asks you if she should get the flu
vaccine, how do you respond?5. What priority nursing diagnosis would you
give for a person with the flu?
Which of the following nursing interventions is appropriate after a
client has had a bronchoscopy?A. Report abnormal lab valuesB. Lay flat for 8 hours with a sand bag
to the puncture siteC. NPO until gag reflex returnsD. Push fluids
Tuberculosis
• AKA–TB
Tuberculosis - FYI
• Causes more death than any other disease. 2 billion world wide, 15 million in the US
Tuberculosis - FYI
• When treated, about 90% of those with active TB survive!
Tuberculosis
• Pathophysiology– Mycrobacterium
tuberculosis– Tubercle bacillus
Tuberculosis
Pathophysiology• Mode of transmission– Air-borne
• alveoli• Multiplies in alveoli
Tuberculosis
• Immune response phase–Macrophages attack TB– TB has waxy cell wall that protects it from
macrophages– Immune system surrounds the infected
macrophages– Forms a Lesion–Called a Tubercle
Tuberculosis• Dormant phase–Contagious?• No
– Symptomatic?• No
–PPD?• positive
– chest x-ray?• Negative
Tuberculosis
• Active phase–If an infected person has a weakened
immune system, –the TB escapes and infects the body
Tuberculosis• 5-10% become active• Only contagious when
active• Primarily affect lungs
but…– Kidneys– Liver– Brain– Bone
TuberculosisEtiology• Assoc. w/– Poverty– Malnutrition– Overcrowding– Substandard housing– Inadequate health care
• Elderly• HIV• Prison
Tuberculosis: S&S (active phase)• NOC sweats• Low grade fever• Wt loss• Chronic productive cough–Rust colored & thick
• Hemoptysis • SOB
Tuberculosis: Dx test• PPD –Mantoux skin test–> 10mm in diameter– induration – Indicates: • Latent TB
–Read• 48-72 after
– Intradermal: • 15-degrees
Tuberculosis
• Diagnostic tests– X-ray– Symptoms– Acid Fast Bacillus
Tuberculosis: Tx / Rx
• INH– isonicotinyl hydrazine – Isoniazid – Toxic to the liver
• Rifampin– Turns urine red
Tuberculosis: Prevention
• Clean well ventilated living areas• Resp. isolation –Negative pressure room
• If exposed take–INH
Tuberculosis: complication• Malnutrition• S/E of Rx treatment• Multi-drug resistance• Spread of TB infection
Small Group Questions
1. What type of pathogen is TB?2. What is the mode of transmission?3. What are the classic S&S of TB ?4. How to administer and read a PPD?5. If a pt is PPD +, what does that mean?
Small Group Questions
6. What is the standard screening method of TB?
7. That medications are used to treat TB, what are their side effects?
8. Where in the US is TB most prevalent? Why?
COPD - overview
COPD?– Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease– Broad classifications of diseases
COPDCharacteristics
• Airflow limitation • Irreversible• Dyspnea on exertion• Progressive• Abn. inflammatory response of the lungs
to noxious particles or gases
Pathophysiology
• Noxious particles of gas • Inflammatory response • Narrowing of airway
Pathophysiology
• Inflammation • Thickening of the wall of the
pulmonary capillaries
COPD
• Includes–Emphysema–Chronic bronchitis
• Does not include–Asthma
COPD - FYI
• COPD 4th leading cause of death in the US• 12th leading cause of disability• Death from COPD is on the rise while death
from heart disease is going down
COPD: Risk Factors
• Smoking• Passive smoking• Occupational
exposure• Air pollution
COPD risk factors
• #1– Smoking
• Why is smoking so bad??–↓ phagocytes–↓ cilia function–↑ mucus production
Chronic Bronchitis
• Disease of the airway• Definition:– cough + sputum production – > 3 months
Chronic Bronchitis
Pathophysiology• Pollutant irritates airway • Inflammation• h secretion of mucus • Bronchial walls thicken – Lumen narrows–plugs
Chronic Bronchitis
• Alveoli/bronchioles become damaged• ↑ susceptibility to LRI
Emphysema: Pathophysiology
• Affects alveolar membrane–Destruction of alveolar wall–Loss of elastic recoil–Over distended alveoli
Emphysema
Pathophysiology• Over distended alveoli–Damage to adjacent pulmonary
capillaries–Impaired passive expiration
Emphysema
• Damaged pulmonary capillary bed– h pulmonary pressure – h work load for right ventricle – Right side heart failure
Emphysema
• Nursing Diagnosis–Impaired gas exchange
COPD Compare and contrast
• Chronic Bronchitis is a disease of the ___________?–Airway
• Emphysema is a disease affecting the ___________?–Alveoli
C.O.P.D.
• Risk factors, S&S, treatment, Dx, Rx - same for Chronic Bronchitis & Emphysema
C.O.P.D.
Clinical Manifestation (primary)
1. Cough2. Sputum production3. Dyspnea on exertion(Secondary)• Wt. loss• Resp. infections• Barrel chest
C.O.P.D.Nrs. Assessment
• Risk factors• Past Hx / Family Hx• Pattern of development• Presence of comobidities• Current Tx• Impact
Dx tests
• ABG’s–Baseline PaO2
• Rule out other diseases–CT scan–X-ray
C.O.P.D. Medical Management
• Risk reduction– Smoking cessation!• (The only thing that slows down the
progression of the disease!)
C.O.P.D. Rx. therapy
Primary• Bronchodilators• CorticosteriodsSecondary• Antibiotics• Mucolytic agents• Anti-tussive agents
Bronchodilators• Action:–h the size of the lumen–Relieve bronchospasms–Reduce airway obstruction–↑ ventilation
Bronchodilators
• Examples–Albuterol (Proventil, Ventolin, Volmax)–Metaproterenol (Alupent)–Ipratropium bromide (Atrovent)–Theophylline (Theo-Dur)*
Glucocorticoids
• Action–Potent anti-inflammatory agent
Corticsteriods
• S/E–Na+ & H20 retention–Never D/C abruptly
Glucocorticoids
• Examples–Prednisone–Methyprednisone–Beclovent
C.O.P.D. Medical Management
• Treatment–O2• 2 L/min
–Pulmonary rehab• Breathing exercises• Pulmonary hygiene
Small Group Questions
1. What 2 diseases are assoc. with COPD?2. Describe the pathophysiology of COPD.3. What effect does smoking have on the resp.
system?4. Differentiate between chronic bronchitis and
emphysema.5. What are the 3 main S&S of COPD?6. What 2 classifications of meds are used to treat
clients with COPD (what are their actions)?
Pneumonia
Pathophysiology• An inflammatory process in which there
is consolidation –In the alveolar spaces.
• Gas exchange cannot take place in consolidated area
PneumoniaCausative agents• Viral pneumonia• Bacterial Pneumonia
– Streptococcus pneumoniae– Pneumocystis Pneumonia
• Fungal pneumonia• Radiation pneumonia• Chemical pneumonitis• Aspiration pneumonia• Hypostatis pneumonia
Pneumonia FYI
• Most common cause of death from infectious agents• 66,000 deaths / year• $$$
Pneumonia: Progression of events• Inflammation • h Exudate • i movement of O2 and CO2 • WBC migrate into the alveoli
• Fill air-containing spaces• i ventilation – i Oxygen saturation
Pneumonia: Risk factors
• Immunosuppressant• Smoking• Prolonged immobility• Depressed cough reflex• NPO• ETOH intoxication• Gen. anesthetic or opiod• Advanced age
Pneumonia: S&S TYPICAL
• Onset– Acute
• Shaking• Chills• Fever• Cough
– Productive• Sputum
– Rust-colored – Purulent
Pneumonia: S&S TYPICAL
• Chest pain– Sharp– Localized
• Breath sounds– Diminished– Crackles – Respiratory distress
Pneumonia: S&S ATYPICAL
• “Walking pneumonia”• Milder symptoms• Fever• H/A• Muscle aches• Malaise
Pneumonia: S&S ATYPICAL
• Cough–Hacking–Non-productive
• Self limited
S&S Elderly
• General deterioration• Weak• Abd. Symptoms–Anorexia
• Confusion• Tachycardia• Tachypnea
• Do Not C/O–Cough–Pain–Fever –Sputum
Pneumonia: Dx
• Sputum C&S• CBC / WBC–h• Bacteria
–i• Viral
• ABG’s• Pulse oximetry• Chest x-ray
Pneumonia: Medications
• Primary– Antibiotics– Bronchodilators– Expectorant
Antibiotics
• Action–Attacks pathogens
• Nursing consideration– Educate to take all –Not contagious after 24 hours on meds
Bronchodilators
• Dilate bronchi• Reduce bronchospasms• Improve ventilation
Expectorants
• Break up mucus–i viscosity
• Liquefies mucus • Easier to expectorate• Take with lots of water!
Pneumonia: Medications
• Secondary–Antibiotics–Antipyretic–Analgesic
Pneumonia: Nursing
• Fluids– 2,500 – 3,000 mL/day– Humidifier
• Chest physiotherapy– TCDB– I.S.
• Assess respiratory status• Position
– HOB • Rest

Lung Cancer
Pathophysiology• Carcinogen binds to
the DNA and changes it
• Abnormal growth• Usually develops on
the wall of the bronchial tree
FYI
• Lung Cancer is the number one cancer killer in the US
Lung CancerEtiology/Contributing factors• #1
– Tobacco Smoke (85%)– Second hand smoke
• Carcinogens– Asbestos– Uranium– Arsenic– Nickel– Iron oxide– Radon– Coal dust
Lung Cancer
Clinical manifestations: early• Insidious and
asymptomatic • until late stages
FYI
– 70% of lung CA have metastasized by the time of diagnosis
Lung Cancer
S&S: Early• Objective symptoms
– #1: • Cough
– #2 • Repeated respiratory
tract infection– Wheezing– Dyspnea
Lung Cancer
S&S: Late• Hemoptysis • Chest pain• Wt loss• Anemia• Anorexia
Lung Cancer
Dx exams/procedures• X-ray• CT scan• Biopsy via
Bronchoscopy– cytology
Lung Cancer
Treatment• Surgery– Removal
• Chemotherapy – Metastasis
• Radiation – To shrink or reduce
symptoms
Lung CA
• Priority Nrs Dx– Ineffective
breathing– Ineffective Airway
clearance– Ineffective Gas
exchange
Assessment

Activity intolerance
• Document response to activity– Pulse– Resp. status– Fatigue
• Planned rest periods• Increase activities
gradually• Enc to remain as active as
possible
• Allow fam. To provide assist PRN
• Keep frequently used objects nearby
Pain
• Assess pain• Administer
analgesics PRN
PAIN & CANCER
• “For cancer pain, maintain a continuous medication schedule using opiates, NSAIDs and other drugs as ordered”– Addiction is not a concern for the terminal cancer
client; adequate pain relief that does not allow “breakthrough” pain is vital.
Pain
• Assess pain• Administer analgesics
PRN• Alternative pain relief– Massage– Positioning– Distraction– Relaxation techniques
Pain
• Provide diversion activities– TV– Reading– Social events
• Allow family to remain
Grieving
• Spend time with client & family
• Answer questions honestly
• Enc. Pt to express feelings (fear, anxiety, concerns)
• Assist to understand the grief process
Grieving
• Enc other support systems– Spiritual– Social groups– Social services– Hospice
• Discuss advanced directives– Living will
Lung Cancer
Preventative measures• Stop smoking
Small Group Questions
• What is the number one carcinogen of lung cancer?
