Document Summary

Unit 1 exam review: 5 math; alterations in perfusion: shock ; alteration in perfusion: Shock: syndrome characterized by decreased tissue perfusion and impaired cellular metabolism, imbalance in supply/demand for o2 and nutrients. The exchange of oxygen and nutrients at the cellular level is essential to life. When a cell experiences a state of hypoperfusion, the demand for oxygen and nutrients exceeds the supply at the microcirculatory level. Overview of shock: circulatory system is unable to supply adequate amounts of oxygen to the tissues. Poor contractility decreases stroke volume thus decreasing cardiac output: oxygen delivery (do, oxygen consumption (vo, is the amount of oxygen delivered to the tissues, reflects the amount of oxygen extracted from the blood at the tissue level. It can be measured through evaluation of a blood sample, a mixed venous oxygen saturation (svo. Distributive ( included in distributive shock is septic shock, neurogenic shock and anaphylactic shock. 120- 80 = a pulse pressure of 40.

1. The nurse working in a long-term care facility incorporates a focused assessment of
the immune system for all newly admitted patients over the age of 65. Older adults

are more likely to develop problems related to immune function than are middle-
aged people. The focused immune assessment includes a systemic approach based

on age-related changes in immunologic function. (Learning Objective 4)
a. What changes in the immune system in the older adult increase the incidence of
infection and cancer in this population?
b. Explain why older adults may have decreased inflammatory responses.
c. Why are older adults at increased risk of gastroenteritis and diarrhea secondary
to proliferation of intestinal organisms?

2. The nurse educator for an oncology unit is preparing an in-service presentation for
new nurses about the care of patients with immunodeficiencies. Patients with cancer
who are receiving chemotherapy, as well as those with bone marrow transplants, are
immunocompromised and require special attention to assess for signs of infection.
The nurse educator focuses on special care needs of this patient population.
a. What is the rationale for assessing the pulse and respiratory rates for 1 full
minute in a patient with immunodeficiency?
b. What special precautions about dietary restrictions and food preparation should
be included in the teaching for a patient with immunodeficiency?
c. What nursing actions should be implemented to decrease the risk of infection in
the patient with immunodeficiency?

hoarseness. She complains of feeling extremely tired, unable to sleep at night, and
having difficulty concentrating on her collegiate course work.
a. What further assessment should the nurse provide?

during the history process?
