Q-1
a) Define Cerebro Vascular Accident (CVA). Define CVA.03
Definition:
Cerebrovascular accident is also called stroke. Stroke is also often called brain attack. Cerebrovascular accident is a condition in which the brain cells, tissues and any particular brain part are not supplied with sufficient amount of oxygen due to insufficient amount of blood supply. Due to this, the brain cells, tissues and parts of the brain are not supplied with sufficient amount of oxygen. Therefore, the part of the brain cannot function properly and it is called brain damage. The body function performed by the part is also impaired.
1) Ischemic stroke:
This type of stroke occurs due to interruption of blood supply to the brain.
Thrombotic Stroke:
This type of stroke arises due to the formation of a blood clot in one or more blood vessels of the brain, a condition called thrombotic stroke.
Embolic Stroke:
In this stroke, a blood clot forms in any of the blood vessels of the body and that blood clot travels to the blood vessels of the brain and then the blood clot that has traveled gets stuck in the vessels of the brain, then embolic stroke occurs.
2) Heamorraagic Stroke:
Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when any cerebral vessel ruptures due to any reason, causing bleeding in the brain and due to this, the condition of hemorrhagic stroke arises.

a) What is cirrhosis of liver? Write down types of it. What is cirrhosis of liver? Write down types of it. 08
Definition:
Cirrhosis of the liver is a chronic, degenerative disease in which normal liver cells are damaged and fibrous scar tissues form in the liver. Scar tissues form instead of healthy liver tissues, which blocks blood flow to the liver and prevents the liver from functioning properly, leading to liver failure. The liver becomes distorted, hardened and lumpy.
Classification of liver cirrhosis:
1) Alcoholic cirrhosis
2) Post necrotic cirrhosis
3) Biliary cirrhosis
1) Alcoholic cirrhosis
Alcoholic cirrhosis is also called Laennec’s cirrhosis and is the most common type of cirrhosis.
This cirrhosis is mainly caused by hepatitis – C and chronic alcohol use.
In this, the liver is damaged mainly due to malnutrition and chronic alcohol consumption.
In this type of cirrhosis, fibrous tissues form around the portal area and central veins.
2) Post necrotic cirrhosis:
Post necrotic cirrhosis is mainly caused by any toxic agent and viral hepatitis.
Due to which liver cells are damaged, it is called post necrotic cirrhosis.
Post necrotic cirrhosis occurs in 10-30% of patients. is.
3)Billiary cirrhosis:
Biliary cirrhosis is a chronic disease that occurs mainly due to inflammation and damage to the bile ducts in the liver.
In biliary cirrhosis, fibrous tissue and scar formation occur around the bile ducts of the liver. This causes chronic obstruction of the bile duct

b) Enlist steps of physical examinations and write down any two types in detail. Write the steps of physical examination and explain any two types in detail.
Physical examination uses systemic assessment techniques and visual, auditory, tactile, and olfactory senses. All these senses will be used in specific assessment techniques.
For example.. Often, it is detected by its changes in body fluids.
Four specific techniques are used in physical examination. In which..
Steps of Physical Examination
1.Inspection:
Inspection is a visual examination of the patient. And it is a visual examination of the body. In which the patient’s general appearance, body size, gait, height, shape, posture, etc. are carefully observed. This begins as soon as the nurse makes contact with the patient.
During the inspection phase of the physical assessment, the nurse uses observation skills to systematically collect observable data.
This includes measuring the patient’s respiratory effort, skin color, and wounds.
General Appearance
Status of Consciousness Personal Grooming
Expression: Concerned, Comfortable, Alert, Nervous. Body build: Thin, Fatty, Moderate. In this, the patient’s words are also combined with body language. For example, the patient’s pain experience is related to his body language. During inspection, visualize the maximum area of the body and then compare it with the side of the other body. Compare the width of the right hand with the width of the left hand. Adequate exposure of the body area is very important. Which includes observing color, texture, mobility, symmetry, nutritional status, etc.
2.Palpation:
Palpation means using the hands and fingers to feel the texture, size, shape, placement, location, etc. of the organ. In which the temperature, pulse, texture, moisture, mass, tenderness and pain of the skin are assessed using the finger tips of the hands.
Assess skin, pulse, palpation, and tenderness by pressing 1 cm deep.
Then press 4 cm deep with both hands, which is deep palpation. Use it to determine the size of the organ and the deep organ (liver).
What should be kept in mind while palpating?
3. Percussion:
In simple words, it is called tapping. To get the quality of the sound, the sound is heard against the patient’s body by tapping with the finger. Which is used to reflect the density of internal organs. Sound, vibration and resistance which are produced with different densities and vary from organ to organ and are used to know the size, shape, position, and also to detect fluid field organs.
Percussion is a technique that physicians practice to determine the consistency of tissues.
Percussion involves tapping on the body surface with short or sharp strokes to produce various palpable vibration sounds.
Percussion is used to detect the sound, location, size, shape, and size of many organs of the body. In which the examiner taps on the patient. To produce sound, usually place the middle finger of the non-dominant hand on the percussion area. And place the middle finger of the dominant hand on the non-dominant.
In which percussion is done in two ways.
1.Direct percussion
This is used for the chest of infants and the sinuses of adults. With the help of finger tips, specific parts of the body are struck.
In the tenderness of the kidneys. Listen to the vibrations created.
It is necessary to select the same point two or three times before moving on to another. It is done to get an accurate reading. Fatty patient needs strong percussion.
_Percussion tone: Air la ute, fluid dull and solid area soft.
2. Indirect percussion
This varies according to the area in which the non-dominant hand is placed palm down and the fingers of the dominant hand are gently struck on the CVA e.g. T.. In the kidney….
_Thorax: The middle finger of the dominant hand strikes the interphalangeal joint of the non-dominant hand which lies against the patient’s skin.
Percussion produces a sound which has many sounds and different characteristics.
Characteristics of the sound
Tympanic It is usually heard over the abdomen.
Resonance in normal lung tissue.
Hyper resonance in inflamed lungs.
Dullness in the lungs.
Flatness in the muscles.
4. Auscultation
Auscultation is usually performed with a stethoscope. A stethoscope is used to block out extraneous sounds while assessing the condition of the heart, blood vessels, lungs, pleura, and intestines.
This includes breath sounds, heart vascular sounds, and bowel sounds, etc.
It is commonly used to detect the presence of abdominal sounds and assess their loudness, pitch, quality, frequency, and duration.
The most common sounds heard include those of the lungs, heart, and abdomen and blood vessels.
The chest is auscultated to hear heart sounds. Lung sounds are auscultated anteriorly and posteriorly for normal and abnormal lung sounds. The abdomen is auscultated for bowel sounds.
Characteristics of the sound:
Intensity: Loud, Medium, Soft.
Pitch: Low, High, Medium.
Duration: Short, Long, Medium.
Quality: Booming, Hollow, Dull and Drum-like.
c) What is hypersensitivity reaction? Enlist its types in detail. What is Hypersensitivity Reaction? Explain its types in detail.
Hypersensitivity:
Hypersensitivity is an altered stage of our body’s immunity in which when any antigen enters the human body, the human body’s immune system becomes hyperactive and provides a response to it and creates unacceptable symptoms in the body. This is called Hypersensitivity.
Four types of hypersensitivity:

1) type : 1 hypersensitivity is called ANAPHYLACTIC HYPERSENSITIVITY (anaphylactic hypersensitivity),
2) type : 2 hypersensitivity is called CYTOTOXIC HYPERSENSITIVITY (Cytotoxic Hypersensitivity),
3) type: 3 hypersensitivity is called IMMUNE COMPLEX HYPERSENSITIVITY (Immune Complex Hypersensitivity),
4) Type : 4 hypersensitivity is called DELAYED HYPERSENSITIVITY (Delayed Sensitivity)
1) types: 1 hypersensitivity (Anaphylactic hypersensitivity : Anaphylactic Hypersensitivity)

Symptoms :
2) type : 2 hypersensitivity (Cytotoxic hypersensitivity):

3) Type : 3 hypersensitivity (immune complex hypersensitivity (immune complex hypersensitivity) :

In this type of hypersensitivity, when an antigen binds to an antibody, an immune complex is formed.
