Q-1

a) Define Cancer.Define Cancer.03

Cancer is a group of diseases in which there is uncontrolled growth of cells and it can also invade nearby tissues and can also spread throughout the body system. Cancer is a disease in which there is uncontrolled growth of cells and their multiplication can also go to nearby organs and can also spread throughout the body. Cancer cells spread in the body through the blood and lymphatic system. Cancer is not a single disease but a group of about 100 types of cancer. Cancer is named after the place, organ or part of the body where it is found.

For example:

if cancer starts from colon it’s called colon cancer

if cancer starts from basal cell of skin its called as a basal cell carcinoma.

a) Define Thalassemia. – Define Thalassemia.03

Thalassemia is a group of hereditary hemolytic anemias. It is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder in which there is a reduction in the synthesis of hemoglobin/inadequate amount of production. Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder in which the body does not produce enough hemoglobin (the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen into the body). In this, red blood cells are destroyed in large amounts, due to which the condition of anemia arises.

b) Describe types of Thalassemia. – Describe the types of thalassemia.04

There are two main types of thalassemia.

  • 1) Alpha thalassemia,
  • 2) Beta thalassemia,

1) Alpha thalassemia,: Alpha thalassemia is a disorder of the alpha chain of hemoglobin. It is seen due to missing or mutation in it.

2) Silent carrier: In this, one or both alpha globin genes are missing or mutated but no symptoms are seen in this.

3) Alpha thalassemia trait: In this, two alpha globin genes are missing or mutated. And due to this, the condition of mild anemia arises, and mild symptoms are seen such as fatigue or pale skin.

4) Hemoglobin H Disease: In this, three alpha globin chains are missing and mutated, causing a condition of moderate to severe anemia. It is characterized by more pronounced anemia, jaundice, enlarged spleen and other symptoms.
5) Alpha Thalassemia Major:
In this, all four alpha globin genes are missing and severely mutated. Due to this, severe anemia and other health problems are seen.

2) Beta Thalassemia,
Beta thalassemia is seen due to the missing or mutation of the beta chain of hemoglobin.
1) Beta thalassemia trait: In this, one beta globin gene is missing and mutated and mostly symptoms are also seen. No.
2) Beta Thalassemia Intermedia:
In this, both beta globin genes are affected to a moderate degree and the symptoms are very wide. Due to this, a condition of mild to severe anemia is seen. Sometimes transfusion is also required in it.
3) Beta Thalassemia Major (Coolis Anemia):
In this, both beta globin genes are severely affected. Due to which the condition of severe anemia arises. In this, transfusion is required from childhood to life long.

Other Classification of the Thalassemia

  • 1) Thalassemia Major,
  • 2) Thalassemia Intermedia,
  • 3) Thalassemia Minor

1. Thalassemia Major (Cooley Anemia):
Thalassemia major is the most severe form of thalassemia.
It occurs when a child inherits two mutated beta globin genes, one from each parent. This results in a significant reduction or absence of beta globin chains, which is a condition of severe anemia.
A person with thalassemia major requires lifelong blood transfusions from childhood to maintain hemoglobin levels and prevent complications.
Without treatment, thalassemia major can cause growth retardation, organ damage, and bone problems, and other health-related conditions.

2. Thalassemia intermedia:
Thalassemia intermedia is an intermediate form of thalassemia, which is less severe than thalassemia major but more severe than thalassemia minor. People with thalassemia intermedia have two mutated beta globin genes, but the degree of severity varies.
Symptoms can range from mild to moderate anemia, and some patients may also require blood transfusions to manage symptoms. Treatment needs vary depending on the severity of symptoms in patients with thalassemia intermedia. Patients with thalassemia intermedia may develop complications such as bone deformities, enlarged spleens, and gallstones, but these are usually less severe than those with thalassemia major.

3. Thalassemia minor (trait):
Thalassemia minor, also known as thalassemia trait, is the mildest form of thalassemia. It occurs when a child inherits a mutated beta globin gene from one parent and a normal beta globin gene from the other parent. Patients with thalassemia minor usually have no symptoms or only mild symptoms of anemia.
Carriers of thalassemia minor usually have slightly lower hemoglobin levels than normal, but they usually do not need treatment. However, carriers of thalassemia minor can pass the gene mutation to their children.

c) Narrate nursing management of patient with Thalassemia. Explain the nursing management of a patient with thalassemia.05

Nursing Management of Thalassemia:

  • Provide complete education to the patient about the condition, its causes, its symptoms and signs, and its treatment.

b) Write down prevention of sexually transmitted disease. Write down prevention of sexually transmitted disease.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases are diseases that are mainly spread through unprotected sexual contact. Such as: Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Trichomoniasis, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B, etc. Proper preventive measures are necessary for the prevention of such diseases.

1. Use of Safe Sex:

  • Regular use of condom: Condoms are the most effective protection for both males and females.
  • Latex or polyurethane condoms should be used in every sexual contact.

2.Sexual relationship with one partner:

  • Mutual Monogamous Relationship is the safest way to prevent STDs.
  • Contact with multiple partners increases the risk of disease.

3.Regular Medical Check-up:

  • People in the high risk group (such as sex workers, intravenous drug users) need to get checked up on time.
  • Screening can catch early infections and prevent further spread.

4.Blood and injection safety:

  • Always screen for blood transfusion Only blood that has been collected should be taken.
  • Do not reuse the same needle. Use only sterile needles and syringes.

5. Vaccination:

  • Hepatitis B and HPV. Getting vaccinated against (HPV – Human Papilloma Virus) can prevent certain STDs.

6.Personal Hygiene:

  • Maintain proper cleanliness of private parts.
  • Do not use other people’s personal items such as undergarments, towels, blades, etc.

7. Education and Counseling:

  • Bringing awareness about STDs to the people through Sexual Health Education.
  • Providing proper guidance to adolescents about Reproductive Health.

8. Precautions during pregnancy:

  • Pregnant women should be screened for HIV, syphilis, etc.
  • If there is an infection, timely treatment should be given so that transmission to the child can be prevented.

c) Write down types of angina pectoris & its risk factors. Angina pectoris types and its risk factors.

Introduction:

Angina pectoris is also known as ‘ischemic chest pain’. Angina pectoris is the medical term used for ‘chest pain’ and ‘discomfort’ caused by coronary heart disease. Angina is not a disease but a symptom of coronary artery disease. Due to plaque deposits in the coronary arteries, it becomes narrowed, due to which not enough blood and oxygen reaches the heart muscles and due to which chest pain is seen.

Types of angina pectoris (Type of angina pectoris):

✓ Stable (Classic) Angina:In stable angina, when exertion, exercise or any stressful activity is done Pain is felt in the chest when it comes. This pain can be relieved by rest and medication.

✓ Unstable Angina: Unstable angina is the least common and most severe type. In which pain is felt in the chest during rest or minimal exertion. Hence it cannot be relieved by rest and medication. This is an impending sign of a heart attack.

Varient Angina:Varient angina, also known as ‘Prinzmetal’ and ‘vasospastic angina’, is characterized by chest pain due to spasm of the coronary arteries. This pain is seen during periods of rest and this pain is seen during midnight as well as early morning hours.

Refractory Angina: Refractory angina is a severe and persistent form of angina in which chest pain is seen even after medication, lifestyle changes, angioplasty and bypass surgery. Therefore, Enhanced External Counter Pulsation (EECP), Spinal Cord Stimulation, Heart Transplantation are done for treatment.

✓ Silent Angina: In silent ischemia, the patient does not feel pain, i.e. there are subjective data omissions. But it can be determined with the help of ECG, exercise stress test, Holter monitoring.

Q-4 Write short notes. Write short notes. (Any three) 12

a) Care of colostomy – Care of colostomy

Colostomy care

  • Maintaining hygiene by regularly emptying the colostomy bag and cleaning the colostomy site is called colostomy care.

Purpose:

  • To prevent leakage.
  • To prevent excoriation of the skin and stoma.
  • To make observations of the stoma and surrounding skin.
  • To educate the patient and caregiver about the care of the colostomy and collection bag.

Articles:

A tray containing :

  • Macintosh with draw sheet : To protect bed and bed linen.
  • Clean disposable gloves : For universal precautions.
  • Colostomy bag : To change if damaged or soiled.
  • Kidney tray with paper bag : To discard waste.
  • Normal saline : To clean the stoma.
  • Basin with warm tap water: To rinse the pouch.
  • Soap in dish: To gently wash the peristomal skin.
  • Gauze piece/gauze pad: To dress the stoma.
  • Tissue paper: To remove any excess stool from the stoma.
  • Stoma measuring Guide, pen, pencil and scissors: To measure the size of the pouch.
  • Skin barrier, zinc oxide ointment: To protect against excoriation if fecal matter comes into contact with the skin.
  • Long sheet: To change the linen if it is soiled.
  • Bed pan with lead: To receive the waste.

Procedure :

  • Explaining the procedure to the patient: To gain his cooperation.
  • Assembling the necessary equipment nearby: Organizations facilitate the performance of the task.
  • Washing hands and wearing gloves: To prevent the spread of microorganisms.
  • Providing privacy and Help the patient to provide a comfortable position (Fowler, semi-Fowler, standing position): Positioning allows the patient to see the procedure in preparation for learning.
  • Empty the partially filled appliance into the bedpan if it is a drainable pouch: Removing the contents before removing the pouch prevents accidental spillage of feces.
  • Slowly remove the appliance starting from the top, keeping the skin of the abdomen taut. If any resistant filling is present, use warm or adhesive solvent to facilitate removal: Careful removal protects the underlying skin from damage and minimizes discomfort for the patient.
  • Use tissue paper to remove excess stool from the stoma. Cover the stoma with a gauze pad: Careful removal protects the underlying skin from damage and minimizes discomfort for the patient.
  • Gently wash the peristomal skin and allow it to dry: While the skin is being prepared, a gauze piece is placed over the stoma. Absorbs any drainage from the stoma.
  • Assess the peristomal skin and appearance of the stoma. A moist reddish-pink stoma is considered normal: changes in normal appearance indicate anemia, altered circulation and should be reported to the physician.
  • If necessary, apply a paste type skin barrier (zinc oxide) and allow the paste to dry for 1-2 minutes. Enhances good cleansing.
  • Applying the skin barrier and appliance together: Establishes a smooth surface for application of the skin barrier and pouch.
  • Select the size of the stoma opening using the guide (measurement).
  • Trace a circle of the same size on the back of the skin barrier in the center.
  • 1/4 th or larger than the actual size of the stoma. Use scissors to cut the 1/18th inch larger size.
  • Remove the backing to expose the sticky size.
  • Easy-fit the barrier and pouch over the stoma and press down gently: Easy-use pouch prevents odor and feces from escaping.

Special Considerations:

  • Flats can cause the pouch balloon to pop out. This requires immediate attention because if the flats are not released, the pouch can separate from the skin. Open the clamp and release the flats. (Never puncture the hole in the appliance).
  • Measure the patient’s fluid intake and output. Check the stoma appliance for quantity and quality of discharge. Record intake and output every 4 hours for the first 3 days after surgery.
  • The stoma site should always be dry. The presence of moisture increases the chance of Candida yeast infection.
  • Flattiness increases as peristalsis returns. Advise the patient that this is an indicator of bowel functioning.

b) Heat stroke

Heat Stroke:

  • Heat stroke is an emergency condition in which body temperature rises due to prolonged exposure to the sun or excessive environmental changes. Elevated.
  • In some conditions, the body’s heat loss mechanisms are lost and the hypothalamus does not function properly. Heat stroke requires immediate medical attention. If not treated properly, it can increase the mortality rate.

Risk Factors:

c) Types of dengue fever – Types of dengue fever

Types of Dengue Fever:

  • Dengue fever is a viral infectious disease caused by the Dengue virus. This virus belongs to the Flaviviridae family and is mainly spread by the Aedes aegypti mosquito.
  • Medically, the types of dengue are classified based on clinical presentation and severity.

The World Health Organization (WHO) mainly classifies dengue as follows:

1) Dengue Fever (DF):

  • Dengue Fever is the common and primary form of the disease.

Main Symptoms:

  • Sudden High Grade Fever
  • Severe Headache
  • Pain behind the eyes (Retro-orbital Pain)
  • Joint and muscle pain (Severe Myalgia and Arthralgia)
  • Nausea, vomiting
  • Skin rash (Maculopapular Rash)

Pathophysiology:

  • Viremia causes an immune response in the body, which causes symptoms such as fever and pain.
  • This type is usually not fatal and recovers within 5–7 days with proper treatment.

2) Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF):

  • Dengue Hemorrhagic Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is a more severe form.

Main Symptoms:

  • Continuous High Grade Fever
  • Bleeding Tendency
  • Nose Bleeding (Epistaxis)
  • Toothache Blood from the molars
  • Bleeding in the abdomen or under the skin (Petechiae)
  • Low platelet count (Thrombocytopenia)
  • Plasma Leakage

Pathophysiology:

  • Capillary permeability increases, which causes plasma leakage and bleeding.
  • Immediate hospitalization is necessary in this condition.

3) Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS):

  • Dengue Shock Syndrome is the most severe and life-threatening form of dengue. It is a threatening form.

Main symptoms:

  • Severe plasma leakage
  • Low blood pressure (Hypotension – Hypotension)
  • Weak and rapid pulse
  • Reduced blood supply to organs (Organ Hypoperfusion – Organ Hypoperfusion)
  • Multi Organ Failure (Multi Organ Failure)

Pathophysiology:

  • Plasma leakage causes a decrease in intravascular volume, resulting in hypovolemic shock.
  • This condition requires ICU care. Treatment is required.

Modern Classification according to WHO 2009:

The World Health Organization classified dengue in 2009 as follows:

1) Dengue without Warning Signs:

  • With common symptoms Dengue.

2) Dengue with Warning Signs:

The following warning symptoms are present:

  • Persistent abdominal pain
  • Persistent vomiting
  • Fluid accumulation Accumulation)
  • Liver Enlargement (Hepatomegaly)
  • Increase in hematocrit and decrease in platelets

3) Severe Dengue:

  • Severe Plasma Leakage
  • Severe Bleeding
  • Severe Organ Involvement

Dengue fever mainly occurs in three classical forms:

  • Dengue Fever (DF)
    Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF)
    Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS)
    And according to WHO in a modern way it is:
  • 1) Dengue without warning signs
    2) Dengue with warning signs
    3) Severe dengue is classified.
    It is possible to reduce the mortality rate through early diagnosis and proper fluid management.

Q-5 Define following (any six) Write the following definition. (Any six) 12

a) Incubation period – Incubation period

  • The period between coming into contact with an infectious agent (bacteria, virus) and the first signs and symptoms are seen is known as the incubation period. For example:-
  • Influenza : 1-4 days
  • COVID 19 : 2-14 days
  • Chickenpox : 10-21 days

b) Sterilization – Sterilization

  • Sterilization is a scientific process in which all types of microorganisms present on any object, instrument or surface, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores, are completely destroyed so that it becomes completely sterile. This process is mainly done to make surgical instruments, dressing materials and hospital equipment free from contamination and methods like autoclaving, dry heat, chemical sterilization and radiation are used to prevent the spread of infection among patients and health care workers and ensure safe treatment.

c) Phlebotomy – Phlebotomy

Phlebotomy is a medical procedure in which an opening is made in a vein. In which a needle is inserted into a vein and blood is removed. This procedure is mainly performed for diagnostic purposes, therapeutic purposes, blood donation, or blood collection. It is also called a venipuncture. This procedure involves removing blood using a needle. This procedure is used to diagnose and treat many medical conditions. It is done.

There are two types: vein puncture and capillary puncture

  • In this, blood is removed using a needle.
  • This procedure is used to diagnose and treat many medical conditions.
  • There are two types: vein puncture and capillary puncture

d) Triage – Triage

Define triage

  • Triage is derived from the French word ‘trier’ which means ‘to short out’ or ‘to sift out’.
  • Triage is a process used in emergency and medical settings in which patients are given priority based on the severity of their condition.
  • Triage involves identifying patients who need early treatment Patients who are in critical condition are separated using color codes and provided with early treatment.

Write types of triage

1) Simple triage:

Simple triage is used when there is a mass casualty incident, the patient needs to be quickly assessed and categorized based on their needs, and resources are limited. Simple triage uses methods such as START (Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment) method and color code system (red, yellow, green and black).

2) Advanced Triage:

Advanced triage is mainly used in hospitalised settings where more resources are available and examination is done in more detail. Advanced triage mainly uses the Emergency Severity Index (ESI) method. In which patients are categorized from level 1 (most urgent) to level 5 (least urgent).

Write about color code of triage

  • Red color :

Red means emergency. Red color indicates ‘immediate’. That is, red color is given to victims with life-threatening conditions. That is, such people need immediate intervention. For example, severe respiratory depression, brain hemorrhage

  • Yellow color:

Yellow means urgent. Such people have serious conditions but are not life-threatening, meaning immediate intervention is not required.

  • Green color :

Green means delayed. Green color is given for minor injuries such as wounds.

  • Black color :

Black means deceased or expectant. People who are dead or who are seriously injured and cannot survive are given black color.

Write advantages of triage

  • Patients are given priority based on their severity and urgency so that they can be treated early.
  • It is useful in making difficult decisions easier.
  • It is useful in making difficult decisions easier.
  • Rapid initial assessment is provided.
  • Ensures that resources are used effectively and their waste is prevented.
  • Minimizes waiting time for critical services.

e) Phantom pain – Phantom pain

  • Phantom pain is a neurological condition in which a person experiences pain in the location of an amputated organ (such as an arm or leg), even though that organ is not actually present in the body. This pain occurs in the location of the amputated organ and the person feels as if the limb is still there – called a phantom limb. This pain can usually be felt in the form of sharp, shooting, burning, cramping, or throbbing. The main cause of phantom limb pain is false impulses from the nervous system and brain, which give information about the presence and pain of organs that are not actually there. This pain appears especially after amputation and can last from short-term to long-term pain. Options such as Medical Intervention, Physical Therapy, Mirror Therapy, Medication etc. are available for the diagnosis and treatment of this pain.

OR

  • Phantom pain is a type of pain or discomfort that occurs especially after the amputation of an extremity. After the extremity is removed, the person perceives the sensation of pain in that place. This type of pain is seen for a few days after the amputation. The mechanism of this type of pain is not yet clearly understood, whether this type of sensation is only perceived by the person or according to some theories, this type of pain is actually felt by the person through the sensation of the brain and spinal cord after the amputation of an extremity or limb.

f) Angiography – Angiography

  • Angiography is an invasive diagnostic imaging procedure, in which blood Radiopaque contrast media is administered by intravascular injection to evaluate the anatomical structure and pathology of blood vessels, followed by X-ray based imaging modalities such as fluoroscopy to diagnose luminal patency, stenosis, occlusion, aneurysm, and other vascular abnormalities of blood vessels.

g) Deep Vein Thrombosis – Deep Vein Thrombosis

  • Deep Vein Thrombosis is a pathological condition in which an intravascular blood clot or thrombus forms in the deep veins, especially in the veins of the lower limb, resulting in obstruction of venous return and clinical symptoms such as local swelling, pain and erythema, and the breakdown of this thrombus into the pulmonary circulation as an embolus. (Pulmonary circulation) can lead to life-threatening conditions like pulmonary embolism.

h) Epistaxis – Epistaxis

  • Epistaxis means nose bleed or nasal hemorrhage. Bleeding from the nostril or nasal cavity is seen due to rupture of vessels in any area of ​​the mucous membrane in the nose, which is called Epistaxis (epistaxis).
  • Epistaxis is also called nose bleed. This is a condition in which active bleeding occurs from the nostrils, nasal cavity, or nasopharynx. This occurs when the blood vessels inside the nose are damaged or injured. Bleeding from the front or back of the nose is called nosebleed or epistaxis.
