discuss primordial, primary, tertiary, secondary prevention, for COPD
|
primordial: telling kids not to smoke so they dont have COPD
primary: tell a smoker to quit before they have any signs of COPD secondary: screen for something that wouldn't be seen yet (xray or spirometry) teritary: getting smoker to quit after you know they have COPD |
|
leading cause of death
|
lifestyle
|
|
leading cause of death (that leads to it)
|
smoking
|
|
leading cause of death
|
heart disease
|
|
what info do you give someone who is in the pre-contemplative state with resepct to smoking
|
info on how their disease causes problems because you haven't even thought about quitting
|
|
what info do you give someone who is in the contemplative state with respect to smoking
|
this is how the drugs work to help you quit
|
|
if you have a person with a slew of problems, do you attack all of them at once?
|
no you let the patient pick one of their major problems (YOU DO NOT PICK)
|
|
incidence, prevalence, etc,
|
know the definitions
|
|
what is absolute risk? example
|
1 in 10000
|
|
relative risk?
|
risk exposed/ risk unexposed
|
|
attributed risk
|
added risk of death attributed to the risk ?
risk attributed to that risk factor above and beyond the normal risk would be absolute risk |
|
U.S. Preventative Task Force Classification Codes
|
A- strongly reccommends
B- recommends C- no recommendation D- recommends against (too many FN or FP) I- insufficient evidence to recommend remember, these classifications are based on research, so if you strongly reccommend it, that means the benefit way outweighs the risk and so on and so on |
|
barriers to screening
|
dont have time
cost problems reimbursement problems |
|
Which is more effective, community or physician initiatives for prevention?
|
community
|
|
what will increase the likelihood of getting a patient to quit smoking: telling them they have high blood pressure or actually telling them?
|
TELL THEM!!
|
|
what are Latent errors
what about systems errors? |
Latent errors:
design of work conditions of work training design and maintenance of equipment Systems errors: one mistake leads to one event that cannot be prevented |
|
3 ways to minimize errors
|
standardization
redundancy self-correcting: if something were to go wrong it corrects itself |
|
push a button to give a dose for a patient where that dose is not appropriate
the machine prompts you to say, this is not a normal dose what is this an example of? |
an example of self-correcting for errors
|
|
differentiate btw injury and disease
|
Injuries are much more common than disease, you must distinguish the difference by exposure
One exposure or multiple in rapid succession= injury prolonged exposure= disease |
|
what is the difference btw disability and impairment
|
impairment: physician determined
disability: done by law |
|
pianist and lose a finger disabled or impaired?
|
disabled
|
|
hierarchy of controls
|
best thing to is to make it automated, worst thing is ear protection because people dont really use them
This is how he said he is going to ask the question... here is a problem... how would you prevent it? Always pick the answer that involves humans the LEAST. Substitution/elimination at the top--> engineering controls -->administrative controls --> PPE |
|
Coombs test for HS, which type do you see
|
most things are type 1 or 4
|
|
differentiate restriction vs obstructive disease
|
obstructive FEV 1 decrease, absolute line should go to the normal
restrictive: line goes below normal for Total lung volume 1. Obstructive: FVC normal unless severe obstruction, FEV1 decreases, FEV1/FVC ratio decreased (used to diagnose) 2. Restrictive: FVC decreased, FEV1 normal or , FEV1 ratio is normal |
|
intrinsic asthma vs. somethin else
|
he went fast, fill this in
|
|
if spirometry is normal and you think they may have asthma what do you do next
|
methelene choline test
|
|
when trying to figure out if it is occupational asthma or not, what is important?
if work related what do you need to do |
looking at history
if work related: need to take them out of that environment |
|
irritant vs. allergic contact dermatitis
|
irritant: react to a chemical
contact: only people allergic to it will have the type IV reaction (like poison ivy or nickel) |
|
pleural vs parenchymal
for asbestos ON TEST |
pleural: chronic plaques
parenchymal: acute grainy fiberglass type appearance |
|
greatest source of disability in work?
|
low back pain
|
|
what is the greatest expense to the system for disability?
|
TTD
|
|
if a person is using latex with additives, what are the allergic reactions going to be?
|
true latex allergy: type 1
due to additives: type 4 |
|
if you have pleural plaques do you have asbestosis?
|
NOOOOOO
|
|
pleural changes with asbestos
|
Chronic
Benign: plaques, thickening, effusions Malignant: mesothelioma |
|
parenchymal changes with asbestos
|
“Benign” (fibrosis) = asbestosis
Malignant (lung cancer) |
|
is there a relationship between cigarettes and parenchymal changes with asbestosis?
|
parenchymal: YES synergistic
|
|
merging areas in public health
