, NR 601 Final Exam Study Guide And Practice Questions

How to conduct Mini-Cog-
 The Mini-Cog has been demonstrated to have comparable psychometric properties to the MMSE
 The primary advantage of the Mini-Cog is that it is shorter than the MMSE and measures executive function.
 It is composed of a three-item recall and the Clock Drawing Test (CDT) and takes about 3 minutes to administer
 The Mini-Cog is a short dementia assessment that combines three-word recall with clock-drawing capability.
 Patients are given a total score reflecting accuracy in clock drawing and recollection of the given three words.
 A score of 0 to 2 is a positive screen for dementia
Causes of delirium in elderly-
 Causes of delirium are numerous and in elderly hospitalized patients there are often multiple etiologies, including
metabolic, infection, cardiac, neurological, pulmonary, sensory impairments, medications, and toxins.
 Regardless of cause, a consistent finding is significant reduction in regional cerebral perfusion during periods of
delirium in comparison with blood flow patterns after recovery.
 A possible neurological common pathway may involve acetylcholine and dopamine, and the disruption in the
sleep-wake cycle in delirium indicates melatonin as a possible factor. (Kennedy-Malone 59)
Agnosia
 Loss of ability to identify objects
ADA criteria for diagnosing DM-
 FPG ≥126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L). Fasting is defined as no caloric intake for at least 8 h.*
 2-h PG ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) during OGTT. The test should be performed as described by the WHO, using
a glucose load containing the equivalent of 75-g anhydrous glucose dissolved in water.*
 A1C ≥6.5% (48 mmol/mol). The test should be performed in a laboratory using a method that is NGSP certified
and standardized to the DCCT assay.*
 In a patient with classic symptoms of hyperglycemia or hyperglycemic crisis, a random plasma glucose ≥200
mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L).
• Urinary incontinence-
 Involuntary loss of urine from the bladder
▪ So common in women many consider it normal
▪ Common in older men w/ enlarged prostate
o Can affect quality of life
o Significance-One of the most common complains w/ older adults, Distress & embarrassment, Cost burden to pt&
society as a whole, Not life-threatening, may effect QOL, PCP essential to educating individuals
o Epidemiology- Increased prevalence w/ age in men & women, Nursing home population – 40-70%, Often a factor in
placement
▪ URGENCY UI is greater in men
▪ STRESS UI is greater in women
o Terminology
▪ UI- Unintentional voiding, loss or leakage of urine
▪ Continuous incontinence-Continuous loss or leak of urine
▪ Increased daytime frequency-More frequent during day than considered normal
▪ Nocturia-Interruption of sleep one or more times due to the need to urinate – increases in frequency after age 50
▪ Urgency-Sudden, compelling desire to pass urine that’s difficult to prevent
▪ Overactive bladder syndrome- Urgency, frequency, nocturia w/ or w/o incontinence
o Risk Factors-Aging,Obesity,Smoking, Caffeine,Uncontrolled DM, Constipation,Use of diuretics
o Risk Factors by gender-Women:Aging, obesity, smoking, caffeine intake, DM, pregnancy, multiparity, estrogen
deficiency, hx of pelvic surgery, diuretics
Men:Aging, obesity, smoking, caffeine, DM, prostate dx, hx of prostate surgery, hx of UTIs, diuretics
o Physical changes w/ aging that contribute to UI
▪ Lower urinary tract-Detrusor muscle over activity,Decrease in detrusor contractility, Increase in post void
residual,Decrease in urethral blood flow
