About respiratory disorders and care notes
GoConqr OriginalUsing Respiratory Disorders and Care notes
These notes offer several ways into the unit. Start with the chapter key terms if you want to review vocabulary, then use the chapter summary answers to revisit questions about ventilation, respiration and perfusion. For a care scenario, the notes titled She's Going Home include a narrative and learning aims about childhood asthma.
Follow a care topic
Diagnostic Testing covers imaging and bronchoscopy. Oxygen Delivery and Positive Pressure lists supplemental oxygen devices and positive pressure considerations. For a closer look at ventilation, read Mechanical Ventilation alongside Troubleshooting Ventilators.
After reading a note, write down the points you can explain without looking. Return to the note to check anything you missed. When you want a visual overview or a chance to test your recall, switch to a mind map or quiz on the unit page. Choose a note that matches what you are studying and work from there.
