2256911662Cycles and Patterns in the Biosphereboundaries hard to pin down, most of organisms exist at the interface between the atmosphere and lithosphere, native plants widespread in sparsely populated areas of world, however much of the vegetation in populated areas has been removed, and much that persists has been modified by human introduction0
2258876577Geographic Approach to Study of Organismsstudy of the distribution patterns of living organisms and how these patterns change over time -geographers look for and explain patterns in biosphere, one of the most significant components of these patterns is biodiversity -declining biodiversity in a location is often an indication that the overall health of the natural is in decline1
2258880323Biogeographynumber of different kinds of organisms present in a location (high, low) -interested in the relationships between different organisms in a location, and in the relationships between those organisms and the surrounding environment2
2258881966Biotatotal complex of plant and animal life3
2258882770Flora/Faunabasic subdivision of biota separates flora from fauna, our primary focus is terrestrial biota vs oceanic4
2258888358Biomeslarge, recognizable assemblages of plants and animals living in a functional relationship with the environment -most appropriate scale for understanding world distribution patterns -collection of plants and animals over a large area that have broadly similar adaptations and relationships with the environment and climate -usually identified and names on the basis of its dominant vegetation5
2258888973Ecosystemused to describe all the organisms in an area and their interaction with the immediate environment -an association of plants and animals along with the surrounding nonliving environment and all the interactions in which the organisms take part6
2258894106Biogeochemical Cyclesweb of life comprises a great variety of organisms coexisting in a diversity of ecosystems, organisms survive sustained by flows of energy water and nutrients -flows are different in different parts of the world, in different seasons of year, and under various local circumstances -biogeochemical cycles: flow of energy, hydrologic cycle, carbon cycle, oxygen cycle, mineral cycles -if the biosphere is to function properly its chemical substances must be recycled continually through these cycles -for some components this conversion can be accomplished in less than a decade, for others it may require hundreds of millions of years7
2258901187Flow of energy-sun is the basic energy source on which all life depends -solar energy drives life processes in the biosphere through photosynthesis -open system because some energy from the sun is lost8
2258909111Photosynthesislight energy and carbon dioxide and water = carbs and oxygen -energy is stored as sugar (carbs). chlorophyll traps light energy to make food -chlorophyll is found within organelles in leaf cells called chloroplasts -chlorophyll absorbs certain wavelengths of visible light, while prominently reflecting green light -photochemical reaction takes CO2 from air and combines with water to form the energy rich carbohydrate compounds we know as sugars while also releasing molecular oxygen -in this process, energy from sunlight is stored as chemical energy in the sugars -sun gives chlorophyll energy and plant converts it to CO2 which enters through the stomata, oxygen is released into the air, water comes up through the roots -leaves absorb the sun energy9
2258911007Respirationcarbs and oxygen = carbon dioxide and water and energy (heat). takes place in mitochondria. animal takes in glucose and oxygen and creates energy -stored energy in carbohydrates in oxidized, releasing water, carbon dioxide and heat energy -oxygen is taken in from the air, organism takes in carbs (glucose), mitochondria breaks down the carbs and releases carbon dioxide into the air and water vapor as well as energy released into the cell10
2258921797Net Primary Productivity-varies widely from environment to environment around the world -land: highest within tropics where both high precipitation and high insolation are available for plant growth, diminishes poleward -ocean: strongly influenced by nutrient content of water, off west coasts of continents in midlatitudes, upwelling cold, nutrient-rich water -plant growth depensd on a surplus of carbohydrate production11
2258926288Net photosynthesisthe difference between the amount of carbohydrate produced in photosynthesis and that lost in plant respiration12
2258927788Annual net primary productivitydescribes the net photosynthesis of a plant community over a period of one year (units of grams of carbon per square meter per year) -biomass: measure of the amount of chemical energy stored in a plant community and is reflected in the dry weight of organic material13
2258947302Hydrologic Cycleevery living thing depends on water supply, water dissolves nutrients and carries them to all parts of the organism, two ways water is found in biosphere: in residence- chemically bound to plant and animal tissue, in transit- part of transpiration/respiration14
2258950770Carbon Cycle-one of basic elements of life/part of all living things -transfer of carbon from CO2 to living matter and back to CO2 -relatively rapid process -fossil fuels increase CO2 -complex of interlocking cycles in which carbon moves constantly from inorganic reservoir to living system and back again15
2258961948Oxygen Cycle-building block in most organic molecules -released into atmosphere through photosynthesis, taken up by living organisms in respiration, or react chemically with rocks -occurs in many chemical forms and is released into atmosphere in variety of ways16
2258965832Nitrogen Cycle/nitrogen fixation-for vast majority of living organisms, atmospheric nitrogen is usable only after it has been converted to nitrogen components (nitrates) than can be used by plants. this is called nitrogen fixation -it is nitrogen-fixing bacteria living in the soil and associated plant root nodules that provides most of the usable nitrogen for earth's biosphere17
2258971661Dentrification-other bacteria convert some of the nitrates to nitrogen gas, and the gas becomes part of the atmosphere -Synthetic manufacture of nitrogeneous fertilizers and widespread introduction of nitrogen-fixing crops (alfalfa, clover, soybeans) have significantly changed balance between fixation and dentrification. Short-term result has been an excessive accumulation of nitrogen compounds in many lakes and streams. This buildup of nitrogen depletes the oxygen supply of water and upsets the natural balance.18
2258976978Food Chain-direct passage from one organism to another of nutrients -more accurate to think of this energy transfer process as a web with interconnected parts or links -fundamental unit- producers (autotrophs), self feeders -producers eaten by consumers (heterotrophs) -decomposers begin the food pyramid again -energy is inefficiently consumed between different food pyramid levels -pollutants in the food chain (biological amplification, chemical pesticides and heavy metals, irrigation-related issues)19
2258979321Herbivoresprimary consumers20
2258979774CarnivoresSecondary consumers21
2259018541How many kilograms of plankton does it take to produce 25 kilograms of invertebrates?(25 kg invert) x (100 kg plankton/100 kg invert) = 250 kg plankton22
2259020227How many kg invert does it take to produce 5 kg of fish?(5 kg fish) x (100 kg invert/10 kg fish) = 50 kg invert23
2260868272Biological Factors and Natural Distributions-natural distribution of any species or group of organisms is determined by several primarily biological factors -four basic conditions are: evolutionary development, migration and dispersal, reproductive success (pollution die-off and extinction), and plant succession EMRA- Elena makes real plants24
2260888778Evolutionary Development-survival of the fittest -where did the genus (closely related organism group) evolve? -some localized -several scattered localities of the same genus -example: contrast in apparent origin of two important groups of plants -acacias: an extensive genus of shrubs and low-growing trees represented by numerous species found in low-latitude portions of every continent that extends into the tropics or subtropics. evolves prior to separation of continents and are now present throughout southern hemisphere -eucalyptus is a genus of trees native only to australia and a few islands. evolved after australian continent was isolated and only occurs naturally in australia25
2260904074Migration and dispersal-organisms have always moved from one place to another: animals possess active mechanisms for locomotion and plants move through seed dispersal (wind, water, and animals are principal natural mechanism) -distribution pattern of organisms results from natural migration or dispersal from the original developmental center -Example - Coconut Palms Originated in southeastern Asia and adjacent Melanesian islands. Now extraordinarily widespread along the coasts of tropical continents and islands all over the world Dispersion? Come about because the coconut (large, hard-shelled seeds of the plant) can float in the ocean for months or years without losing their fertility.26
2260917550Reproductive Success-key factor in continued survival of any biotic population -ability of organisms to reproduce affects distribution -factors resulting in poor reproductive success (heavy predation, food supply failure, changing environmental conditions, climate change) -range of a species can be diminished by the dying out of some or all of the population27
2260921860Extinction-species is extinct over the entire world, eliminated forever from landscape -example: american bison. once nearly exterminated, now occur in large numbers in areas of suitable habitat. under natural conditions they have a high level of reproductive success -range diminution -small areal changes -mass extinction28
2260932487Plant Succession-most localized examples of species change over time -one vegetation type replaced naturally by another -occur after catastrophic events -primary succession- pioneer community -secondary succession -extinction versus succession29
2285488261Physical Factors in Geographic Dispersaltemperature, availability of water, other climatic factors, distribution of soils, and landforms... TAODL30
2285503105Biotic factorscompetition for resources such as food and light, ammensalism in which growth of one species is inhibited by another, predation for any case in which individuals of one species feed on another species, mutualism in which individuals of two species interact to their mutual benefit31
2260938448Environmental Factors-survival of plants and animals depends on a set of environmental factors -specific influence varies from species to species 1) influence of climate 2) edaphic influences 3) Topographic influences 4) Wildfire IETW32
22609478901) Influence of climateLight (green plants need light to survive, light changes shapes of plants, photoperiodism- stimulates seasonal plant behavior) Moisture (distribution of biota governed more by moisture than any other factor besides light, biota evolution dictated by adaptation to moistue conditions) Temperature (different species can survive in different temperatures, plants have limited cold temperature tolerance. animals) Wind (effects generally limited, principle negative effect of wind is that it causes excessive drying by increasing evaporation from exposed surfaces. strong winds can be destructive to biota. positive- sometimes aid in dispersal of biota by carrying pollen, seeds, lightweight organisms, flying creatures)33
22609650112) Edaphic Influence-soil characteristics (known as edaphic factors) influence biota distribution -soil is a major component of the habitat of any vegetation, and its characteristics significantly affect rooting capabilities and nutrient supply -significant characteristics include: soil texture, soil structure, human content, chemical composition, abundant soil organisms34
22609855013) Topographic Influences-in global distribution of plants and animals, general topographic characteristics are the most important factor affecting distribution -plants and animals in a plains region vastly different from a mountainous region -slope and drainage35
22609890464) WildfiresMost environmental factors that effect the distribution of plants and animals are passive, and their influences are slow and gradual. Occasionally abrupt and catastrophic events play a significant role. Events such as floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, insect infestations, and drought Result in complete or partial devastation of plant life and death or driving away of animals Can be helpful for regrowth and maintaining of plant type36
2260992625Terrestrial Flora and Faunaturn our attention to investigating the geographic distribution of plants and animals37

2270899644ECOSYSTEMan association of plants and animals along with the surrounding nonliving environment and all the interactions in which the organisms take part39
2270902372biomemost appropriate scale for understanding world distribution patterns, biome is a collection of plants and animals over a large area that have broadly similar adaptations and relationships with the environment and climate -usually identified and named on basis of its dominant vegetation -Biome is defined as any large, recognizable assemblage of plants and animals in functional interaction with its environment.40
2261011392Characteristics of Plants-plants endure seasonal fluctuations or perish and leave behind (perennials come back every year/annuals) -whether or not a plant loses its leaves (evergreen doesn't lose its leaves/deciduous) -leaf shape (broadleaf/needleleaf)41

2261016216Broadleafleaves that are flat and expansive in shape44
2261017267Needleleafadorned with thin silvers of tough, leathery, waxy needles45
2261018319Environmental Adaptations-tolerance limits govern plant survival, distribution, and dispersal -plants have evolved a variety of protective mechanisms to shield against harsh environmental conditions and to enlarge their tolerance limits -xerophytic adaptations/hygrophytic adaptations46
2261022418Xerophytic adaptationsStructurally adapted to withstand protracted dry conditions Roots modified in shape or size to enable them to seek widely for moisture (taproots, thin hairlike rootlets) Fleshy, spongy structure to store moisture (succulents) Leaf modification (hard and waxy to inhibit water loss, white and shiny to reflect insolation, tiny leaves or no leaves at all)47
2261028046Hygrophytics adaptationsParticularly suited to wet environment Extensive root systems to anchor in soft ground Widened, flaring trunk near ground to provide better support48
2261029273Vertical Zonation-mountainous areas often have a distinct pattern of vertical zonation in vegetation patterns -largely due to the effects of elevation on temperature and precipitation -elevation latitude relationship (elevation latitude graph for the southern hemisphere is different from the northern hemisphere, reason for this discrepancy is not completely understood)49

2581096247What are postprocedure nursing actions for a CT scan?1. No follow up care is necessary 2. if contrast media was used, monitor site to assure that clotting has occured. 3. if client was sedated, monitor until stable17
2581101566What is an EEG?An EEG is a non invasive procedure that assesses the electrical activity of the brain and is used to determine if there are abnormalities in brain wave patterns.18
2581106593When is an EEG indicated?to identify and determine seizure activity to detect sleep disorders and behavioral changes19
2581138130How are findings interpreted in the EEG?Location of abnormal wave patterns may indicate site of brain that is stimulating seizure activity.20
2581143164What are nursing actions preprocedure for an EEG?1. review medications with the provider to determine if they should be discontinued prior to the test 2. instruct client to withhold caffeine the day of the test 3. instruct client to wash hair before the test and not use oil or sprays on the hair 4. instruct client to wash hair after the test to remove electrode glue 5. if prescribed, instruct the client to induce sleep deprivation the night before the procedure by awakening at 2 am-3 am and stay awake for the rest of the night 6. instruct the client to withhold medications that are CNS stimulants or CNS depressants and antiepileptic medications, if instructed by provider. 7. inform client that they may be asked to take deep breaths and/ or will be exposed to flashes of light during the procedure. 8. Reassure client that test is not painful21
2581196755What are intraprocedure for an EEG?The test takes about 1 hour and there is no risks associated with it Small electrodes are placed on scalp and connected to a brain wave machine or computer while client rest in a chair or lying in bed. Sedation may be given by IV to induce sleep electrical signals produced by the brain are recorded by the machine or computer in the form of wavy lines which documents brain activity notations are made when stimuli are presented or when sleep occurs. (flashes of light or pictures may be used to assess client's response to stimuli)22
2581221326What are postprocedure nursing actions for an EEG?Instruct client that normal activities can be resumed.23
2581225608What is GCS (Glasgow Coma Scale)?assessment that focuses on neurologic function to determine level of consciousness and monitor response to treatment.24
2581274469How is the GCS reported?As a number, which allows providers to immediately determine if neurologic changes have occurred.25
2581281590When is GCS indicated?to determine changes in the level of consciousness for clients with head injuries, space occupying lesions, cerebral infarctions, and encephalitis.26
2581290265How are findings in the GCS interpreted?The GCS score correlate with the degree or level of coma The best score is 15 = no injury < 8 is severe head injury or coma 9 to 12 is moderate head injury > 13 is minor trauma27
2581306148Explain the GCS procedure?GCS is calculated by using appropriate stimuli (a painful one may be necessary) and client's response in 3 areas is assessed: eye opening, verbal response, motor response Eye opening: Total score 4 to 1 4= spontaneous eye opening 3= eye open when client hears a voice 2= eyes open when client is subject to pain 1= eyes do not open Verbal response: Total score 5 to 1 5= conversation is coherent 4= conversation is incoherent and disoriented 3= words are spoken but inappropriately 2= sounds are made, but no words 1= vocalization does not occur Motor response: Total score 6 to 1 6= follows command 5= local reaction to pain 4= general withdrawal to pain 3= decorticate posture (adduction of arms, flexion of elbows and wrists present) 2=decerebrate posture (abduction of arms, extensionof elbows and wrists present)28
2581376780How can a GCS be reported sometimes?In critical situations, where head injury is present and close monitoring is required, subscale results may also be documented. A GCS may be reported as a single number, indicating the sum of the subscales (3 to 15), or as 3 numbers, one from each subscale result, and the total (E3 V3 M4=GCS 13. This allows provider to determine specific neurologic function.29
2581392231What is a lumbar puncture (Spinal tap)?A lumbar puncture is a procedure in which a small amount of cerebrospinal fluid is withdrawn from the spinal canal and then analyzed to determine its constituents.30
2581398428When is a lumbar puncture indicated?to detect presence of certain diseases like in multiple sclerosis, syphillis, infection and malignancies to administer medication or chemotherapy directly to spinal fluid31
2581405913How are lumbar puncture findings interpreted?Presence of red or white blood cells in CSF indicates an intracranial bleed or other vascular pathological process in the brain. Elevated CSF readings can also indicate increased intracranial pressure32
2581414667What are preprocedure for a lumbar puncture?Risks should be outweigh with patient before procedure -lumbar puncture has severe complications specially if done with presence of increased intracranial pressure (brain herniation) - lumbar punctures for clients with bleeding disorders or those taking anticoagulants may result in bleeding that compresses the spinal cord33
2581428887What are nursing actions for the lumbar puncture procedure?make sure the client is not wearing jewelry only hospital gown tell patient to void prior to the procedure position client to stretch the spinal canal (like a cannonball while on one side) or over an overbed table if sitting is preferred.34
2581591127What are intraprocedures for the lumbar puncture?area of the needle insertion is cleansed and a local anesthesia is injected. not a painful procedure; should be little need for pain or relaxing med other than the local anesthesia needle is inserted and the CSF is withdrawn, after which needle is withdrawn a manometer may be used to determine the opening pressure of the spinal cord,which is useful if increased pressure is a consideration35
2581618413What are postprocedure for the lumbar puncture?CSF is sent to pathology Monitor puncture site Have client lie for several hours to ensure that the site clots Once stable, advice client to resume activities36
2581626229What are some complications of CSF leakage?If clotting does not occur, CSF may leak, resulting in a headache and increasing the potential for infection37
2581631979What is an MRI Scan?An MRI scan provides cross-sectional images of the cranial cavity. A contrast media may be used to enhance images. MRI images are obtained using magnets compared to CT scans, thus radiation is avoided making it safer from pregnant women.38
2581654334What clients should avoid MRI?clients with pacemakers clients with surgical clips clients with IV access ports (shielding may be done to prevent injury)39
2581675540What is equipment must be used to monitor patient while having an MRI?MRI approved equipment to monitor vital signs provide ventilation/oxygen assistance40
2581682248When is MRI indicated?used to detect abnormalities monitor response to treatment guide needles used for biopsies41
2581690166What are MRIs capable of?discriminating soft tissue from tumor or bone (so more effective to determine tumor size and blood vessel location)42
2581698017How are findings of the MRI interpreted?detailed 3 dimensional pictures provide location and size of cranial pathology, such as tumors, arteriovenous malformations, other vascular disorders.43
2581713396What are nursing actions preprocedure for an MRI?Ensure that client is not wearing jewelry If client is to be sedated, NPO 4-8hr prior to procedure determine if client is claustrophobic and explain the tight space and noise providers and family members who are in proximity while patient is being scanned should remove jewelry, pagers, phones to prevent damage to themselves or the magnet place a pillow in the small of the client back to prevent back pain because patient will be supine during the test secure client head to prevent unnecessary movement.44
2581731545What are intraprocedure for the MRIClient must stay supine with the head stabilized The scan is noisy and earplugs or sedation may be provided45
2581739156What are postprocedure nursing actions for the MRI?No follow up care is required if contrast media was injected, monitor the site to assure that it had clotted if client was sedated, monitor until stable`46
2581746861What is a PET and SPECT Scans?They are nuclear medicine procedures that produce 3 dimensional images of the head. These images can be static (depicting vessels) or functional (depicting brain activity)47
2581755678What is done during a PET and SPECT scan?A glucose based tracer is injected into the blood stream which initiates regional metabolic activity and thus documented by the PET/SPECT scanner48
2581762035What may be done after a PET/SPECT scan?a CT scan because it may provide information regarding brain activity and pathological location49
2581766849When is a PET/SPECT scan indicated?to capture regional metabolic activity and is most useful in determining tumor activity and /or response to treatment. to determine the presence of dementia, indicated by the inability of the brain to respond to the tracer.50
2581779159How are finding of the PET/SPECT interpreted?PET/SPECT scans are able to determine the areas of the brain that are and aren't functioning. This tool can help provide diagnostic evidence of dementia.51
2581789464What are preprocedure for the PET/SPECT scan?PET/SPECT scans use radiation, thus the risk/benefit consequences for a pregnant mus be discussed. check for a history of diabetes mellitus because if client is diabetic, his medications may need to be altered to prevent hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia before and after the procedure.52
2581804452What are intraprocedure for the PET/SPECT scan?While the pictures are being obtained, client must remain flat with the head restrained. Procedure is not painful and sedation is rarely used.53
2581811633What are nursing actions for the PET/SPECT scan procedure?No follow up care after a PET/SPECT tracer glucose is short acting (< 2hr), broken down in the body, it is not excreted.54
2581817175What is an X-Ray?An x-ray uses electromagnetic radiation to capture images of the internal structures of an individual55
2581822743How are the structure images on x-rays?A structure's image is light or dark relative to the amount of radiation the tissue absorbs. The image is recorded on a radiograph, which is black and white image that is held to a light for visualization. Some are digital and immediately available. Interpretations are made by a radiologist.56
2581833815When are x rays indicated?to diagnose possible skull or spinal fractures to determine cause of paralysis or paresthesia and increasing neurological deficits.57
2581838857How are findings of x rays interpreted?x rays of the skull, spine, can reveal fractures, curvatures, bone erosion, dislocation, possible soft tissue calcification all of which can damage the nervous system.58
2581849640What are nursing actions for the preprocedure of x-rays?no special x-ray preprocedure protocol if contrast is not used. x rays are first diagnostic tool used after an injury to rule out cervical spine fracture in head trauma. They are done without any special preparation. However, pregnancy must be determined, jewelry must be removed, clothing should not cover the area to be x-rayed. explain to patient that the amount of radiation used in contemporary x ray machines is relatively very small.59
2581860374How are intraprocedure of x-ray done?instruct client to remain still during the procedure60
2581874510What are nursing actions for the post procedure of x-rays?no postprocedure care is required, just tell client when result will be available61
2581885975A nurse is caring for a client scheduled for a cerebral angiogram with contrast dye. Which of the following client responses should the nurse communicate to the provider? (select all that apply)1. I may be pregnant. 2. I take coumadin 3. I am on an antihypertensive 4. I am allergic to shellfish 5. I am allergic to latex Answer: 1,2,4 Rationale:the provider should be notified of clients who are or could be pregnant due to the risks to the fetus secondary to exposure of radiation. Allergies to shellfish or iodine are also contraindications to contrast dye. A client taking warfarin (Coumadin) should also be reported to the provider due to the potential for bleeding postprocedure. There are no contraindications to contrast dye in clients who are on antihypertensives or are allergic to latex.62
2581945966A nurse is providing education to a client who is to undergo and electroencephalogram (EEG) the next day. Which of the following should the nurse include?1. Do not wash hair the morning of the procedure 2. You will be given an analgesic prior to the test 3. The procedure will take approximately 15 min 4. You will need to lie flat for 4 hr after the procedure Answer: 2 Rationlale: This test is non invasive and does not cause any pain. There is no indication for pain medication prior to the test. The client may be given sedation for IV infusion to induce sleep. The client should be instructed to wash hair prior to the procedure. An EEG usually takes approximately 1 hour and there are no activity restrictions post procedure.63
2581989268A nurse is collecting data from a client who was admitted to the medical surgical unit 12 hours ago after falling off a ladder and hitting his head. The client is drowsy, but responds to verbal commands, and opens his eyes when the nurse calls his name. He is oriented to time, place, and person. The nurse should document that the client's GCS score is which of the following?1. 15 2. 14 3. 13 4. 12 Answer: 14 Rationale: The client's GCS score is 14. Eye opening response is 3 (secondary to voice); verbal response is 5 (coherent and oriented to conversation); motor response is 6 (follow commands) 3+5+6=1464

169082355Relative pricesthe number of units of any other good Y that must be sacrificed to acquire the first good X. Only relative prices matter21
169082356Substitution Effectthe change in quantity demanded resulting from a change in the price of one good relative to the price of other goods.22
169082357Income effectthe change in quantity demanded that results from a change in the consumer's purchasing power (or real income)23
169082358Demand schedulea table showing quantity demanded for a good at various prices24
169082359Demand curvea graphical depiction of a demand schedule. The demand curve is downward sloping, reflecting the Law of Demand25
169082360Determinants of demandconsumer income, price of substitute good, price of complementary good, tastes and preferences, expectations, number of buyers26
169082361Normal goodsa good for which higher income increases demand27
169082362Inferior goodsa good for which higher income decreases demand28
169082363Substitute goodstwo goods are these if they provide essentially the same utility to the consumer29
169082364Complementary goodstwo goods are these if they provide more utility when consumed together than when consumed separately30
169082365Law of supplyholding all else equal, when the price of a good rises, suppliers increase their quantity supplied for that good31
169082366Supply schedulea table showing quantity supplied for a good at various prices32
169082367Supply curvea graphical depiction of the supply schedule. The supply curve is upward sloping to reflect to Law of Supply33
169082368Determinants of Supplycost of input, taxes and subsidies, technology, price of production of other goods, expectations, number of firms34
169082369Market equilibriumexists at the only price where the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded. Or it is the only quantity where the price consumers are willing to pay is exactly the price producers are willing to accept.35
169082370Shortagealso known as excess demand, this exists at a market price when the quantity demanded exceeds the quantity supplied. The price rises to eliminate this36
169082371Disequilibriumany price where quantity demanded is not equal to quantity supplied37
169082372Surplusalso known as excess supply, this exists at a market price when the quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded. The price falls to eliminate this38
169114123Total welfarethe sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus. The free market equilibrium provides maximum combined gain to society39
169114124Consumer surplusthe difference between you willingness to pay and the price you actually pay. It is the area below the demand curve and above the price40
169114125Producer surplusthe difference between the price received and the marginal cost of producing the good. It is the area above the supply curve and under the price41
169156400Elasticitymeasures the sensitivity or responsiveness of a choice to a change in an external factor42
169156401Price elasticity of demandmeasures the sensitivity of consumer quantity demanded for good X when the price of good X changes43
169191439Price elasticity formulaEd=(%∆Qd)(%∆P) Ignore negative sign44
169191441Price elastic demandEd>1 or the (%∆Qd)>(%∆P) consumers are price sensitive45
169191443Price inelastic demandEd<1 or the (%∆Qd)<(%∆P) consumers are not price sensitive46
169191445Unit elastic demandEd=1 meaning the (%∆Qd)=(%∆P)47
169191447Perfectly inelasticEd=0 in this special case, the demand curve is vertical and there is absolutely no response to price change48
169191449Perfectly elasticEd=∞ in this special case, the demand for curve is horizontal meaning consumers have and instantaneous and infinite response to price change49
169191451Slope and elasticitythe more vertical a good's demand curve, the more inelastic the demand for that good. The more horizontal the demand curve, the more elastic.50
169191453Determinants of elasticityif a good has more readily available substitutes it is likely that consumers are more price elastic for that good. If a high proportion of a consumer's income is devoted to a particular good, consumers are generally more price elastic for that good. When consumers have more time to adjust to a price change, their response is usually more elastic51
169191455Total revenueTR=P*Qd52
169191458Total revenue testtotal revenue rises with a price increase if demand is price inelastic and falls with a price increase if demand is elastic53
169191460Elasticity and demand curvesat the midpoint of a linear demand curve, Ed=1. Above the midpoint demand is elastic and below the midpoint it is inelastic54
169191462Income elasticitya measure of how sensitive consumption of good X is to a chance in the consumer's income55
169191464Income elasticity formulaEi=(%∆Qd good X)(%∆ Income)56
169191466Luxurya good for which the income elasticity is greater than 157
169191468Necessitya good for which the income elasticity is above zero, but less than one58
169191470Values of income elasticityIf Ei >0, the good is normal and a luxury. If 1>Ei>0 the good is normal and income inelastic (necessity). If Ei<0 the good is inferior59
169191472Cross-price elasticity of demanda measure of how sensitive consumption of good X is to a change in the price of good Y60
169191474Cross-price elasticity formulaExy=(%∆Qd)(%∆ price Y)61
169191476Values of cross-price elasticity of demandif Exy>0, goods X and Y are substitutes. If Exy<0 goods X and Y are complementary goods62
169191478Price elasticity of supplymeasures the sensitivity of quantity supplied for good X when the price of good X changes63
169191480Price elasticity of supply formulaEs=(%∆Qs)(%∆P)64
169191482Excise taxa per unit tax on production results in a vertical shift in the supply curve by the amount of the tax65
169191484Incidence of taxthe proportion of the tax paid by consumers in the form of a highest price for the taxed good is greater if demand for the good is inelastic and supply is elastic66
169191486Dead weight lossthe lost net benefit to society caused by a movement awat from the competitive market equilibrium. Policies like excise taxes create lost welfare to society67
169191488Subsidyhas the opposite effect of an excise tax, as it lowers the marginal cost of production, resulting in a downward vertical shift in the supply curve for good X.68
169191489Price floora legal minimum price below which the product cannot be sold. If a floor is installed at some level above equilibrium price, it creates a permanent surplus69
169191490Price ceilinga legal maximum price above which the product cannot be sold. If a ceiling is installed at a level below the equilibrium price,, it creates a permanent shortage70
169191491Utilityhappiness, benefit, satisfaction, or enjoyment gained from consumption71
169191492Total utilitytotal happiness received from consumption of a number of units of a good72
169191493Marginal utilitythe incremental happiness received, or lost, when the consumer increases consumption of a good by one unit73
169191494Utilsa unit of measurement often used to quantify utility a.k.a "happy points"74
169191495Law of diminishing marginal utilityin a given time period, the marginal utility from consumption of more and more of that item falls75
169191496Constrained utility maximizationfor a one-good case. Constrained by prices and income, a consumer stops consuming a good when the price paid for the next unit is equal to the marginal benefit received76
169191497Utility maximizing rulthe consumer maximizes utility when they choose amounts of goods X and Y, with their limited income, so that the marginal utility per dollar spend is equal for both goods. MUx/Px=MUy/Py77
169191498Horizontal summationthe process of adding, at each price, the individual quantities demanded to find the market demand curve for a good78

Terms : Hide Images
787733921Mood disorders are characterized by changes in...Mood that range from extreme elation and agitation to extreme depression, serious potential for suicide0
787733922Euthymia"Normal" mood1
787733923DepressionAn overwhelming state of sadness, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt, disturbed sleep patterns and appetite, low energy and an inability to concentrate2
787733924ManiaPrimarily characterized by an abnormal and persistently elevated, expansive or irritable mood3
787733925Depressive disorders- Characterized by a loss of interest in life (anhedonia) - Types: Major Depressive Disorder, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Dysthymic Disorder, Schizoaffective Disorder, Premenstral Dysthymic Disorder, Depressive Disorder with Post Partum Onset4
787733926Major Depressive Disorder- Characterized by changes in several aspects of an individual's life, depressed mood or loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities - At least 2 weeks, no history of manic behavior, and symptoms that cannot be attributed to use of substances or a general medical condition - Can include psychotic features (hallucinations, delusions)5
787733927Seasonal Affective Disorder- Depressive disorder that occurs in relation to the season (generally winter) - Characterized by hypersomnia, fatigue, weight gain, irritability and interpersonal difficulties - Seasonal differences in the amount of daylight is thought to disrupt melatonin production, circadian rhythms and/or ability to process dopamine and norepinephrine - Melatonin influences sleep-wake cycle and circadian rhythms (sedative effects)6
787733928Dysthymic Disorder- Characterized by a chronic depression syndrome that is usually present for many years (to Dx for at least 2 years) - Clinical manifestations are less severe than those of a major depressive disorder, few physiologic symptoms - Mood disturbance is hard to distinguish from the individual's usual pattern of functioning, minimal or occupational impairment7
787733929Schizoaffective DisorderPsychotic disorder whereby the clinical manifestations of the psychotic disorder, schizophrenia, co-exist with those of a mood disorder (depression, mania, or mixed)8
787733930Premenstrual Dysthymic Disorder- Markedly depressed mood, excessive anxiety, mood swings, and decreased interest in activities during the week prior to menses and subsiding shortly after the onset of menstruation - Symptoms begin toward last week of luteal phase (day 7-day 10) and are absent in the week following menses (hormones are increased)9
787733931Depressive Disorder with Post Partum Onset- Onset within 4 weeks of delivery - Important to distinguish this from the "baby blues" - Pervasive, can turn into post-partum psychosis, if not treated - Gets worse after first child10
787733932Etiology of depression (Biologic theories):- Genetic factors - Biochemical factors (Deficiency/dysregulation in norepinephrine, serotonin, dopamine) - Neuroendocrine factors (Increased levels of cortisol secretion)11
787733933Etiology of depression (Psychosocial factors):- Psychoanalytic theory (Freud): Depression is related to loss (actual/symbolic) - Cognitive theory (Beck): Model of depression points to errors of logical thinking as causative factors for depression (Negative expectations: environment, self, future), automatic thoughts are rapid, unthinking responses based on unique assumptions about ourselves and the world - Learned helplessness (Seligman): Stressful events that are experienced as uncontrollable result in the development of helplessness, apathy, powerlessness, and depression12
787751085Etiology of depression (Psychodynamic influences and life events)- Psychosocial theory that explains depression from an environmental and life events perspective (stress), which is combined with a biological 'vulnerability' - Trauma may result in long-term hyperactivity of the CNS corticotrophin-releasing factor and norepinephrine systems with a consequent neurotoxic effect13
787751086Nursing assessment (depression)Clinical manifestations of depression can be described as alterations in four spheres of human functioning (Affect, behavior, cognitive, physiologic)14
787751087Affect (nursing assessment of depression)- Behavioral expression of emotion; feelings of being sad, anxious, helpless, hopeless - Facial expressions convey sadness, show little or no emotion, speaks in monotone, may only respond with a yes or no - Frequent sighing is common - Often no eye contact, bout of weeping or patients cannot cry - Patient looks older than stated age - See the world via gray-colored glasses15
787751088Behavior (nursing assessment of depression)- Manner in which an individual acts, tearful, regression, restless, agitation, withdrawal, psychomotor retardation, decreased interest in hygiene/grooming - Patient may speak slowly (their mind is 'slowed') - In extreme depression, the patient may be mute16
787793033Cognitive (nursing assessment of depression)- Thinking skills, including logic, awareness, memory, intellect, language, reasoning/judgment - Preoccupation with loss, obsessive/repetitive thoughts, difficulty concentrating, delusions, misinterpreting reality - When depressed, a patient is unable to think clearly, has poor judgment, unable to make decisions, memory and concentration is poor, may have delusional thinking17
787793034Physiological (nursing assessment of depression)- Concerning body functions: anorexia/overeating, insomnia/hypersomnia, somatic complaints, fatigue, anergia - Somatic concerns: headaches, pain, vague body aches, changes in physiologic functioning are called "vegetative signs of depression" (alterations in activities which support physical life and growth - Individuals with depressive disorders may express any of the following: anergia, anhedonia, anxiety/guilt, feeling worthless, feeling helpless, feeling hopeless18
787793035Suicide Assessment- All individuals who describe depressive symptoms are at risk for suicide - Assess via direct questioning - Ask about suicidal ideation, history of suicide attempts and /or of a specific plan - If the individual has a plan, do they have the means to 'carry out' the plan - It's important to differentiate between a 'vaguely formed thought' and a plan - The more organized the plan, the more concern for self -injury - For patients with suicidal ideation, sometimes they don't really think ahead and may not want to really hurt /kill self - they just want the pain to stop - Assess for any medical illness/substance use/abuse19
787793036Therapeutic modalities for depression (Psychotherapy)- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (Ellis): decreases depressive thought patterns, helps the individual address negative cognitive processing, negative thoughts about: oneself, world, future - Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy: increases positive reinforcement from others and environment via effective social and coping skills - Interpersonal Theory (Sullivan): reduce depressive s/sx, emphasis on relationships and social functioning20
790957290Therapeutic modalities for depression (Phototherapy)- Light therapy is effective because of the influence of light on melatonin - Exposure to light suppresses the nocturnal secretion of melatonin, which has a therapeutic effect on individuals with SAD21
790957291Therapeutic modalities for depression (Exercise)- Exercise can have a profound effect on stress reduction - Can manage the transient syndrome of mild depression22
790957292Therapeutic modalities for depression (ECT)- Electroconvulsive Therapy - Treatment for depression in which a grand mal seizure is induced by passing an electrical current via electrodes that are applied to the temples - A muscle relaxant minimizes seizure activity and prevents damage to long bones and cervical vertebrae - Indications: There is a need for a rapid, definitive response when a patient is suicidal or homicidal, patient is in extreme agitation or stupor, patient develops a life-threatening illness because of refusal of food/fluids, history of poor response to medication - Considered for tx only after a trial of therapy with antidepressant medication has been ineffective and thought to be effective because it increases the circulating levels of serotonin, norepinephine and dopamine23
790957293ECT pre-procedure- Informed consent - NPO after midnight (or 4 hours before treatment) - Prep as for the OR, no dentures, jewelry, contacts, etc - IM Atropine or Robinul to dry secretions and protect against vagal bradycardia24
790957294ECT procedure- Electrodes are attached to the temples - BP, cardiac and EEG monitor in place - Mouth guard - 100% oxygen - Use of short-acting anesthetic and muscle relaxant (IV)25
790957295ECT post-procedure- Individual responds slowly after treatment; may not remember the event - In PACU for 1 to 3 hours - Reorient, some short-term memory may be affected, but will return - Monitor virtual signs/secretions26
790957296Nursing interventions for depressed patients- Convey caring, empathy, potential for change - Spend time with patient, even in silence is not a 'waste of time' - Instilling hope is a key tool for recovery - Utilize counseling and communication strategies - Assess need for self-care; offer support when appropriate - Monitor & intervene to maintain adequate nutrition, hydration and elimination - Provide adequate balance of rest, sleep and activity - Involve individual's support system - Teach about medications and therapies - Continuously assess for the possibility of suicidal thoughts and ideation throughout course of recovery **Remember: High risk for suicide when antidepressants begin to take effect; individual now has the physical and emotional energy to carry out a plan27
7909572975 categories of antidepressant medications1.) TCA's (tricyclics) 2.) SSRI's (selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors) 3.) SNRI's (selective norepinephrine re-uptake inhibitors) 4.) Atypical 5.) MAOI's (monoamine oxidase inhibitors)28
790957298TCA's action and examples- Tricyclic antidepressants 1.) Block the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin to a lesser degree (Therefore, there is increased levels of norepinpehine and serotonin in the synapse) - Elevates mood, increases mood, activity, and alertness, decrease preoccupation and morbidity, improve appetite, regulate sleep patterrns 2.) Block the muscarinic receptors that bind to acetylcholine (Leads to typical anticholinergic effects: blurred vision, dry mouth, tachycardia, constipation) 3.) Block histamine-1 receptors in brain (Leads to drowsiness, sedation, weight gain) - Strong binding at adrenergic receptors results in dizziness, hypotension and tachycardia - Ex: amitriptyline (Elavil), imipramine (Tofranil), nortriptyline (Pamelor)29
790957299TCA's side/adverse effects- Anticholinergic action - Blockage of Histamine 1 receptors - Alpha-adrenergic action - Cardiovascular (dysrhythmias, tachycardia, and MI)30
790957300TCA's patient teaching- May take 1 to 3 weeks; 4 to 6 weeks for full effect - Drowsiness, dizziness and hypotension generally subside after the first few weeks - Caution about working around machines, driving, crossing street, related to altered reflexes, drowsiness /dizziness - No alcohol - it can block the effect of the medication - Dispense at bedtime to reduce experience of side effects during the day - Do not stop taking med abruptly31
790978413SSRI's action and examples- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors 1.)

800623196MAOIs action and examples- Monoamine oxidase inhibitors - Prevent destruction of monamines by inhibiting action of MAO (monoamine oxidase) - MAO can no longer break down tyramine with MAOIs, so tyramine blood levels increase - High tyramine levels can lead to high blood pressure, a hypertensive crisis, then CVA and death - Ex: phenelzine (Nardil), tranylcypromise (Parnate), selegiline transdermal (Emsam)38
800623197Foods high in tyramineFermented, smoked, aged foods, foods with yeast, beer, wine, chocolate, Ginseng, medications (cough meds)39
