Appendicitis review of the causes, symptoms, complications (perforation, abscess, peritonitis), pathophysiology, and nursing care for the NCLEX exam. Appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix. Where is the appendix? It is found on the right lower side of the abdomen and connects to the cecum of the large intestine (it looks like a protruding worm or finger-like structure coming out of the large intestine (specifically the ascending colon). The role of the appendix is to store the good bacteria in your GI tract while the tract is recovering from a diarrhea illness (so it helps maintain healthy GI flora). Appendicitis can be caused from an obstruction (fecalith...hard piece of feces, parasites...worms, enlarged lymph nodes) or trauma/injury. When appendicitis occurs, the lumen of the appendix becomes blocked and this increases pressure in the appendix. As the pressure increases, venous obstruction occurs which can cause the formation of a blood clot. Clot formation leads to ischemia to the appendix which leads to perforation (rupture of the appendix) and eventually peritonitis. Signs and symptoms of appendicitis include: abdominal pain that starts in or around umbilicus and radiates to the right lower quadrant, pain will be most intense at McBurney's Point, abdominal rebound tenderness/rigidity, nausea, vomiting, fever, and relief of pain when placed in the fetal position. Treatment for appendicitis is an appendectomy. • Quiz: https://www.registerednursern.com/app... • Lecture Notes: https://www.registerednursern.com/app... • GI NCLEX Review Lectures: • Gastrointestinal NCLEX Nursing • Subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c... • Nursing School Supplies: http://www.registerednursern.com/the-... • Nursing Job Search: http://www.registerednursern.com/nurs... • Visit our website RegisteredNurseRN.com for free quizzes, nursing care plans, salary information, job search, and much more: http://www.registerednursern.com • Check out other Videos: / registerednursern • All of our videos in a playlist: • Insulin Onset Peak Duration Mnemonic ... • Popular Playlists: • NCLEX Reviews: • NCLEX Study Strategies • Fluid Electrolytes: • Fluid and Electrolytes Nursing • Nursing Skills: • Nursing Skills Videos • Nursing School Study Tips: • Nursing School Study Tips • Nursing School Tips Questions • Nursing School Tips Questions • Teaching Tutorials: • Teaching Tutorials • Types of Nursing Specialties: • Types of Nursing Specialties • Healthcare Salary Information: • Healthcare Salary Information • New Nurse Tips: • New Nurse Tips • Nursing Career Help: • Nursing Career Help • EKG Teaching Tutorials: • EKG/ECG Interpretation • Personality Types: • Playlist • Dosage Calculations for Nurses: • Dosage Calculations Nursing • Diabetes Health Managment: • Diabetes Health Managment
