| Describe characteristics of pulse | Rate- how many beats per minute, Rhythm- regular/irregular, Volume- strength... Strong=3+, Moderate=2+, weak "thready"= 1+ |
| State normal range of heart rate and factors which influence. | 60-100bpm. stress, exercise, gender, obesity, age |
| Heart Rate | Number of heart contractions per minute |
| Pulse | force of blood against the vessel wall during systole |
| Pulse Deficit | Numerical difference between apical pulse and the radial pulse |
| Describe procedure to take pulse | taken at the thumb side of the wrist. count beats for 30 seconds and multiply by 2. If pulse is irregular take for a full minute. |
| Respiration; state factors which influence | exchange of gases (O2 and CO2). 1 inhalation and 1 exhalation= 1 respiration. Exercise, stress, age, size. |
| Describe respiratory physiology; role of phrenic nerve and diaphragm and O2 and CO2 levels. | ------>I didn't understand what she was talking about in class, so hopefully someone has this answer in their notes---- |
| Name control center of pulse and respiration | Medulla |
| Describe all abnormal respiratory terms. | . |
| Describe pulse oximetry - normal range. | percent of O2 saturation of arterial blood. 95-100% |
