| 5 routes that are commonly used to measure body temperature: | * oral * axillary * tympanic * temporal * rectal |
| the most common method of determining the body temperature of an adult or a cooperative child | oral |
| temperatures obtained by placing a thermometer under a patient's tongue | oral |
| temperatures obtained by placing the thermometer high between the upper arm and the torso | axillary temperature |
| pulse obtained by listening to the chest with a stethoscope and counting each heartbeat | apical pulse |
| plays an important role in regulating heat loss and can initiate peripheral vasodilation and sweating to dissipate body heat | hypothalamus |
| Oral temperatures in healthy adults and children are within the narrow range of ______ to ______ degrees F | 97.7 to 99.5 F or 36.5 to 37.5 C |
| Axillary temperatures register slightly ________ than oral readings | lower |
| Rectal and Temporal temperatures register approximately 1 degree F ________ than oral readings | higher |
| When the oral temperature is higher than _______ , a fever exists | 99.5 degrees F |
| When the patient's temperature falls below the normal range, ________ is said to be present | hypothermia |
| Respiratory rate are measured as the number of breaths per minute; normal range at rest is ____ to ____ breaths per minute | 12 to 20 |
| Children under the age of 10 years have slightly ________ respiratory rates | increased |
| the average respiratory rate for children under the age of 10 years is: | 20 to 30 breaths per minute |
| the average respiratory rate for newborns is: | 30 to 60 breaths per minute |
| the term used to describe respiratory rate greater than 20 breaths per minute in the case of an adult patient | tachypnea |
| True or False: Under normal conditions, the pulse can be palpated at superficially located arteries. | True |
| 3 common sites used for measuring pulse rate are: | * Radial artery * Brachial artery * Carotid artery |
| List 7 places on the body where pulse can be assessed: | * Carotid artery * Brachial artery * Radial artery * Femoral artery * Popliteal * Posterior tibial * Pedal |
| Resting pulse rate in the normal adult very from: | 60 to 100 beats per min. |
| A normal pulse range for children under the age of 10 yrs is between: | 70 to 120 beats per min. |
| What continually monitors the patient's heart rate and rhythm? | electrocardiogram |
| a catheter that is inserted into an artery and is connected to a pressure transducer that is attached to a monitor | arterial line |
| a noninvasive device used to provide ongoing assessment of the hemoglobin oxygen saturation of arterial blood and the patient's pulse rate | pulse oximeter |
| What are normal pulse oximeter values for a healthy person? | between 95% and 100% |
| Blood pressure is a measure of the ________ exerted by blood on the arterial walls during contraction and relaxation of the heart | force |
| the constant pressure that is exerted on the arterial vessels by the blood when the heart is relaxed | diastolic pressure |
| The peak pressure present during contraction of the heart is known as the: | systolic pressure |
| Normal blood pressure in the healthy adult includes a systolic pressure of less than ______ mm/Hg and a diastolic pressure of less than ______ mm/Hg | 120 systolic and 80 diastolic |
| Persistent elevation of blood pressure above 140/90 mm Hg is known as: | hypertension |
| Hypertension is persistent elevation of blood pressure above: | 140/90 mm Hg |
| Hypotension is defined as low blood pressure and may be identified by a blood pressure of less than: | 95/60 mm Hg |
| a method of delivering oxygen that is well tolerated by the patient because talking, eating, and sleeping are not hindered | nasal cannula |
| List 5 different kinds of masks used for oxygen therapy: | * Simple * Aerosol * Air-entrainment * Nonrebreathing * Partial rebreathing |
| provide an effective way to deliver accurate, as well as high concentrations of oxygen | masks |
| This type of low flow oxygen mask covers the patient's nose and mouth. It requires oxygen flow rates greater than 6 LPM to prevent an accumulation of carbon dioxide, and delivers 35% to 60% oxygen. | simple oxygen mask |
| This type of mask can deliver a higher percentage of oxygen, prevent exhaled air from being rebreathed and ensure that only oxygen from the device is inhaled. | Nonrebreathing mask |
| This type of mask is similar to a nonrebreathing mask, but it does not contain the valve. | Partial rebreathing mask |
| What percentage of oxygen should a nonrebreathing mask provide? | 100% |
| This type of mask is commonly used when both high oxygen concentrations and humidity are needed. | Aerosol mask |

| In the case of ________, thoracostomy placement is required at a higher insertion site in the apical region to drain out air. | Pneumothorax |
| What does CV stand for? | Central Venous |
| These are catheters that are inserted into a large vein to administer chemotherapeutic drugs, parenteral nutrition, manage fluid volume, serve as a conduit for blood analysis and transfusion, and monitor cardiac pressure. | CV lines |
| Which vein is the most common insertion site for central venous catheters? | subclavian |
| These type of tubes are used to manage a variety of respiratory complications and most often inserted via the mouth or nose, but in certain cases, the use of a tracheostomy is necessary. | Endotracheal tubes |
