| treatments may need to be adjusted in response to what? | vital signs |
| normal baseline values are taken with a pt to establish a what? | reference point |
| what are 5 conditions or situations in a pt that in baseline vital signs are important? | elderly, very young, cardiovascular problems, cardiopulmonary problems, bedridden pts |
| A PTA should find out the cause of an abnormal VS _ _ _ _ _ _ Rx. | before |
| if a pt has abnormal values at rest you should or should not give Rx before finding out the cause? | should not |
| will a pt be more or less able to handle Rx activities with abnormal VS at rest? | less |
| establishing realistic goals of the Rx can be done by what? | vital signs |
| what can assist in developing a Rx plan? | vital signs |
| assessing a pt's response to a Rx can be done by? | vital signs |
| physical activity can change? | vital signs |
| environmental temperature can effect? | vital signs |
| age can effect? | vital signs |
| emotional status can effect? | vital signs |
| physical condition can effect? | vital signs |
| when a patient suddenly becomes confused you should check? | vital signs |
| when a patient suddenly becomes extremely fatigued or exhausted you should? | check vital signs |
| Sudden onset of: Syncope, Lethargy, Emotional changes, Diaphoresis and Vertigo the PTA should? | checking vital signs |
| what are 4 ways to check body temperature? | rectally, orally, tympanic, axillary |
| what is the most accurate way to check body temperature? | rectally |
| Fever is also called? | Pyrexia |
| a temperature greater than 100 deg f is called? | Pyrexia |
| a temperature greater than 106 deg F is called? | hyperpyrexia |
| Hypothermia is a body temperature less than? | 94 deg F |
| age, environmental temperature, emotional changes, infection, physical activity and time of day can all effect? | body temperature |
| body temperature can be effected by? | age, environmental temperature, emotional status change, infection, physical activity, time of day |
| Name 5 things that if suddenly occurred would warrant a PTA for checking vital signs? | Syncope Lethargy, Emotional status, Diaphoresis, Vertigo |
| name 5 types of pts in which baseline VS values are important | very old, very young, cardiopulmonary problems, cardiovascular problems, bedridden patients |
| pulse occurs when the _ _ _ _ ventricle contracts | left |

| 100-130bbm is the normal HR for age? | newborn |
| 80-120bbm is the normal HR for age? | children |
| name 5 things that effect HR | age, cardiovascular disease gender, infection medications, |
| name 5 sites for measuring pulse | temporal, brachial, carotid, radial, femoral |
| pulse rate increases slowly with vigorous exercise, this is an _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ response | abnormal |
| pulse does not increase with activity is an _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ response | abnormal |
| pulse continues to increase or decrease as activity plateaus is an _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | abnormal response |
| is HR becomes irregular or pulse declines before activity ends this would be? | abnormal |
| a small amount of blood and weak contraction is termed? | thready |
| a large amount of blood and strong contraction is termed | bounding |
| name 5 factors that affect BP? | Age, Blood volume Cardiac output Emotional status, Medications, |
| patients with _ _ _ _ blood _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ are more susceptible to coronary artery disease, CVA, PVD and CHF | high pressure |
