| A cough described as being persistent for more than three weeks would be called: | Chronic |
| What are three problems associated with Hemapytosis? | Tuberculosis,Lung Carcinoma, and Pneumonia. |
| Breathlessness or air hunger would be described as: | Dyspnea |
| Shortness of breath in the upright position | Platypnea |
| Difficulty breathing in the reclining position | Orthopnea |
| What decade of life is snoring most present in adult males? | 50-59 yrs. |
| What disease is associated with "Night Sweats"? | Tuberculosis |
| The four classic vital signs are: | Temperature,Respiratory rate,Blood Pressure, and pulse. |
| What is a baseline measurement? | The initial reading from beginning of shift. |
| Normal temperature range for: Oral | 97.0-99.5 F 36.5-37.5 C |
| Normal temperature range for: Axillary | 96.7 F 35.9-36.9 C |
| Normal temperature range for:Rectal | 98.7-100.5 F 37.1-38.1 C |
| Hypothermia is: | body temp. below normal |
| Pulse and Respiratory Rate:Newborn | P 90-170 RR 35 to 45-70 w/excitement |
| Pulse and Respiratory Rate:1 Year | P 80 to 160 RR 25 to 30 |
| Pulse and Respiratory Rate:Preschool | P 80-120 RR 20-25 |
