| The transfer of heat from one object to another with direct contact. | Conduction |
| The transfer of heat away by air movement. | Convection |
| The transfer of heat energy when a liquid is turned into a gas. | Evaporation |
| Body temperature changes within a 24 hr period. | Circadian Rhythm |
| A constant body temperature continuously above 38 Celsius that has little fluctuation. | Sustained |
| Fever spikes interspersed with usual temperature levels. | Intermittent |
| Fever spikes and falls without a return to normal temperature values. | Remittent |
| Periods of febrile episodes and periods with acceptable temperature values. | Relapsing |
| Another name for itching. | Pruritus |
| Drugs that reduce fever. | Antipyretics |
| A feeling of general discomfort or uneasiness, an "out of sorts" feeling, often the first indication of an infection or other disease. | Malaise |

| Accumulation of serious fluid in peritoneal cavity. | Ascites |
| The sounds auscultated during BP measurements. | Korotkoff Phases |
| To cough up and spit out mucus. | Expectorated |
| Located in the medulla, Aortic Bodies, and Carotid Bodies sense of changes in chemical content of Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Carbon Dioxide levels in the blood. | Chemoreceptors |
| This controls of automatic control of respirations. | Medulla Oblongata |
| This is where control of voluntary respirations deliver impulses to respiratory motor neurons by the way of the spinal cord. | Cerebral Cortex |
| Maintains rhythm and depth of respirations and balance between inspiration and expiration. | Neural Regulation |
| This is a systems model utilizing external and internal stimuli; and the clients adaptation level to maximize health status. | The Roy Adaptation Model |
| Describes the three broad categories of factors that are thought to contribute to thrombosis. (Hypercoagulability, Hemodynamic Changes, and Endothelial injury/dysfunction. | Virchow's Triad. |

| Triglycerides in Females? | 35-135 md/dl |
| Radionuclide angiography. Used to evaluate cardiac structure, myocardial perfusion and contractility. | Scintigraphy |
| A group of therapies used to mobilize pulmonary secretions (i.e. postural drainage, chest percussion, and vibration). | Chest Physiotherapy |
| Is a componen of hygiene; it consist of drainage, positioning and turning and is sometimes accompanied by chew percussion and vibration. | Postural Drainage |
| Is characterized by abnormal transept of chloride and sodium across epithelium, leaden to thick, viscous secretions. | Cystic Fibrosis |
