Question
Answer
show neurological and cardiovascular  
🗑
show rectum and tympanic membranes  
🗑
show skin, mouth and axillae  
🗑
normal temperature range   show
🗑
Difference between oral and rectal temperature   show
🗑
difference between oral and axillary temperatures   show
🗑
heat production results from   show
🗑
heat loss from body occurs through...   show
🗑
conduction   show
🗑
convection   show
🗑
evaporation   show
🗑
show transfer of heat from one object to another object w/o contact b/w them  
🗑
show large surface to mass ration, lose heat rapidly to environment. Should be maintained at 95.9 to 99.5 degrees.  
🗑
older adult and temperature   show
🗑
show slight rise w/ ovulation and menses. menopause, intermittent body temperature may inc. up to 7.2 degrees.  
🗑
exercise, activity and dehydration may contribute to _   show
🗑
illness and injury are often associated w/ ____ in temperature   show
🗑
show food, fluid, smoking  
🗑
inaccuracy in tympanic technique for temperature   show
🗑
show if the temperature exceeds 102.2 degrees  
🗑
hyperthermia   show
🗑
interventions for high fever   show
🗑
show body temperature < 95 degrees an abnormally low body temp.  
🗑
show provide warm environment temp, heated humidified oxygen, warming blanket, friction to extremities/warmed oral or IV fluids. continuous cardiac monitoring, emergency resuscitation equipment on standby.  
🗑
show how much blood is pumped from the heart (left vent) to arterial circulation in 1 minute. CO=HR x SV (stroke volume)  
🗑
The ____ system controls heart rate   show
🗑
The ____ system lower the heart rate   show
🗑
The ___ system raises the heart rate   show
🗑
show measurement of heart rate and rhythem. It is the wave-like sensations/impulses felt in a peripheral arterial vessel or over the apex of the heart.  
🗑
show number of times per minute the pulse is felt or heard  
🗑
show regularity at which each impulse is felt. Premature or late heart beat can result in an irregular interval and can indicate abnormal electrical activity of heart.  
🗑
strength (amplitude) of a pulse   show
🗑
equality - peripheral pulse   show
🗑
normal pulse range for adults   show
🗑
show pulse rate > 100/min  
🗑
bradycardia   show
🗑
show irregular rhythm of heart that frequently is noted as an irregular radial pulse  
🗑
pulse deficit   show
🗑
age impact on pulse   show
🗑
show exercise, fever, medications (epinephrine, levothyroixine), changing positions (lay to sit to stand) acute pain, hyperthyroidism, anemia, hypoxemia, stress, anxiety, fear, hypovolemia, shock and heart failure lead to dec. CO w/ compensatory inc. HR  
🗑
show long term physical fitness, hypothermia, meds (digoxin, beta-blockers, ca channel blockers), changing position (stand to sit to lay), chronic pain, hypothyroidism  
🗑
show 30 seconds times it by 2  
🗑
how long should you count an irregular pulse for?   show
🗑
show 5th intercostal space at left midclavicular line. Use for infant HR, rapid rates (>100/min), irregular rhythms or rates prior to administration of cardiac meds. 1 full minute.  
🗑
what should you also assess for in a client with tachycardia?   show
🗑
show hypotension, chest pain, diaphoresis, dyspnea, altered mental status  
🗑
show CO2 levels of the blood. If CO2 rises, RR inc. to rid body of excess.  
🗑
Ventilation   show
🗑
Diffusion   show
🗑
Perfusion   show
🗑
show vital sign evaluates effectiveness of ventilatory process of oxygen and co2 exchange.  
🗑
show number of full inspirations and expirations in 1 min. Determine by observing number of times chest rises and falls. Normal in adults is 12-20 RR/Min  
🗑
show amount of chest wall expansion occurs w/ each breath. abnormal depths are deep or shallow.  
🗑
show observe breathing intervals. reg rhythm w/ occasional sigh is normal in adults  
🗑
show measure O2 saturation of blood by infrared light that measures SaO2 (arterial oxygen saturation) by light absorption by oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin in arterial blood.  
🗑
normal pulse ox   show
🗑
pulse ox values may be slightly lower in what type of client   show
🗑
show <91%. <86% emergency <80% life threatening. The lower the value the less accurate the measurement  
🗑
show decreases with age. newborns have rate of 30-60/min. School age children 20-30/min. adults 12-20/min  
🗑
gender related issues to respiration   show
🗑
pains effect on respiration   show
🗑
anxiety effect on respiration   show
🗑
smoking effect on respiration   show
🗑
show upright allow chest wall to expand fully  
🗑
medications effect on respiration   show
🗑
Neurological injury and respiration   show
🗑
show dec, use of accessory muscles  
🗑
show impair oxygen carrying capacity of the blood, increases, change rhythm to compensate  
🗑
Hypoxemia   show
🗑
Blood pressure   show
🗑
show occurs during ventricular systole of heart and represents max amt of pressure exerted on arteries.  
🗑
show occurs during ventricular diastole of heart and represents min amt of pressure exerted on arteries.  
🗑
show CO and systemic vascular resistance. BP= CO x SVR. CO determined by HR, Contractility, blood volume, venous return (up any > up CO > up BP) SVR determined by amt of constriction/dilation of arteries. up in SVR > up BP
