Question
Answer
Target heart rate formula:   a method for obtaining an appropriate demand on the heart during exercise.  
🗑
The age-adjusted maximum heart rate is determined by   subtracting the patientʼs age from 220.  
🗑
The training heart rate   is determined by multiplying the age-adjusted maximum heart rate by the appropriate percentage of intensity that the patient should maintain during exercise.  
🗑
Normal training intensity ranges   from 60-90% of the age-adjusted maximum heart rate.  
🗑
A patient with cardiac pathology must have exercise intensity determined from   the results of a stress test.  
🗑
The Karvonen formula   is a method to obtain an appropriate range for training heart rate.  
🗑
Karvonen formula 1 The maximum heart rate is obtained .   by an exercise stress test (or the age-adjusted maximum heart rate) and the resting heart rate is subtracted from it. This number is termed the heart rate reserve  
🗑
Karvonen formula 2 The heart rate reserve   is multiplied by both ends of the prescribed range (e.g., HR reserve x 60% and HR reserve x 80%). The resting heart rate is then added to each of the two numbers to identify the upper and lower limits of the prescribed target heart rate.  
🗑
Carotid pulse location   Anterior to sternocleidomastoid  
🗑
Brachial pulse location   Medial aspect of arm midway between shoulder and elbow  
🗑
Radial pulse location   At wrist, lateral to flexor carpi radialis tendon  
🗑
Ulnar pulse location   At wrist, between flexor digitorum superficialis and flexor carpi ulnaris tendons  
🗑
Femoral pulse location   In femoral triangle (sartorius, adductor longus, and inguinal ligament)  
🗑
Popliteal pulse location   Posterior aspect of knee (deep and hard to palpate)  
🗑
Posterior tibial pulse location   Posterior aspect of medial malleolus  
🗑
Dorsalis pedis pulse location   Between first and second metatarsal bones on superior aspect of the foot  
🗑
Heart rate indirectly measures   the rate of contraction of the left ventricle through a peripheral pulse site.  
🗑
Normal heart rate values for Infant:   100 to 130 bpm  
🗑
Normal heart rate values for Child:   80 to 100 bpm  
🗑
Normal heart rate values for Adult:   60 to 100 bpm  
🗑
Pulse sites for measurement include:   brachial, carotid, dorsal pedal, femoral, popliteal, posterior tibial, radial, and temporal pulses. The carotid and radial pulse sites are the most common sites for measuring a patientʼs pulse rate.  
🗑
A regular and strong heart beat may be taken   for 15 seconds and multiplied by four to obtain the per minute heart rate  
🗑
If there is any form of irregularity the pulse should be taken for a full 60 seconds   the pulse should be taken for a full 60 seconds  
🗑
Use the index and   middle fingers to measure the heart rate, never the thumb  
🗑
Assess and document   the rhythm as regular or irregular the strength or amplitude of the pulse as strong, medium or weak  
🗑
An alternate method to obtain heart rate is to   auscultate over the apical pulse for one minute  
🗑
S1   “lub” mitral and tricuspid valves closing at the onset of systole  
🗑
S2   “dub” aortic and pulmonic valves closing at the onset of diastole  
🗑
S3   (ventricular gallop) abnormal in older adults; noncompliant left ventricle; may be associated with congestive heart failure  
🗑
S4   Pathological sound of vibration of the ventricular wall with ventricular filling and atrial contraction; may be associated with hypertension, stenosis, hypertensive heart disease or myocardial infarction  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
