Question | Answer |
Blood Pressure | The pressure exerted by the circulation blood against the walls of the arteries |
Core Temperature | The internal body temperature |
Homeostasis | A state of equilibrium within the body maintained through the adaptation of body systems to changes in either internal or external enviorment |
Pulse | A vital sign; a quantitative measurement of the heart-beat using the fingers to palpate an artery or a stethoscope |
Respiration | breathing; the process of bringing oxygen into the body and expelling carbon dioxide |
Vital signs | assessments of pulse, respiration, blood pressure, and temperature; body functions essential to life |
What are veins? | Blood vessels that carry blood FROM the body and TO the heart. Has NO oxygen= blue blood. |
What are arteries? | Blood vessels that carry blood FROM heart TO rest of the body. HAS oxygen. These are what create the pulse (contraction and expansion) |
Rapid BUT weak pulse indicates..? | Shock, bleeding, diabetic, coma, or heat exhaustion |
Rapid BUT strong pulse indicates..? | Heat stroke, severe fright, hypertension (high blood pressure) |
Slow BUT strong pulse indicates..? | Skull fracture or a stroke |
No pulse indicates..? | Death or Cardiac arrest |
What is the normal pulse rate | 60-100 BPM |
Tachycardia | Fast heart More than 100 bpm |
Bradycardia | Slow heart Slower than 60 BPM |
3 Descriptions when describing pulse | Rate- the amount of beats Quality- strong or weak Rhythm- regular or irregular |
What is respiration? | Breathing bringing oxygen INTO body for cells to use and expelling CO2 OUT of body One breath in=inspiration; one breath out=expiration |
Normal respiration for a 15 year old? | 15-20 Breaths per minute |
Normal respiration for a well-trained athlete? | 6-8 Breaths per minute |
What does "Pnea" mean? | Lungs; breathing EX: Apnea=not breathing, Tachypnea= rapid breathing, Dyspnea= Painful breathing |
Areas where you can check pulse? (7) | 1. Carotid= neck 2. Radial= wrist 3. Brachial= bicep 4. Femoral= groin 5. Popliteal= behind knee 6. Pedal= foot 7. Apical= in chest |
Systolic Pressure VS Diastolic Pressure | Systolic= top number in BP reading, shows the BP when the heart contracts (first heard) Diastolic= Bottom number in BP reading. Shows the heart at rest (last beat heard) |
Normal BP Range for systolic and diastolic | Systolic= 100 mm Hg- 140 mm Hg Diastolic= 65 mm Hg- 90 mm Hg |
Low BP indicates..? | Hypotension, shock, dehydration, internal injury |
High BP indicates..? | Hypertension, strokes, cardiac problems, hemorrhaging |
What equipment do you use to take Blood Pressure? | Sphygomomanometer (cuff around arm; needs to cover 3/4's of arm)and a stethoscope |
What is the core temperature? This is also the normal body temperature. | 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit |
What/where are the 3 places you can take temperature? | 1. Oral, under tongue 2. Rectal, butt 3. Tympanic (ear) |
