Question	Answer
body temp is regulated by	air movement,which causes heat to be transferred from the skin to the air molecules by convection
_____ is necessary for alveoli to remain open	surfactant
what changes in vitals ocurr in the elderly?	rhythm may be slightly irregular(normal range of heart rate does not change)
what is a pulse deficit?	the difference between the apical and radial pulses.(apical minus radial)

the correct technique to measure a patients blood pressure (bp) is?	that the brachial artery should be at the level of the right atrium.
a phase of V Korotkoff sound is?	silence, it makes diastolic pressure in adults
a nurse finds that a patients vitals have significantly changed. the nurse should :	notify the health care provider, notification and response should be documented
___ are substances that cause fevers.	pyrogens. pyrogens include bacteria that cause an immune response, which results in a temp raise
a patient has a high fever that has persisted for 3 days. what should be recognized as being associated with a prolonged fever?	deyhydration,delirium, and convulsions
apnea	absence of breathing
bradycardia	pulse rate less than 60 bpm

defervescence	abatement of fever
hypoxia	decreased oxygen in the blood
arrhythmia	irregular heart rate
pulse deficit	difference between the radial and apical pulse
stridor	high pitched cowing sound on inspiration
tachycardia	pulse rate greater than 100 bpm
tachypnea	rapid respiratory rate
bradypnea	slow,shallow breathing
dyspnea	difficult and labored breathing
found below the line for bp	diastolic pressure
an abrupt decline in fever is called a:	crisis
fever is caused by	rise in metabolism
the patient who has a fever should be prevented from chills because:	muscle action of shivering raises heat production.
systolic blood pressure is the pressure:	exerted on the artery during left ventricular contraction.
if overhydration occurs, the blood pressure will :	increase
when measuring a pateints bp in the arm, the arm should be positioned:	straight and at the level of the heart.
when measuring respirations the patient should be:	not be talking or aware your taking the measurement
when checking pedal pulses, if in doubt about whether the pulse is present,you should	use a doppler stethoscope or device.
a type of korotkoff's sound that indicates the diastolic pressure in children and in some adults is:	muffling
when measuring blood pressure with an aneroid manometer, it is important to:	deflate the cuff slowly while observing the dial
biot's respirations ocurr in patients with increased intracranial pressure and are characterized by:	two or three shallow breaths followed by a period of apnea
as an infant grows, the heart rate slows. a heart rate within normal limits for a 6-month-old infant is:	124 bpm
a normal respitory rate in a 7-year-old child would be ____ than an adult.	higher
temp greater than 105.8f or 41c should be treated promptly to reduce the fever because of:	potential damage to the cells of the central nervous system
a person who makes harsh high sounds upon inspiration has what kind of respiratory condition?	stridor
pulse oximetry is used to:	determine the amount of oxygen carried in the blood.
a patient who has a bp decrease from supine to standing of 20mm hg or systolic, or 10mm hg or more diastolic, has:	orthostatic hypotension
a patient whose bp is consistenly 136/80 is classified as having	prehypertension
symptoms of shock that may be seen with hypotension are:	apprehension, tachycardia, and cool clammy skin
a patient's whose heart rate is irregular should have their vitals checked:	by taking the apical pulse for the full 60 seconds

Aim to eat less than _____ of sodium per day.	2300 mg
the phase in which th ventricles contract to eject blood	systole
the measurement of pressure pulsations exerted against the blood vessel walls during systole and distole.	blood pressure
the measurement of blood that enters the aorta with each ventricular contraction	stroke volume
the volume of blood pumped in one minute	cardiac output
the phase in which ventricles are relaxed and no blood is being ejected	diastole
the measurement of the ratio of stroke volume to compliance of the arterial system	pulse pressure
when instructing a patient on how to weigh themselves:	they should weigh themselves at the same time everyday wearing the same types of clothing
5 vital signs?	temperature, pulse, respiration, blood pressure, and pain.
what gives indicators as to the current health status of the patient and clues to changes in conditions as they occur?	vital signs
what are 5 times you should obtain vitals?	1.when admitted, 2.before and after surgery,3.before and after an invasive procedure, 4.before and after certain meds, 5.when the patient's condition changes.
as _____ increases, heat increases.	metabolism
when the body is invaded by pathogens:	it elavates the temp to elevate the basal metabolic rate in an effort to destroy pathogens.
