What measures the point of highest flow during forced expiration. Reflects changes in the size of pulmonary airways and is routinely used for patients with moderate or severe asthma to measure the severity of the disease and effectiveness of treatment.
What is a Peak Flow Meter

What is Hypoxemia
A group of nursing students and their instructor are providing free blood pressure measurements during their community clinical experience. This experience is what type of health prevention?
What is secondary prevention.
This is activation of pain receptors
What is Transduction
A nurse plans to promote a patient’s natural pain mediators by using a whirlpool following intensive physical therapy to the legs. What is a potent pain-blocking neuromodulator, released through relaxation techniques?
Endorphins which are produced at neural synapses at various points along the CNS pathway. They are powerful pain-blocking chemicals that have prolonged analgesic effects and produce euphoria. It is thought that endorphins are released through pain relief measures, such as relaxation techniques.
