Blood Pressure & Perfusion
What is the formula for Cardiac Output?
Heart Rate x Stroke Volume
On the strength scale, what is the numerical grade for a pulse that feels weal, diminished, or thready?
1+
Clinical term to describe the physical movement of air into and out of the lungs
Ventilation
This structure in the brain acts as the body's primary thermoregulatory control center
Hypothalamus
Intact skin with localized non-blanchable erythema over a bony prominence is categorized as this stage
Stage 1 Pressure Injury
What is the numerical difference between systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?
Pulse Pressure
This pulse site is located at the left 5th intercoastal space at the midclavicular line in an adult?
Apical Pulse
The process by which O2 and CO2 pass across the thin alveolar-capillary membrane
Diffusion
The transfer of body heat away through liquid converting to vapor, such as during sweating
Evaporation
Name at least 3 of the 6 official risk assessment domains measured by the Braden Scale
Sensory Perception, Moisture, Activity, Mobility, Nutrition, and Friction/Shear
A blood pressure cuff's inflatable bladder length should encircle this percentage of the patient's arm circumference
80%-100%
Pulse Deficit
Quiet inspirations occurs when this main respiratory muscle contracts and moves downward
Diaphragm
This temperature measurement route is contraindicated in patient's bleeding risk, or recent surgery in the area
Rectal Route
Full-thickness skin and tissue loss where the bed depth is completely covered by slough or eschar. What classification does this fall under?
Unstageable
A decrease of at lease this many mm Hg in systolic blood pressure upon standing defines an orthostatic drop
20 mmHg (or 10 mm Hg diastolic)
These two arteries must never be palpated simultaneously to avoid severely compromising cerebral blood flow
Carotid Arteries
Pulse oximetry (SpO2) specifically estimates this percentage in arterial blood
Percentage of hemoglobin binding sites occupied by oxygen
Drinking ice water immediately prior to an oral temperature assessment creates this measurement error
Falsely Low Reading
Thin, watery, clear to pale-yellow would drainage is documented using this term
Serous Drainage
A _______ may be an early circulation cue
Rising Pulse
This intrinsic pacemaker structure normally initiates the cardiac electrical impulse that creates a palpable arterial pressure wave
Sinoatrial (SA) Node
Bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes is late and unreliable indicator of hypoxia
Cyanosis
Occurs when heat production or environmental heat exceeds the body's ability to lose heat without a regulated increase in set point
Hyperthermia
The surgical would emergency characterized by the protrusion of internal visceral organs through a separated wound opening
Evisceration
