Blood Pressure
This is the pressure exerted when the heart contracts.
What is systolic blood pressure?
This pulse grade indicates a bounding pulse.
What is +4?
This is the average oral temperature for a healthy adult.
What is 98.6°F?
This is the expected adult respiratory rate range.
What is 12 to 20 breaths per minute?
This is the normal range for oxygen saturation.
What is 95% to 100%?
A blood pressure reading of 130/85 mm Hg falls into this category.
What is Stage 1 Hypertension
This term describes a pulse rate below 60 beats per minute.
What is bradycardia?
This temperature range is considered normal for most adults.
What is 96.8°F to 100.4°F?
This term describes abnormally rapid breathing.
What is tachypnea?
This device is used to measure oxygen saturation noninvasively.
What is a pulse oximeter?
This condition is defined by a systolic pressure below 90 mm Hg.
What is hypotension?
This term describes a pulse rate above 100 beats per minute.
What is tachycardia?
This temperature range indicates hypothermia.
What is 93.2°F to 96.8°F?
This term describes abnormally slow breathing.
What is bradypnea?
This alternative sensor site offers greater accuracy at low saturations.
What is the forehead or earlobe?
This is the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure.
What is pulse pressure?
This is the volume of blood pumped by the heart in one minute.
What is cardiac output?
This temperature is considered average when measured rectally.
What is 99.5°F?
This process involves the mechanical movement of air into and out of the lungs.
What is ventilation?
This pain scale uses numbers from 0 to 10
What is the numerical rating scale?
This type of hypotension occurs upon standing and may cause dizziness.
What is orthostatic hypotension?
This node initiates the electrical impulse that causes the heart to contract.
What is the sinoatrial (SA) node?
This temperature is considered average when measured in the axilla.
What is 97.7°F?
This is the expected respiratory rate for a newborn.
What is 30 to 60 breaths per minute?
This pediatric pain scale uses behavioral cues.
What is the FLACC scale?
