100

The warmth in deeper sites within the body like brain and heart. Usually from 97F-99.5F

Core Temperature

100

What is the pattern of the pulsations and the pauses between them

Pulse Rhythm 
100

The number of ventilations per minute

Respiratory rate 

100
The force the blood exerts within the arteries 

Blood Pressure 

100

What is considered a "normal blood pressure"

120/80

100

What is considered the 5th vital sign

Pain

200

Acts as the center for temperature regulation 

Hypothalamus

200

"3+" is an example of what

Normal pulse volume, moderate pressure causes it to disappear 

200
Rapid or deep breathing, or both

Hyperventilation 

200

Pressure within the arterial system when the heart contracts 

Systolic Pressure

200

What rage is considered a "normal heart rate"

60-100

200

What is pulse deficit 

A difference between the apical and radial pulse

300

Which two sites provide the more accurate shell temperature due to their proximity near the hypothalamus

Tympanic and Temporal

300

A patient has a pulse of 120 bmp, what type of pulse rate is this?

Tachycardia

300
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and the body cells 

Internal or tissue respiration

300

If someone had a mastectomy on both sides, which artery would you not want to use

Brachial Artery 

300

What range is considered normal for respiration on an adult female

16-20

300
What are two examples of when you would take someone's vital signs?
Per orders, change in patient status, once per shift if stable, on admission, before, during and after blood admin, a second time or more frequently if there is a significant difference from previous measurements
400

Contraindications of using this type of thermometer include the very young, uncooperative, unconscious, oral surgery

Electronic (Oral) Thermometer 

400
What artery is located on the inner side of the wrist and is most often used for pulse assessment 

Radial Artery 

400

Life threatening if it lasts more than 4-6 minutes

Apnea

400
A blood pressure cuff put on a patient is too small, what will the blood pressure show

A falsely high reading

400

What shell temperature range is considered normal?

99.6-99.3

400

Cold body temperature was best measures with which type of thermometer?

Tympanic Thermometer 

500

List the temperature which is considered a fever and give 2 symptoms of a fever

99.3, Pinkish red skin, restlessness, irritability, nausea, glassy eyes, photosensitivity, diaphoretic, HA, myalgia, tachycardia, tachypnea, disorientation/confusion seizures in children, fever blisters/cold sores

500

This rate is counted by listening at the chest with a stethoscope at the 5th intercostal at the left midclavicular line, at the apex of the heart, for one full minute

Apical Heart rate

500

Breathing pattern in which the depth of respirations gradually increases, followed by a gradual decrease and then a period when the breathing stops briefly before resuming 

Cheyne-Stokes

500
