Grading Pulses

1+: weak or thready
2+: normal
3+: increased, full, bounding

100

glandular tissue

-found in breast
-produces milk
-contains lobes, ducts, and sinuses



100

-supplying oxygen to body for energy production
-removing carbon dioxide as a waste product
-maintaining homeostasis (acid-base balance)
-maintaining heat exchange

What is Function of the Lungs?

100

-inner layer of skin
-stores fat for energy production
-provides insulation for temperature control
-gives cushioning effect

What is subcutaneous layer/adipose tissue?

100

conduction pattern

1) SA node
2) AV node
3) bundle of His
4) purkinje fibers

200

-high force and pressure
-bring oxygenated blood from heart to cells
-ex: temporal, carotid, brachial, ulnar, radial, femoral

What are Arteries? 

200

· breast changes begin around 2nd month

· areolas+ nipples darken Increase in size

 · Colostrum precedes milk production 

· milk begins 1-3 days post delivery

Developmental Changes- Pregnancy

200

vertebra prominens (C7), spinous process (T1), inferior angle of scapula (7th to 8th rib), and 12th rib

posterior thoracic landmarks

200

red, swollen, tender inflammation of nail folds

paronychia 


200

5th intercostal space, left sternal border


what is tricuspid valve auscultation?

300

5 P's of neuromuscular assessment

-pain: due to lack of bloodflow
-pulse: absent or diminished
-pallor (or cyanosis)
-paresthesia: won't feel sharpness
-paralysis: cannot move feet/toes

300

-round, firm, soft, rubbery masses
-usually modularity is bilateral
-well demarcated
-multiple, mobile, tender combination of cysts and fibroadenomas
-can increase of decrease in size with menses
-usually benign
-usually develops around ages 30-55, decreases after menopause

what is benign breast diseases?

300

anterior thoracic landmarks

suprasternal notch, sternum, second rib, manubriosternal angle, and costal angle

300

-autoimmune disorder that attacks the hair follicles
-causes well-defined bald areas on the scalp or elsewhere on the body


What is alopecia areata?


300

heart sounds to auscultate

-aortic valve
-pulmonic valve
-erb's point
-tricuspid valve
-mitral valve

400

-caused by atherosclerosis
-changes size and lining of vessel wall
-risk factors include obesity, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and sedentary lifestyle

What is Occlusions?

400

adipose tissue (of breast)

-makes up the majority of the breast
-has lobes embedded
-the amount is your cup size
-amount and ratios depend on age, pregnancy, menstrual cycle, and nutrition status

400

-discontinuous lung sound
-low-pitched bubbling/gurgling sound present on inspiration and expiration
-not clear with coughing
-sounds like velcro ripping
-ex: PNA, terminally ill with depressed cough reflex

what are coarse crackles?

400

-blue discoloration of skin
-indicates a respiratory or cardiac oxygenation issue
-normally bilateral


what is central cyanosis?

400

S2

-second heart sound, "dub"
-occurs with the closure of the semilunar valves
-signals end of systole
-aortic component slightly precedes pulmonic component
-heard loudest at base

500

-narrowing of major arteries that supply blood to the lower extremities
-associated with several genes interacting with themselves and the environment
-smoking is strongest risk factor
-ABI is the best screening tool and is noninvasive

What is peripheral arterial disease?

500

montgomery glands

-sebaceous glands in areola
-lubricate nipple during lactation

500

fine crackles (rales)

-discontinuous lung sound
-high pitched popping sounds during inspiration
-not cleared with coughing
-sounds like when your old hair near your ears
-ex: PNA, chronic pulmonary diseases

500

-secondary skin lesion below the skin surface
-breakdown of skin
-red, raw, sore
-ex: diaper rash


what is excoriation?

500

myocarditis

-inflammation of the heart muscle
-from autoimmune disease or virus
