Knowledge
Measurement of the amount of pressure exerted by the blood within the circulatory system.
Blood pressure.
36° C - 38° C.
Expected body temperature.
Regular rhythm, abnormally deep and rapid.
Kussmaul respirations.
Temperature of deep body tissues.
Core temperature.
Dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, increased pulse, fatigue.
S/S of hypotension.
12-20.
Respiratory rate.
Expected finding in physically fit clients.
Bradycardia.
Amount of blood pumped into circulatory system within one minute.
Cardiac output.
Irregular cycling pattern ranging from shallow to deep, with hyperventilation and apnea.
Cheyne-Stokes respirations.
Loss of heat D/T indirect contact with or being close to cooler surface.
Radiation.
Intrinsic pacemaker of heart.
Sinoatrial (SA) node.
Loss of heat via gases from lungs or drying of sweat.
Evaporation.
Increases risk of heart attack or stroke.
HTN.
Systolic pressure 130 - 139 mm Hg, or diastolic pressure 80 - 89 mm Hg.
Stage I HTN.
Regulated by the hypothalamus.
Body temperature.
Not modifiable, age, ethnicity, genetics.
Intrinsic risk factors.
Common pulse site.
Radial pulse.
Indicated by ejection fraction.
Contractility.
Loss of heat D/T air currents.
Convection.
S/S include shivering, decreased motor skills, impaired peripheral perfusion.
Hypothermia.
Difference between apical pulse and peripheral pulse (radial) in 1 minute.
Pulse deficit.
Greater than 100.
Tachycardia.
60-100.
Pulse rate.
Midclavicular line, 5th intercostal space.
Apical pulse.
5th vital sign.
Pain.
