100
This is the term used to describe respiratory rates greater than 20 breaths per minute.
What is Tachypnea?
100
This is the name of a noninvasive device used to provide ongoing assessment of the hemoglobin oxygen saturation of arterial blood and the patient's pulse rate. This light-emitting probe can connect to the finger, toe, earlobe, temple, nose or forehead of the patient.
What is a pulse oximeter.
100
This is the organ that causes force to be exerted by blood on the arterial walls, which is expressed as a "blood pressure" reading.
What is the heart.
100
This oxygen device should never be transported by hand, but rather should be transported in a cart, under a litter, or in an appropriate holder on a wheelchair.
What is an oxygen cylinder.
100
Nasal cannulas are used to deliver 1-4 Liters of oxygen per minute. Is it true that 1-4 L of oxygen delivers approximately 24-36% of oxygen?
What is a true statement.
200
This is the term to describe a decrease in the respiratory rate.
What is bradypnea.
200
This artery is located on the thumb side of the wrist.
What is the Radial Artery

A constant pressure is exerted on the arterial vessels by the blood when the heart is relaxed. This pressure is referred to as _______pressure.
What is diastolic pressure.
200
This is the major muscle involved in ventilation.
What is the diaphragm.
200
This term is defined as a relative constancy in the internal environment of the body that is naturally maintained by adaptive responses that promote healthy survival.
