COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS EXPERT VERIFIED
◉ veins. Answer: passive blood flow - do not have a pulse, returns to
the heart via movement through the skeletal muscles
◉ femoral pulse site. Answer: groin
◉ popliteal pulse site. Answer: back of knee
◉ radial pulse site. Answer: Located at the wrist on the thumb side
◉ dorsalis pedis pulse site. Answer: top of foot
◉ posterior tibial pulse site. Answer: on medial surface of ankle near
ankle bone
◉ ischemia. Answer: Lack of blood supply, causes pain
,◉ necrosis. Answer: long term lack of blood supply, tissue death
◉ axillary lymph nodes. Answer: located under the arms in the
armpits
◉ cervical lymph nodes. Answer: located along the sides of the neck
◉ Epitrochlear lymph nodes. Answer: Epitrochlear lymph nodes-
drains from the hand and forearm
◉ inguinal lymph nodes. Answer: located in the inguinal (groin) area
of the lower abdomen
◉ Children and Lymph Nodes. Answer: nodes can be enlarged with
no pain/infection
◉ Pregnancy and PV. Answer: dependent edema, varicose veins
◉ peripheral artery disease. Answer: A form of peripheral vascular
disease in which there is partial or total blockage of an artery,
usually one leading to a leg or arm. 50% of cases are African
Americans. RF: smoking, HTN, diabetes
,◉ intermittent claudication. Answer: when walking, muscle needs
more O2 blood, and you have any kind of occlusion, when walking
pain is increased
◉ Pulse Scale. Answer: 0: absent
1+: weak
2+: normal
3+: increased, full, bounding
◉ Allen test. Answer: determining the patency of the radial and
ulnar arteries by compressing one artery site and observing return
of skin color as evidence of patency of the other artery, determine if
radial artery has been damaged, press radial artery then see if ulnar
artery perfuses to hand
◉ venous ulcers. Answer: bleed, medial malleolus
◉ arterial (ischemic) ulcers. Answer: does not bleed, has a necrotic
black crust, lateral malleolus
◉ neuropathic ulcer. Answer: destroys nerve endings, burning
pain/numbness
, ◉ Edema Scale. Answer: • 1+ Mild pitting, slight indentation, no
perceptible swelling of the leg
• 2+ Moderate pitting, indentation, subsides rapidly
• 3+ Deep pitting, indentation remains for a short time, leg looks
swollen
• 4+ Very deep pitting, indentation lasts a long time, leg is very
swollen
◉ Doppler ultrasound. Answer: determine location of pulse
◉ Raynaud's disease. Answer: autoimmune, sporadic
vasoconstriction then relaxation, happens in hands/toes usually
◉ Lymphadema. Answer: enlarged lymph nodes, hard edema
◉ Varicose veins. Answer: abnormally swollen, twisted veins with
defective valves; most often seen in the legs
◉ DVT. Answer: inflammatory process, swelling, redness, heat, pain,
happens from venastasis, pooling of blood in calf
-tachycardia, low grade temp
-women on birth control who smoke are at a higher risk, and also
those who are dehydrated since blood is more viscous
-Do not perform homan's sign test (flexing foot back)
