AND ANSWERS; 100% PASS
GUARANTEED; GRADED A+
+0 pulse - correct answer- absent
+1 edema - correct answer- mild pitting, slight
indentation, no perceptible swelling of the leg
+1 pulse - correct answer- weak, thready
+2 edema - correct answer- moderate pitting,
indentation subsides rapidly (10-15 sec)
+2 pulse - correct answer- Brisk, expected
(normal)
+3 edema - correct answer- deep pitting,
indentation remains for over 1 min, leg looks swollen
,+3 pulse - correct answer- full, increased
+4 edema - correct answer- very deep pitting,
indentation lasts a long time, leg is very swollen
+4 pulse - correct answer- bounding,
aneurysmal
ABCDE - correct answer- used to assess s/s of
melanoma

Diameter
Evolving
absence of PMI - correct answer- indicates
extracardiac issue (pleural or pericardial fluid)
,acute rheumatic fever - correct answer-
systemic connective tissue disease occurring after
streptococcal pharyngitis or skin infection
Allen test - correct answer- assesses patency of
ulnar artery
should be done prior to radial artery punctures
clamp ulnar and radial artery with two fingers
simultaneously, open and close fist 5 times, then release
pressure on ulnar artery to assess palmar reperfusion
no reperfusion indicates ulnar artery insufficiency
aortic regurgitation - correct answer- heard
with diaphragm patient sitting and leaning forward
incompetent valve allows backflow from aorta to ventricle
caused by rheumatic heart disease, Marfan syndrome,
syphilis, ankylosing spondylitis, dissection, or cardiac
trauma
EARLY DIASTOLIC, HIGH-PITCHED, BLOWING often with
diamond-shaped midsystolic murmur
AUSTIN-FLINT MURMUR common
, WATER-HAMMER or CORRIGAN pulse common
aortic stenosis - correct answer- calcification of
valve cusps restricts forward flow
caused by congenital bicuspid valve, rheumatic heart
disease, atherosclerosis
MID-SYSTOLIC murmur that is MEDIUM-PITCHED,
COARSE, DIAMOND-SHAPED, CRESCENDO-DECRESCENDO
RADIATES alone LEFT STERNAL BORDER and to CAROTID
with palpable thrill
may be the CAUSE OF SUDDEN DEATH IN CHILDREN AND
ADOLESCENTS with or without physical activity
aortic valve - correct answer- heart valve
between the left ventricle and the aorta (semilunar valve)
has 3 cusps
open during systole for pulmonary circulation and closes
during diastole to shut off backward flow into ventricles
2nd ICS at right sternal border
best location to auscultate S2
