What's The Term For A Temperature of 95 degrees F? - (answer)Hypothermia
What Are The Different Methods Of Measuring Temperature? - (answer)Oral,
tympanic, rectal, axillary, & temporal
What Are the Common Causes Of Bradycardia? - (answer)long-term physical
fitness, hypothermia, medication changes, positions from standing or sitting to
lying down, chronic severe pain, hyperthyroidism, and relaxation
What Temperature Indicates Death? - (answer)<95F (93.2)
What Is Tachycardia? - (answer)A pulse rate greater than the expected reference
range or greater than 100 bpm
,What types of sounds are best heard with the diaphragm of a stethoscope? -
(answer)High-pitched sounds like bowel sounds, crackles in the lungs, and the
splitting of S2 heart sound.
How would FLARED NOSTRIL WITH RETRACTION Be Documented? -
(answer)Signs of labored breathing or respiratory distress
What are the proper steps for assessing the radial pulse? - (answer)wash hands,
locate radial pups between wrist and tendon palate assess rate, rhythm & strength
Which part of the brain regulates body temperature? - (answer)Hypothalamus
The pulse is caused by the contraction of which part of the heart? - (answer)The
pulse is caused by the contraction of the left ventricle of the heart.
How do you properly position the ear when taking a tympanic temperature on a 4-
year-old child? - (answer)Pull the ear up and back
,Which parts of the brain control respiration? - (answer)Medulla Oblongata & Pons
What are the correct steps and considerations for assessing radial and other
peripheral pulses, including when to assess the apical pulse? - (answer)Perform
hand hygiene and provide privacy. Locate the radial pulse on the radial- or thumb-
side of the forearm at the wrist. Place the index and middle finger of one hand
gently but firmly over the pulse. Assess the pulsation for rate, rhythm, amplitude,
and quality. If the peripheral pulsation is regular, count the rate for 30 sec and
multiply by 2. If the pulsation is irregular, count for a full minute and compare the
result to the apical pulse rate. Measure the temporal, carotid, brachial, femoral,
popliteal, posterior tibial, or dorsal pedal pulses using the same technique. Locate
the apical pulse at the fifth intercostal space at the left midclavicular line. Use this
site for assessing the heart rate of an infant, checking a heart rate prior to the
administration of cardiac medications, or to validate the precise rate when a rapid
(greater than 100/min) or irregular pulse is detected. Place the diaphragm of a
stethoscope on the chest at the fifth intercostal space at the left midclavicular line.
If the rhythm is regular, count for 30 sec and multiply by 2. If the rhythm is
irregular or the client is receiving cardiovascular medications, count for 1 full min
, If a patient has no accessible arms, how should blood pressure be assessed? -
(answer)The thigh should be use to take blood pressure with a special cuff for the
thigh or an appropriate size to fit
What are the correct steps for preparing, performing, and documenting a manual
blood pressure assessment? - (answer)1. Preparation
Have the patient rest quietly for 5 minutes before assessment.
Ensure no caffeine, exercise, or smoking within 30 minutes.
Seat the patient with:
Back supported
Feet flat on the floor
Arm supported at heart level
2. Equipment
Use a properly sized cuff:
Width = 40% of arm circumference
Length = 80% of arm circumference
