2. Hypoxia: deficiency in the amount of oxygen reaching the tissues
3. Auscultation: to listen
4. Palpation: an examination technique in which the examiner's hands are used to feel the texture, size,
consistency, and location of certain body parts
5. percussion: tapping on a surface to determine the difference in the density of the underlying structure
6. Piece of equipment is used to perform the Weber test and Rinne test: Tuning Fork
7. Weber's test and Rinne's test are performed in order to assess: Sound Conduction
(deafness)
8. When assessing a "PT" eye, which instrument would the nurse use to visualize the
retina: Ophtalmoscope
9. ophtalmoscope: instrument for examining the interior of the eye, especially the retina
10. percutaneous: through the skin
11. The nurse performs a comprehensive assessment of a newly admitted client. What is the
primary purpose of this admission assessment: Identify baseline data
, 12. Comprehensive assessment: The comprehensive assessment is conducted when a client first enters
the health care setting to obtain baseline information that can be used for comparison to later assessments.
13. When assessing the glossopharyngeal nerve, it is most important for the nurse to implement
which intervention: The clients ability to swallow
14. popping sounds heard on auscultation of the lungs: crackles
15. Hepatitis: inflammation of the liver
16. Hepatitus B Virus: Virus caused by contact with bodily fluids and can cause scarring of the
liver, liver failure, cancer, or death.
17. Assessment: Before the nurse can determine what care a person requires, the nurse must
determine the client's needs and problems. This requires the use of assessment skills and data
collection, which include interviewing, observing, and examining the client, and in some cases, the
client's family. Following the assessment, the nurse can also use the client's medical record and
contact other healthcare providers.
18. When using an interpreter: The nurse should observe the cues the client expresses with
body language, and listen to the tone of voice.
19. Tugor: skins elasticity; poor elasticity seen when skin remains pinched (slowly unfolds) sign of
dehydration
20. Chlorhexidine: an antibacterial compound with substantial residual activity that is used as a liquid
antiseptic and disinfectant
21. arterial blood pressure: Arterial blood pressure (ABP), a basic hemodynamic index, is often used
to guide therapeutic interventions in critically ill patients
22. peripheral venous catheter: a peripheral venous catheter, peripheral venous line or peripheral
venous access catheter is a catheter placed into a peripheral vein for intravenous therapy such as
medication fluids. Upon insertion, the line can be used to draw blood
23. Edema happens when there is which fluid volume imbalance?: extracellular fluid volume excess
24. Anemia: a deficiency of red blood cells
25. pallor: Extreme or unnatural paleness
26. Packed Red Blood Cells (PRBCs): To increase oxygen-carrying capacity in patients with anemia,
in patients with substantial hemoglobin deficits, and in patients who have lost up to 25% of their total
blood volume
administered as 1 unit over 2-3 hours not to exceed 4 hours
27. Potassium sparing diuretics: Potassium-sparing diuretics such as spironolac- tone, amiloride, and
triamterene all have the potential to cause hyperkalemia.
28. Pediatric IV sites: foot
29. NPO: nothing by mouth
