NSG 300 Exam V1
1. factors affecting temperature: circadian rhythm: lowest temperature at 6 amand highest
temperature at 4 pm (in healthy people)
2. factors affecting temperature: stress: stress increases metabolism, increas-ing oxygen
need
when the body cant meet this demand = hypoxia
3. factors affecting temperature: environment: room temperature/ temperatureoutside can
lead to increase or decrease body temperature
4. fever: Abnormally high body temperature important mechanism and enhances immune
system
5. hyperthermia: abnormally high body temperature due to the body inability topromote heat
loss or reduce heat production
6. hypothermia: Abnormally low body temperature often associated with exposureto cold and
the body is unable to compensate
7. heatstroke: prolonged exposure to the sun or high environmental temperatureoverwhelms
the heat-loss mechanisms the body
8. heat exhaustion: condition resulting from exposure to heat and excessive lossof fluid
through diaphoresis
results in excess water and electrolyte loss
9. normal pulse range: 60-100 bpmstrong and regular
10. factors that influence pulse: exercise: short term exercise increases pulserate
heart conditioned by long term exercise (athlete) will have lower resting pulse
11. what factors influence pulse: ExerciseTemperature
Acute pain Emotions Drugs Hemorrhage
Position changes Pulmonary conditions
12. factors that influence pulse: temperature: fever and heat increase pulsehypothermia
decrease pulse
13. factors that influence pulse: acute pain: increase in sympathetic activity willincrease HR
effects of chronic pain/parasympathetic stimulation increases by unrelieved painwhich
decreases HR
14. factors that influence pulse: emotions: SNS increase pulse (anxiety)PNS decrease pulse
15. factors that influence pulse: medications: epinephrine- increase HRbeta adrenergic and
CC blockers decrease HR
, 16. factors that influence pulse: hemorrhage: sympathetic stimulation by loss ofblood
increases HR
17. factors that influence pulse: postural changes: stand: increases HRlying down: decreases
HR
18. factors that influence pulse: pulmonary conditions: (asthma, COPD)--> in-creased HR
due to poor oxygenation
19. tachycardia: Abnormally rapid HR >100bpm
20. Bradycardia: abnormally slow HR <60bpm
21. dysrhythmia: Abnormal heart rhythm/missed beats
22. normal respiration range: 12-20 breaths per minutedeep and regular
23. as you age you need breaths/min: less
24. factors affecting respiration: acute painexercise
anxiety smoking body positionmedications
neurological injurieshemoglobin function
25. factors affecting respiration: acute pain: pain may cause shallow breathinginhibits chest
wall movement with chest/abdominal pain
26. Healthy People 2020: -Attain high-quality, longer lives free of preventable dis-ease,
disability, injury, and premature death.
-Achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of all groups.
-Create social and physical environments that promote good health for all.
-Promote quality of life, healthy development, and healthy behaviors across all lifestages.
27. health beliefs: a person's ideas, convictions, and attitudes about health andillness
(individuals perception about susceptibility, serious of illness, and if they will takepreventative
action)
28. positive health behaviors: activities to maintain good health and prevent illness
29. negative health behaviors: practices potentially harmful to health
30. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: (level 1) Physiological Needs(level 2) Safety and Security
(level 3) Relationships, Love and Affection(level 4) Self Esteem
(level 5) Self Actualization
31. holistic health model: promote health by considering emotional, spiritual, andphysical
wellbeing.
32. internal variables that influence health beliefs and practices: developmentalintellectual
