Detailed Verified Answers
-pnea
⼀Answer:- Refers to breathing, respiration.
-thermo
⼀Answer:- Refers to heat.
Hyper-
⼀Answer:- Refers to over, above
Hypo-
⼀Answer:- Refers to under, below
Define hyperthermia
, Page | 2
⼀Answer:- Abnormally high body temperature, especially that is induced
for therapeutic purposes. When a patient's body temperature increases
above the normal body temperature range.
identify the causes of hyperthermia
⼀Answer:- Any event that increases cellular metabolism also increases
body temperature.
Define hypothermia
⼀Answer:- Low body temperature. When a patient's body temperature
falls below the normal body temperature range.
identify the causes of hypothermia
⼀Answer:- Can be caused by prolong exposure to cold environmental
temperatures, trauma to the hypothalamus, or medically induced.
Define tachypnea
⼀Answer:- Abnormal rapidity of breathing. Used to describe an increase
respiratory rates greater than 20 breaths/min in an adult patient.
identify the causes of tachypnea
, Page | 3
⼀Answer:- Exercise, fever, anxiety, pain, infection, heart failure, chest
trauma, decreased oxygen in the blood, and central nervous system
disease.
Define bradypnea
⼀Answer:- Abnormal slowness of breathing. Used to describe a decrease
in the respiratory rate.
identify the causes of bradypnea
⼀Answer:- Results from the depression of the respiratory center of the
brain and is most common with drug overdoses, head trauma and
hypothermia.
Define tachycardia
⼀Answer:- Rapidity of the heart action, usually defined as a heart rate
increase by more than 20 beats per minute (BPM) in a resting adult or a
heart rate greater than 100 BPM. Refers to an increase in heart rate.
identify the causes of tachycardia
, Page | 4
⼀Answer:- Can be caused by an increase in cellular demands for oxygen
such as: exercise, fever, anemia, respiratory disorders, congestive heart
failure, hypoxemia, and shock. Can be caused by an increase in stimulus
through the nervous system such as: pain, anger, fear, anxiety, and
medications.
Define bradycardia
⼀Answer:- Refers to a decrease in heart rate. The slowness of the
heartbeat as evidenced by slowing of the pulse rate to less than 60 beats
per minute (BPM).
identify the causes of bradycardia
⼀Answer:- Unrelieved sever pain, subsequent heart problems, and heart
failure.
Define hypertension
