ACCURATE ILLUSTRATIONS; NEWLY UPDATED
• WHAT ARE THE Indications FOR AN ET TUBE?: - correct answer- 1.
Need for mechanical ventilation or oxygen delivery because of
inadequate ventilation, inadequate arterial oxygenation, severe airway
obstruction, shock, and parenchymal diseases that impair gas exchange.
2. Upper-airway obstruction
3. Impending gastric acid reflux or aspiration (aspiration = goes into your
lungs)
4. Provisions for tracheobronchial lavage
Apical pulses: - correct answer- Pulse rates obtained from placing a
stethoscope over the heart and counting each heartbeat to measure the
pulse rate.
Apnea: - correct answer- Not breathing.
Used to describe the absence of spontaneous ventilation.
Are positioning sponges radiolucent or radiopaque? - correct answer-
radiolucent
Are traction splints radiopaque or radiolucent? - correct answer-
radiopaque material on the sides
,At what level are patients on Maslow's Hierarchy of needs? - correct
answer- The first level, their basic needs.
Atelectasis: - correct answer- A condition in which the airways or the
air sacs in the lung partially or completely collapse or do not expand
properly. (a lack of air that leads to a collapse of a lung)
Auscultation: - correct answer- Listening to the sounds of the body,
typically through the use of a stethoscope.
Define arrhythmia (of the heart) - correct answer- Heart rhythm
problems (heart arrhythmias) occur when the electrical impulses that
coordinate your heartbeats don't work properly, causing your heart to
beat too fast, too slow or irregularly.
Define ASSIMILATION: - correct answer- Assimilation refers to the
process through which individuals and groups of differing heritages
acquire the basic habits, attitudes, and mode of life of an embracing
culture.
Define BICULTURALISM: - correct answer- The presence of two
different cultures in the same country or region
,Define bradycardia - correct 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).
Define bradypnea - correct answer- Abnormal slowness of
breathing. Used to describe a decrease in the respiratory rate.
DEFINE CENTER OF GRAVITY: - correct answer- A hypothetical point
at which our mass appears to be center. Typically located at S2.
Define CULTURAL COMPETENCY: - correct answer- Cultural
competence is defined as a set of values, behaviors, attitudes, and
practices within a system, organization, program or among individuals
and which enables them to work effectively cross culturally.
Define ETHNOCENTRISM - correct answer- the attitude that one's
own group, ethnicity, or nationality is superior to others
Define human diversity (cultural diversity) - correct answer- the
existence of a variety of cultural groups within a society.
Define hypertension - correct answer- Persistently high arterial
blood pressure. Usually identified as a blood pressure that is persistently
greater than 140/99 mm Hg.
, -Hypertension is categorized into three different stages:
1. Prehypertension, 2. Stage 1 hypertension, and 3. Stage 2
hypertension.
Define hyperthermia - correct 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.
Define hypotension - correct answer- Abnormally low blood
pressure, seen in shock but not necessarily indicative of shock. Usually
identified as a blood pressure of less than 90/60 mm Hg.
- Hypotension is generally desirable as long as it does not produce
symptoms
Define hypothermia - correct answer- Low body temperature. When
a patient's body temperature falls below the normal body temperature
range.
Define immobilization: - correct answer- act of rendering
immovable.
Define normal rhythm (of the heart) - correct answer- Normal sinus
rhythm is defined as the rhythm of a healthy heart. It means the
electrical impulse from your sinus node is being properly transmitted. In
