nur 1020 exam 1 ACTUAL UPDATED
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
what is the acceptable temp range for adults? - correct answers✅✅96.8-100.4 f
36-38c
name the temperature sites - correct answers✅✅oral
rectal
axillary
tympanic membrane
temporal artery
esophageal
pulmonary artery
body temp= - correct answers✅✅heat produced - heat lost
thermoregulation is regulated by which 6 mechanisms? - correct answers✅✅neural and
vascular control
heat production
heat loss
skin temp regulation
behavioral control
thermoregulation
________________ controls heat loss - correct answers✅✅anterior hypothalamus
______________ controls heat production - correct answers✅✅posterior hypothalamus
heat loss occurs through the processes of: - correct answers✅✅radiation- transfer of heat
from the surface of one object to the surface of another with out direct contact- to promote-
remove clothing or blankets (gym becomes hotter with more ppl)
, conduction- transfer of heat from one object to another with direct contact- ice pack
convection- transfer of heat away by air movement- fan
evaporation- transfer of heat energy when a liquid is changed to a gas- diaphoresis
____________ is an elevated body temp resulting from the body's inability to promote heat
loss or reduce heat production - correct answers✅✅hyperthermia
a hereditary condition of uncontrolled heat production that occurs when susceptible people
receive certain anesthetic drugs - correct answers✅✅malignant hyperthermia
heat stroke temp - correct answers✅✅104
signs and symptoms include giddiness, confusion, delirium, excessive thirst, nausea, muscle
cramps, visual disturbances, elevated body temperature, increased heart rate, and lower blood
pressure.
heat exhaustion - correct answers✅✅occurs when profuse diaphoresis results in water and
electrolyte loss
hypothermia - correct answers✅✅hypothermia occurs with exposure to cold. the core body
temperature drops, and the body is unable to compensate.
frostbite - correct answers✅✅occurs when the body is exposed to subnormal temperatures.
ice crystals form inside the cell, and permanent circulatory and tissue damage occurs
what are the patterns of a fever? - correct answers✅✅sustained- constant temp > 100.4 with
little fluctuation
intermittent- fever spikes with returns to norm temp levels- at least once in 24 hr
remittent- fever spikes and falls but not returning to normal temp levels
relapsing- periods of febrile episodes and periods of normal temp- longer than 24 hrs
diagnosis for patients with body temp alterations - correct answers✅✅risk for imbalanced
body temp
hyperthermia
