The endocardium is the inner layer of the heart. It
consists of epithelial tissue and connective tissue.
Function: Lines the inner cavities of the heart, covers
Endocardium heart valves and is continuous with the inner lining of
blood vessels.
Purkinje fibers are located in the endocardium. They
participate in the contraction of the heart muscle.
The blood volume ejected outside the ventricle after
each contraction. ~ The volume of the blood returning
Stroke Volume (Preload)
to the heart. ~ The force of the myocardium

The T Wave. ~ The first wave produced after the QRS
Complex. Has the following characteristics: The
Ventricular Repolarization
deflection produced by the ventricular repolarization.
It is slighty asymmetric. No more than 5 mm in height.
A localized collection of blood outside the blood
vessels, usually in liquid form within the tissue. An
Hematoma
ecchymosis, commonly called a bruise, is a hematoma
of the skin larger than 10mm.

Perfect Goals
A method of differentiating bacterial species into two
large groups (gram-positive and gram-negative).
Gram staining differentiates bacteria by the chemical
and physical properties of their cell walls by
Gram Stain
detecting peptidoglycan, which is present in a thick
layer in gram-positive bacteria. The Gram stain is
almost always the first step in the identification of a
bacterial organism.
Axillary Under the arm (armpit)
A laboratory diagnostic test to find a bacterial or
fungal infection in the throat. Sampling is performed
by throat swab, and the sample is put in a special cup
Throat culture (culture) that allows infections to grow. If an infection
grows, the culture is positive. The type of infection is
found using a microscope, chemical tests, or both. If
no infection grows, the culture is negative.
A tort, in common law jurisdictions, is a civil wrong[1]

harm resulting in legal liability for the person : Battery,
Invasion of privacy, defamation of character
Unwanted interference or jitter on the EKG recording.
Artifact This makes the EKG reading difficult or impossible, as
well as can lead to a misdiagnosis.

Located between the atria and ventricles. AV cusped
valves characteristics are: They have tough fibrous
AV (atriventricular) Valves rings, long and strong leaflets (cuspids), They are
accessory organs (like papillary muscles and chordae
tendinae)
Standard Precautions are the minimum infection
prevention practices that apply to all patient care,
regardless of suspected or confirmed infection status
of the patient, in any setting where healthcare is
delivered. Standard Precautions include: 1) hand
Standard Precautions
hygiene, 2) use of personal protective equipment
(e.g., gloves, gowns, masks), 3) safe injection practices,
4) safe handling of potentially contaminated
equipment or surfaces in the patient environment, and
5) respiratory hygiene/cough etiquette.
Generally has an inhibitory effect via the
neurotransmitter Acetylcholine which may cause the
following to happen:
Parasympathetic (Vagus
*Slows down pacemaker and HR
Nerve)
*Slows the conduction of electricity in AV node
*Decreases the strength of atrial and ventricular
contraction.
This consists of links, each of which is necessary for
the infectious disease to spread. Infection control is
based on the fact that the transmission of infectious
diseases will be prevented or stopped when any level

Involves procedures and practices that reduce the
number and transfer of pathogens. For example,
Medical Asepsis performing hand hygiene and wearing gloves,
nothing on floor, clean from least soiled to most
soiled.
Enteric gram-negative bacteria that are always nitrite
positive can convert urinary nitrate to nitrite. A
Urinary Bacteria
positive nitrite test is an indication that a significant
number of bacteria are present in the urine.
This test is ordered for infants to detect
phenylketonuria, a genetic disease that causes mental
PKU
retardation and brain damage. Test is done on blood
from newborn's heel or in urine.
Each request for blood withdrawl must include
accessioning order, number for paper work, and
supplies and patients identification. The blood request
forms should include the following:
Patient's name and age from ID plate or wristband,
Accessioning Order Identification number, date & time the specimen is
obtained, name or initials of person who obtains
specimen, accessioning number, Physician's name,
department for which which work is being done, other
useful info (special comments, unusual sampling site,
drawn near Iv site...)
antibodies produced in response to atypical
