Q2: Hypertension Stage 1
Answer: 140-159/90-99mmHg
Q3: Hypertension Stage 2
Answer: >160/>100mmHg Red Flag refer out
Q4: Pressure exerted on arterial walls during ventricular contraction -consumes 1/3 of cardiac cycle
Answer: Systolic Pressure
Q5: In terms of valves what is the pressure difference during systole
Answer: ventricular pressure> Arterial Pressure AV valves are CLOSED Blood fills pulmonic and systemic
arteries opens during pumping of aortic valves
Q6: Pressure against arterial walls during ventricular relaxation consumes 2/3 of cardiac cycle
Answer: Diastolic pressure
Q7: In terms of valves what is the pressure difference during diastole
Answer: Arterial pressure> Ventricular Pressure Ventricle fills with blood during this time period Both
AV valves (bicuspid/tricuspid) are OPEN
Q8: Normal Pulse Range
Answer: 60-100 BPM
Q9: Average Pulse
Answer: 74-76 BPM
Q10: +3 Full and Bounding +2 Normal +1 Weak and Thready 0 Absent = Suggests arterial occlusion
Answer: Pulse Amplitude
,Q11: Respiratory Rate
Answer: 10-20 Cycles/minute
Q12: Pulse: Respiratory Ratio
Answer: 4:1 Normal
Q13: How to measure Height
Answer: 1.) Lift Pole
Q14: Remove shoes Zero scale Ask what patients recent weight was and if they have experienced a
major change patient steps onto scale
Answer: Measuring Weight
Q15: Temperature Range
Answer: 96.4-99.1 degrees average is 98.6 degrees
Q16: Separates the external and internal middle ear Protected by cerumen that is secreted to lubricate
the canal
Answer: Tympanic Membrane
Q17: Protects the Tympanic Membrane by equalizing pressure on both sides because it has the ability
to allow air passage from the nasopharynx
Answer: Eustachian Tubes
Q18: What nerve sends vibratory information generated by the organ of corti to the cerebral cortex?
Answer: CN VIII
Q19: 512 Hz Tuning fork close eyes place on top of head (glabella) Ask if sound is heard equally in both
ears sound lateralizes to side of obstruction
Answer: Webers Test
, Q20: 512 Hz Tuning fork place on mastoid when they cant hear it move to side of ear air to bone
conduction should be 2:1 do bilaterally
Answer: Rinnes Test
Q21: Test= air conduction> bone conduction + Test= bone conduction> air conduction ( conductive
hearing loss) Decreased air conduction=conduction deafness decreased air/bone conduction= nerve
deafness
Answer: Rinne's Test results
Q22: stand 20 feet away provide a square of paper to cover eye ask about glasses or contacts and
report it read lowest line thats comfortable if patient misses 3 go to line above do color test and repeat
with both eyes
Answer: Snellen Eye Chart
