tympanic, rectal, axillary, & temporal




What Are the Common Causes Of Bradycardia? - (answer)long-term physical

fitness, hypothermia, medication changes, positions from standing or sitting to

lying down, chronic severe pain, hyperthyroidism, and relaxation




What Temperature Indicates Death? - (answer)<95F (93.2)




What Is Tachycardia? - (answer)A pulse rate greater than the expected reference

range or greater than 100 bpm

,What types of sounds are best heard with the diaphragm of a stethoscope? -

(answer)High-pitched sounds like bowel sounds, crackles in the lungs, and the

splitting of S2 heart sound.




How would FLARED NOSTRIL WITH RETRACTION Be Documented? -

(answer)Signs of labored breathing or respiratory distress




What are the proper steps for assessing the radial pulse? - (answer)wash hands,

locate radial pups between wrist and tendon palate assess rate, rhythm & strength




Which part of the brain regulates body temperature? - (answer)Hypothalamus




The pulse is caused by the contraction of which part of the heart? - (answer)The

pulse is caused by the contraction of the left ventricle of the heart.




How do you properly position the ear when taking a tympanic temperature on a 4-

year-old child? - (answer)Pull the ear up and back

,Which parts of the brain control respiration? - (answer)Medulla Oblongata & Pons




What are the correct steps and considerations for assessing radial and other

peripheral pulses, including when to assess the apical pulse? - (answer)Perform

hand hygiene and provide privacy. Locate the radial pulse on the radial- or thumb-

side of the forearm at the wrist. Place the index and middle finger of one hand

gently but firmly over the pulse. Assess the pulsation for rate, rhythm, amplitude,

and quality. If the peripheral pulsation is regular, count the rate for 30 sec and

multiply by 2. If the pulsation is irregular, count for a full minute and compare the

result to the apical pulse rate. Measure the temporal, carotid, brachial, femoral,

popliteal, posterior tibial, or dorsal pedal pulses using the same technique. Locate

the apical pulse at the fifth intercostal space at the left midclavicular line. Use this

site for assessing the heart rate of an infant, checking a heart rate prior to the

administration of cardiac medications, or to validate the precise rate when a rapid

(greater than 100/min) or irregular pulse is detected. Place the diaphragm of a

stethoscope on the chest at the fifth intercostal space at the left midclavicular line.

If the rhythm is regular, count for 30 sec and multiply by 2. If the rhythm is

irregular or the client is receiving cardiovascular medications, count for 1 full min

, If a patient has no accessible arms, how should blood pressure be assessed? -

(answer)The thigh should be use to take blood pressure with a special cuff for the

thigh or an appropriate size to fit

blood pressure assessment? - (answer)1. Preparation

Have the patient rest quietly for 5 minutes before assessment.

Ensure no caffeine, exercise, or smoking within 30 minutes.

Seat the patient with:

Back supported

Feet flat on the floor

Arm supported at heart level

2. Equipment

Use a properly sized cuff:

Width = 40% of arm circumference

Length = 80% of arm circumference
