1. Aphasias language disorders caused by damage to the brain structures that support using
and understanding language

resistance to left ventricular ejection
3. ascites bulges in the flanks and across the abdomen indicating edema caused by CHF

sponse
5. blood pressure force of blood against arterial walls
6. Borborygmi loud, gurgling bowel sounds signaling increased motility or hyperperistalsis; oc-
curs with early bowel obstruction, gastroenteritis, diarrhea
7. Bradycardia slow heart rate
8. Bronchophony abnormal clarity of patient's transmitted voice sounds.
9. bradypnea slow breathing
10. Broselow tape a measuring tape for infants that provides important information regarding airway
equipment and medication doses based on your patient's length.
11. Bruit sound of turbulent blood flow around a partial obstruction
12. cardiac output the amount of blood the heart ejects each minute, measured in milliliters
13. crackles light crackling popping nonmusical sounds heard usually during inspiration; also
called rales

discoloration around the umbilicus (occasionally the flanks) suggestive of intraab-
dominal hemorrhage
16. Diastole Phase of the cardiac cycle when a heart chamber wall relaxes
17. diastolic blood Pressure in the arteries when the heart relaxes and ventricles fill with blood
pressure
18. Dysarthria the inability to use speech that is distinct and connected because of a loss of muscle
control after damage to the peripheral or central nervous system
19. dysphonia difficulty producing speech sounds, usually due to hoarseness
20. edema The presence of abnormally large amounts of fluid between cells in body tissues,
causing swelling of the affected area.
21. egophony abnormal change in tone of patient's transmitted voice sounds.
22. Grey Turner's discoloration over the flanks suggesting intra-abdominal bleeding.
sign
23. Hypertension high blood pressure
24. Hyperthermia high body temperature
25. hypotension abnormally low blood pressure
26. Hypothermia abnormally low body temperature
27. inspection general observation of the patient as a whole, progressing to specific body areas
28. Korotkoff sounds sounds heard during the measurement of blood pressure that are used to de-
termine the systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings... the sound of blood
hitting the arterial walls
