Respiration: inhalation & Exhalation. What is respiratory rate?
Give this one a try later!
Inhalation - expansion of lungs; diaphragm contracts & pulls down=> air
moves into lungs
•Active: 1 to 1.5 seconds
•
Exhalation - diaphragm & inter-costal muscles relax => air is expelled
•Passive: takes 2/3 seconds
•
1 Breath = 1 inhalation and 1 exhalation
Respiratory Rate = Number breaths/minute

, •Vasodilation; sweating
Assessment of pulse: define: palpation and auscultation

•Palpation - feel
•Peripheral pulses
•Auscultation - listen with stethoscope
•Apical pulse
orthostatic hypotension (postural hypotension)
Give this one a try later!
•AKA: Postural Hypotension
•How to Measure:
•Client supine: Take BP & HR
•Client siting up/standing for approx. 2-3 min: Retake
•Normal Results:
•SBP doesn't vary by > 20 points
•DBP doesn't vary by > 10 points
•Why?
•Assess for hypovolemia and/or dizziness/syncope
What are the pulse access points?

, •Radial
•Pedal
•Dorsalis pedis
•Posterior tibial
•Brachial
•Palpate when measuring BP
•Carotid
•Popliteal
•Femoral
Pulse character: rate

# Beats per minute (BPM) palpated or auscultated
Norm: 60-100 bpm
•Bradycardia? Tachycardia?
Define blood pressure
Give this one a try later!
Blood pressure-
the amount of force exerted by the blood on the peripheral arterial walls
(the difference between systolic and diastolic)
Systolic - diastolic
Should be no more than 1/3 of systolic
Sites for measuring true core temperature. What is the GOLD Standard?
