ass". Verbal ||
Battery - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔"I beat you with a
|| || || || || || || ||
bat" physical ||
Medial - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔Towards inner core
|| || || || ||
Lateral - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔Away from sides
|| || || || ||
Anterior - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔Front || || ||
Posterior - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔Back || || ||
,Proximal - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔Towards core, or
|| || || || || ||
specific site ||
Distal - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔Away from core, or
|| || || || || || ||
specific site ||
Basic tenets of HIPAA and pt privacy - CORRECT
|| || || || || || || || ||
ANSWER(S)✔✔There is nothing you can't tell forward || || || || || || ||
lines of caregivers. i.e. the RN you are turning pt care
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
over to. ||
Mechanics for breathing and muscles used - CORRECT || || || || || || || ||
ANSWER(S)✔✔Lung expansion - pleura: two thin, || || || || || ||
smooth layers of tissue with thin film of fluid in between
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
allow frictionless movement across one another.
|| || || || || ||
Inhalation: Chest expands, creates negative pressure in || || || || || || ||
thoracic cavity, parietal pleura pulls the visceral, which
|| || || || || || || ||
pull the lungs.
|| || ||
Exhalation: Diagphragm/intercostals relax, thoracic cage || || || ||
contracts, pressure in cavity rises, air is expelled.
|| || || || || || || || ||
Normally passive. No energy required. Exhaled air
|| || || || || || ||
contains 16% o2. || || ||
Diaphragm: primary muscle for respiration. Usually || || || || || ||
involuntary but can be controlled voluntarily. Esophagus || || || || || || ||
and great vessels pass through the diaphragm. Dome
|| || || || || || || ||
,shaped until contraction during inhalation; moves down
|| || || || || || ||
and expands the size of the thoracic cavity.
|| || || || || || || ||
Intercostal muscles. ||
Alveoli - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔All airway structures
|| || || || || ||
serve to get air to this point. Only place where o2 and
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
co2 are exchanged. Contact w/ pulmonary capillaries.
|| || || || || || ||
Pulmonary capillaries diffuse cabon dioxide from the || || || || || || ||
body to the alveoli. Alveloi diffuse o2 from respiratory
|| || || || || || || || ||
system to the body. Surfactant is: a substance that helps
|| || || || || || || || || ||
keep the alveoli from collapsing.
|| || || ||
What each number in BP represent - CORRECT
|| || || || || || || ||
ANSWER(S)✔✔Systolic: the pressure exerted during || || || || ||
contracted of the left ventricle. || || || || ||
Diastolic: the pressure between contractions. The resting
|| || || || || ||
phase. This is constant.
|| || || ||
Characteristics and differences of types of muscle tissue || || || || || || ||
- CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔Smooth: involuntary located
|| || || || || ||
within the blood vessels and digestive tract.
|| || || || || || ||
Skeletal: voluntary that attaches to the skeleton. || || || || || || ||
Cardiac: heart ||
Diaphragm and intercostals are involuntary but are can || || || || || || || ||
also be voluntary.
|| ||
, Locations/function of liver - CORRECT || || || || ||
ANSWER(S)✔✔Think filter. Remember antifreeze OD and || || || || ||
whiskey. RUQ. Helps break down fats, filters toxins,
|| || || || || || || || ||
prodcues cholesterol.
||
Location/function of spleen - CORRECT || || || || ||
ANSWER(S)✔✔LUQ. Filters the blood and helps repair || || || || || || ||
damaged blood platelets.
|| ||
Location/function of pancreas - CORRECT || || || || ||
ANSWER(S)✔✔Aids in digestion, produces insulin, helps || || || || || ||
regulate CBG levels. Epigastric region.
|| || || ||
Location/function of esophagus - CORRECT || || || || ||
ANSWER(S)✔✔Collapsible structure running from mouth || || || ||
to stomach. Posterior to the trachea.
|| || || || || ||
Location/function of stomach - CORRECT || || || || ||
ANSWER(S)✔✔Hollow LUQ. Receives food, begins || || || || ||
breaking it down, sends it to small intestine.
|| || || || || || ||
Location/function of small intestine - CORRECT || || || || || ||
ANSWER(S)✔✔Hollow, both lower quadrants. Food from || || || || || ||
stomach is mixed w/ digestive enzymes to digest fat.
