Second Level priority Answer - may become life-threatening without prompt
action
Third Level Priority Answer - Functional health, client education, should be
addressed but not urgent
Ex. increased stress levels
Factors influencing BP Answer - Cardiac output
Peripheral Vascular Resistance
Volume of circulatroy resistance
Viscosity of Blood
Elasticity of vessel walls
Bradycardia Answer - heart rate drops below 60bpm
newborn = < 100bpm
Tachycardia Answer - Heart rate increases > 100bpm
Normal adult SV Answer - 30-70mL
, Normal Newborn SV Answer - 5mL
Sinus Arrhythmia Answer - irregular pulse rhythm --> HR increases on inhale
and decreases back to normal rate on exhale
- increases to compensate for decreased in stroke volume
- Normal in newborns/toddlers
Hypotension Answer - low BP < 95/60mm Hg
Symptoms: lightheadedness, loss of consciousness, blurry vision
Hypertension Answer - Chronic elevated BP, 140/90mm Hg or higher
Automatic BP > 135/85mm Hg
Manual BP > 140/90mm Hg
- Can lead to heart attack, stroke, aneurysm, Peripheral arterial disease, chronic
kidney disease or heart failure
Acute Pain Answer - Short, limited in duration, caused by something specific
Chronic Pain Answer - Pain that continues to occur & recurs for 3months or
more
Secondary = pain that manifests as a result of a disease or condition
Primary = based on a condition that is often poorly understood & cannot be
accounted for by another cause
Nociceptive Pain Answer - noxious stimulus that activates nociceptors
w/potential to cause non-neural tissue injury
Ex. stubbing toe, touching a hot surface, exposure to bleach
