How is control over the extracellular concentration of potassium within the human body is exerted -
aldosterone.
phlebitis - vein inflammation
Palpation - an examination technique in which the examiner's hands are used to feel the texture,
size, consistency, and location of certain body parts
percussion - tapping on a surface to determine the difference in the density of the underlying
structure
Piece of equipment is used to perform the Weber test and Rinne test - Tuning Fork
Weber's test and Rinne's test are performed in order to assess - Sound Conduction (deafness)
When assessing a "PT" eye, which instrument would the nurse use to visualize the retina -
Ophtalmoscope
ophtalmoscope - instrument for examining the interior of the eye, especially the retina
percutaneous - through the skin
The nurse performs a comprehensive assessment of a newly admitted client. What is the primary
purpose of this admission assessment - Identify baseline data
Comprehensive assessment - The comprehensive assessment is conducted when a client first
enters the health care setting to obtain baseline information that can be used for comparison to later
assessments.
When assessing the glossopharyngeal nerve, it is most important for the nurse to implement which
intervention - The clients ability to swallow
cranial nerves - 12 pairs of nerves that carry messages to and from the brain
Cranial Nerve 1 - Olfactory (smell)
Cranial Nerve 2 - Optic - vision
,Cranial Nerve 3 - Oculomotor (eye movement)
Cranial Nerve 4 - Trochlear (eye movement)
Cranial Nerve 5 - Trigeminal
Cranial Nerve 6 - Abducens (motor)
Cranial Nerve 7 - facial nerve
Cranial Nerve 8 - Vestibulocochlear
Cranial Nerve 9 - Glossopharyngeal
Cranial Nerve 10 - Vagus
Cranial Nerve 11 - Accessory (motor)
Cranial Nerve 12 - Hypoglossal (tongue movement)
popping sounds heard on auscultation of the lungs - crackles
Hepatitis - inflammation of the liver
Hepatitus B Virus - Virus caused by contact with bodily fluids and can cause scarring of the liver,
liver failure, cancer, or death.
, Assessment - Before the nurse can determine what care a person requires, the nurse must
determine the client's needs and problems. This requires the use of assessment skills and data
collection, which include interviewing, observing, and examining the client, and in some cases, the
client's family. Following the assessment, the nurse can also use the client's medical record and contact
other healthcare providers.
When using an interpreter - The nurse should observe the cues the client expresses with body
language, and listen to the tone of voice.
Tugor - skins elasticity; poor elasticity seen when skin remains pinched (slowly unfolds) sign of
dehydration
Chlorhexidine - an antibacterial compound with substantial residual activity that is used as a liquid
antiseptic and disinfectant
arterial blood pressure - Arterial blood pressure (ABP), a basic hemodynamic index, is often used
to guide therapeutic interventions in critically ill patients
peripheral venous catheter - a peripheral venous catheter, peripheral venous line or peripheral
venous access catheter is a catheter placed into a peripheral vein for intravenous therapy such as
medication fluids. Upon insertion, the line can be used to draw blood
Hypoxia - deficiency in the amount of oxygen reaching the tissues
Auscultation - to listen
Edema happens when there is which fluid volume imbalance? - extracellular fluid volume excess
Anemia - a deficiency of red blood cells
pallor - Extreme or unnatural paleness
