CCFP Final Exam Study Guide with
Complete Solutions
Abdominal assessment
With abdominal pain - ANSWER-Start with least pain go to most
Inspect
· Auscultate
· Percuss
· Palpate
Abdominal assessment without pain - ANSWER-Without abdominal pain
· Inspect
o Note quality and frequency of sounds
o Auscultation before percussion and palpation
Describe Boyles gas law - ANSWER-Pg 27
o Volume is inversely proportional to pressure
,o Volume and pressure
Boyles Balloon
Describe Daltons Law - ANSWER-Pg 28
o In a mixture of non-reacting gasses, the total pressure is equal to the sum
of the partial pressures of the gasses
o Total pressure=partial pressure of all gasses combined
"Daltons Pie"
Describe Charles Law - ANSWER-Pg 28
o temperature directly proportional to volume
o temperature = volume
o Colder temps= RW fly's better due to denser air
Describe Henry's Law - ANSWER-Pg 28
Henry's Fizzy Soda
,At a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas that dissolves in a
given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure
of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid
Describe anaphylaxis - ANSWER-acute systemic allergic reaction that results
from the release of chemical mediators after an antigen antibody reaction
S/S: Increased HR, decreased BP, warm/hot flushed skin,
bronchoconstriction, laryngeal edema, angioedema, airway compromise
Describe cardiogenic shock - ANSWER-Hypotension caused by cardiac
failures that causes a failure of perfusion of the vital organs.
Mi with LV failure is the most common cause.
o Low BP, AMS, low urine output=classic signs.
o Reduced CI (<1.8Lmin/m2 without <3 support), (<2.2Lmin/m2 with <3
support) SBP 80-90 for >30min, MAP 30mmHg below baseline or less than
65, AMS, low SBP, cool, pale, diaphoretic, tachypnea
, Describe Obstructive shock - ANSWER-Obstruction to cardiovascular flow
resulting in impaired diastolic filling or significantly increase in after load.
Describe Gay-Lussac's Law. - ANSWER-The pressure of a gas is directly
proportional to the temperature
Volume remains constant
Altitude increase= Temp Decrease
What organs are in the retroperitoneal space? - ANSWER-· Kidneys
· Adrenal glands
· Pancreas
· Nerve roots
· Lymph nodes
· Abdominal aorta
· IVC
