NU650 Final Test
A clenched fist over the sternum suggests - ANS -angina pectoris
\A finger pointing to a tender area on the chest wall suggests - ANS -Musculoskeletal pain
\A hand moving from neck to epigastrium suggests - ANS -heartburn
\A lesion over ____ is abnormal - ANS -1 cm
\A silent chest may indicate - ANS -serious airflow obstruction or pneumothorax.
\ABCD2 score for TIA - ANS -age >60 yo
Blood pressure systolic >140 or diastolic >90
Clinical feature: unilateral weakness, speech disturbances without weakness
duration of symptoms: 10-60 min
diabetes
\ABCDEFG - ANS -Asymmetry
Border irregularity
Color variations
Diameter >6mm
Evolving/elevated
Firm to palpation
Growing progressively
Used to detect skin cancer/melanoma
\Abdominal dullness on percussion - ANS -spleen
liver
any mass or fluid
stool that might be backed up in constipation,
\Abduction - ANS -with palms down, bring fingers away from midline
\Abnormal JVP Measurement - ANS ->3 cm above sternal angle>8 cm above right atrium
\Absence of scapular winging when both arms are extended and pushed against a wall - ANS -normal
,\Achilles reflex - ANS -Foot plantar flexing against your hand is the normal response
\acute aortic dissection - ANS -may appear to be abdominal pain due to lower back pain; presents as a "tearing" pain
\Adduction - ANS -with palms down bring fingers toward midline
\Allis test - ANS -used to check for hip dislocation in infants by comparing leg lengths. Place on back on the table with feet
flat on the table and flex knees up. Looking for uneven/even height of knees.
\ankle eversion - ANS -bend heel outward
\ankle extension - ANS -point foot toward ceiling (plantar flexion)
\Ankle flexion - ANS -point your foot toward floor
\ankle inversion - ANS -bend heel inward
\antiresorptive agents example - ANS -Bisphosphonates
Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM)
Calcitonin
Postmenopausal estrogen
\Aortic valve sound location - ANS -2nd intercostal space, right sternal border
\AP to transverse diameter - ANS -normal: 1:2
barrel: 1:1
\Articular Disease typically involves - ANS -swelling and tenderness of the entire joint and limits passive and active range
of motion.
\Articular structures include: - ANS -joint capsule
articular cartilage
synovium
synovial fluid
intra-articular ligaments
juxta-articular bone
\Asymmetric involvement - ANS -psoriatic arthritis
reactive arthritis
IBD-associated arthritis
\At the mitral area of the anterior chest, S1 and S2 - ANS -S1>S2
\atrioventricular valves - ANS -mitral and tricuspid
, \Back pain off midline causes - ANS -Sacroiliitis, trochanteric bursitis, sciatica, hip arthritis, renal conditions
\Balloon sign - ANS -Place thumb and index finger of rt hand on each side of the knee, with Lt hand compress the
suprapatellar pouch against the femur
Large effusions compression ejects fluid into the spaces adjacent to the knee
A palpable wave indicates a positive "balloon sign"
\Barlow test - ANS -Test for a hip that is dislocatable but not dislocated in infants. With infant supine and hip and knees
flexed, push posteriorly in line with the shaft of femur. An unstable femoral head will dislocate posteriorly from acetabulum.
\Basal ganglia - ANS -bands of gray matter buried deep within the two cerebral hemisphere
form subcortical associated motor system which is your extrapyramidal system and they control the automatic associated
movements that occur such as your arms swinging when you are walking
\Bell of stethoscope is used for - ANS -Soft, low pitched sounds
extra heart sounds or murmurs
Use at apex, then medially along lower sternal border
\Best determinant of vitamin D status - ANS -25-hydroxyvitamin D
\Biceps reflex - ANS -flexion of elbow
\Blood originating in the stomach is usually ____ than blood from the respiratory tract, and may be mixed with food
particles - ANS -darker
\Blood pressure cuff size - ANS -Width of inflatable bladder should be about 40% of upper arm circumference
Length of inflatable bladder should be about 80% of upper arm circumference (almost long enough to encircle entire arm)
Standard cuff is 12x23 cm, arm circumferences up to 28 cm
\Brachioradialis reflex - ANS -flexion at forearm
\Brain stem - ANS -general term for the area of the brain that's between the thalamus and the spinal cord
Structures within the brain stem include the medulla, pons, and spinal cord and they're responsible for breathing, heart
rate, and blood pressure.
\Broca area - ANS -also responsible for speech but located in the frontal lobe and mediates speech
\bronchial sounds heard where? - ANS -sternal notch
Loud expiratory
expiratory last longer
