Palpation of radial pulse - (ANSWERS)Palpate both pulses noting the rate, rhythm,!@#$$$$$$$$$$%
elasticity of
vessel wall and equal force
Grading pulse - (ANSWERS)3+ full bounding
2+ normal
1+ weak
0 absent
Brachial pulse - (ANSWERS)palpate this pulse if you suspect arterial insufficiency
Modified Allen's test - (ANSWERS)tests for ulnar arterial insufficiency by occluding both the
radial and ulnar artery
Normal results: normal color of hand should reappear approximately 2-5 seconds
Abnormal results: pallor persists or a sluggish return to color suggest occlusion of the collateral
arterial flow
Temporal artery - (ANSWERS)palpated in front of the ear
Carotid artery - (ANSWERS)palpated in the groove b/t the sternomastoid muscle and the
trachea
Brachial artery - (ANSWERS)major artery supplying the arm
Radial artery - (ANSWERS)lies medial to the radius and wrist supplies blood to the hand
Ulnar artery - (ANSWERS)lies lateral to the ulna. Deeper and often difficult to feel. Supplies
blood to the hand
Femoral artery - (ANSWERS)major artery in the leg. Palpated in the inguinal area
Popliteal artery - (ANSWERS)artery in the knee. Located posterior to the patella. Divides into
the anterior and posterial tibial artery
Anterior tibial - (ANSWERS)travels down the front of the leg on to the dorsal of the foot becomes
the dorsalis pedis.
Carries blood to the anterior compartment of the leg and dorsal surface of the foot
Posterior tibial - (ANSWERS)travels down behind the medial malleolus and forms the plantar
arteries in the foot.

!@#$$$$$$$$$$%
Dorsalis pedis - (ANSWERS)a blood vessel of the lower limb that carries oxygenated blood to
the dorsal surface of the foot
Claudication distance - (ANSWERS)the number of blocks walked or stairs climbed to produce
pain
Arterial claudication - (ANSWERS)pain in the calf, thigh or hip or muscle fatigue that occurs
when walking a certain distance related to peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
Peripheral perfusion - (ANSWERS)checking for capillary refill by blanching the nail beds and
noting the time for color return
Normal is less than 1-2 seconds
Doppler - (ANSWERS)used if pulses are too weak to detect by palpation, monitor blood
pressure in infants or children, measure low blood pressure or blood pressure in the lower
extremities
A noninvasive test using sound waves to detect blood flow through blood vessels
Ex. Competent valves (varicosities)
Edema - (ANSWERS)fluid build up in the interstitial space
PVD - (ANSWERS)circulation disorder in which narrowed blood vessels reduce blood flow to
the limbs. Caused by arteriosclerosis (hardening of arteries caused by plaque build up)
Inspect skin for ulcers, temperature and color
Lymphedema - (ANSWERS)swelling in the arms or legs caused by a blockage of the lymphatic
system , causes a build up of lymph fluid in tissues
Intermittent claudication - (ANSWERS)a condition in which cramping pain in the leg is induced
by exercise, typically caused by obstruction of the arteries
5 P's - (ANSWERS)Pain
Pulselessness
Pallor
Parasthesia (can't feel)
Paralysis (can't move)
