Kyphosis
Give this one a try later!
An increased thoracic spinal curve. More often seen in older adults.
Diastolic Blood Pressure
,Give this one a try later!
The lowest pressure that occurs when the left ventricle relaxes between
beats.
Mean Arterial Pressure
Give this one a try later!
Calculated by adding one third of the SBP and two thirds of the DPB.
Systolic Blood Pressure
Give this one a try later!
Maximum pressure exerted on the walls of the arteries with contraction on
the left ventricle at the beginning of the systole.
Health care-associated infection (HAI)
Give this one a try later!
an infection that was not present on admission to a health care institute and
develops during the course of treatment for other conditions (nosocomial)
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
,Give this one a try later!
Gloves, gowns, masks, and protective eye gear designed to minimize or
prevent the health care worker's exposure to infectious material
Auscultation
Give this one a try later!
Involves the use of a stethoscope to listen to movements of air or fluid over
the lungs, heart, or abdomen.
Tertiary prevention
Give this one a try later!
Focuses on preventing complications of an existing disease and promoting
health to the highest level. Diet teaching and exercise programs are
examples
Incubation period
Give this one a try later!
a. The interval between the pathogen's invasion of the body and the
appearance of symptoms of infection
b. During this stage, the organisms are growing and multiplying.
, Bradycardia
Give this one a try later!
A heart rate less than 60 beats per minute. Medications such as digoxin and
beta blockers can decrease the heart rate. Myocardial infarction,
hypothyroidism, increased intracranial pressure, and eye surgery can also
decrease heart rate.
Equal-Status Seating
Give this one a try later!
The nurse and the patients should both be comfortably seated at eye level.
Avoid standing that communicates haste and superiority.
Reflection
Give this one a try later!
Similar to restatement; however, instead of simply restating the patient's
comments, you summarize the main themes of communication.
Activities of Daily Living (ADL's)
