Indirect auscultatory method - ANSWER-Uses a stethoscope and a sphygmomanometer. Using auscultatory method to measure BP - ANSWER-1. A cuff is placed around the upper arm and is inflated to a point at which its pressure exceeds that of the artery. 2. Inflate the pressure in the cuff to a level of 30 mm Hg above the palpated pressure to avoid missing the auscultatory gap. 3. Cuff is slowly deflated at 2 mm Hg per second. 4. Blood shoots past the partially obstructed artery when pressure in...

After talking w/ the HCP, a male pt continues to have questions about the results of a prostatic surface antigen (PSA) screening test and asks the nurse how the PSA levels become elevated. The nurse should explain which pathophysiological mechanism? As the prostate gland enlarges, its cells contribute more PSA in the circulating blood PSA is a glycoprotein found in prostatic epithelial cells, and elevations are used as a specific tumor markers. Elevations in PSA are r/t gland volume, ie. ben...
