• Immunizations
• CDC guidelines
• Young children
• Older children
• Adults
Cardiac Assessment CH 13 & 15 - Standridge 10/10
• Arteries
• Carry freshly oxygenated blood
• High pressure — thick, elastic walls
• Pulse — all arteries have pressure wave - can only be felt where artery is close to skin & over
bone
• Temporal, carotid, brachial, radial, femoral, popliteal, posterior tibial, dorsalis pedis
• Grading
• 0
• 1+
• 2+
• 3+
• 4+
• Ischemia
• Deficient supply of oxygenated arterial blood to tissue (causing pain & dysfunction)
• Caused by obstruction of vessel
• Necrosis —death to tissue from lack of oxygen, irreversible
• Veins
• Parallel to arteries but closer to skin
• Drain deoxygenated blood & waste products from tissue & return it to RIGHT heart via VENA CAVA
• No pulse
• Blood moves by skeletal muscle contraction, inspiration, intraluminal valves (TCDB post op)
• Lymphatic system
• Protects & maintains internal fluid environment of the body
• Drain excess fluid & plasma proteins from tissue & returns it to blood stream
preventing edema
• Assists in immunity - lymphocytes produce antibodies
• Absorbs lipids from the intestinal tract into blood
• Aids to lymphatic system
• Spleen
• Tonsils
• Thymus gland
• Peyer’s patches
• Bone marrow
• Capillaries & fluid exchange
• Capillaries — connection between arterioles & venues
• Blood pressure (hyrdrostatic pressure) interstitial fluid/in capillaries —> tissues (releases O2, H2O & nutrients whole
picking up CO2)
• Osmotic pressure —> fluid reenters the capillaries maintaining fluid balance
• Review of systems
• Health Hx
• Past medical HX
• Family HX
• Psychosocial HX
• Medications
• Current health status
• Pain/tingling or numbness
• Edema or swelling
• Erectile dysfunction

N 112 Exam 4 10/31/2022
• Lymph node enlargement
• Skin change of extremities
• Inspection & palpation of CV system
• Overall view of skin color, hair distribution, edema, abnormal pulsations
• Gauge capillary filling time (w/in 3 sec)
• Palpate pulses for normal, bounding, thready or absent (0-3+)
• Thrill?
• Homan’s sign?
• Raynaud’s Syndrome
• Intermittent ischemic attacks of extremities (fingers, toes, ears & nose)
• Bilateral response to cold, vibration or stress (emotional stimuli)
• 1st white - arteriospasm
• 2nd blue - cyanosis as spasm response
• 3rd red - return of blood to capillaries
• May have numbness, tingling, pain, color & sensation restored w/ heat
• Leg inspection
• Both should be symmetrical w/o swelling or atrophy
• May need to measure calf muscle @ largest point for both legs
• Unilateral swelling = local problem - may be DVT
• Asymmetry of calves > 1 cm = abnormal
• Inspect & palpate
• Leg pain or cramps
• Claudication (limping) cramping w/ activity, distance- # of block/stairs that produces pain
• Edema — bilateral w/ CHF (systemic) unilateral w/ local obstruction or inflammation
• Skin color changes
• Brown discoloration occurs w/ chronic venous stasis due to hemosiderin deposits
• Venous stasis ulcers occur around medial malleous
• Arterial deficit triggers ulcers on tips of toes & may trigger unilateral cool feet or leg
• Palpate
• Homan’s sign — calf pain with dorsiflexion - may be due to DVT — don’t squeeze calf
• Palpate & grade the pulses
• Pitting edema — bilateral occurs w/ CHF, diabetic neuropathy, hepatic cirrhosis
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Deep vein occluded by thrombus/clot
• Sudden onset, pain w/ dorsiflexion
• Positive Homan’s sign — accurate < ⅓ of time
• Risk for PE
• Lymphedema
• Damage or removal of lymph nodes impeded drainage of lymph
• Unilateral swelling, non pitting
• Aneurysm
• Usually caused by atherosclerosis which weakens lining the vessel
• Aorta — most common site
• Effects of BP causes ballooning of vessel
• More common in male & women over 70 & men over 55
• Landmarks to know
• Clavicle (MCL)
• Sternum (MSL)
• Axillary (AAL)
• Manubriosternal Angle (angle of Louis)
• Intercostal spaces (ICS)
