Cranial Nerves
12 pairs of nerves that carry messages to and from the brain
Pulmonary System Assessment - Normal
clear to auscultation
Pulmonary System Assessment - Abnormal Findings
● Chest pain
● Shortness of breath (dyspnea)
● Wheezing
● Cough
● Blood-streaked sputum (hemoptysis)
● Daytime sleepiness or snoring and disordered sleep
Pulmonary Embolism
Sudden occlusion of part of pulmonary arterial tree by a blood
clot that usually originates in deep veins of legs or pelvis
Venous Insufficiency
inadequacy of the venous valves and impairment of venous
return from the lower limbs (venous stasis), often with edema
and sometimes with skin ulcers (particularly at the ankles)
