hyperpyrexia correct answers 105.8
hypothermia correct answers below 96.7
core temperature correct answers -in the head, chest, abd and hypothalamus of the brain
-surface temperature is in the skin and can be changed by environment
factors that affect temperature - time of day correct answers -body temperature is 1.0 to 2.0 F
lower in the early morning
-peak elevation of a temperature occurs between 4 and 8 pm
factors that affect temperature - age/biological sex correct answers -older adults have lower temp
than average adult
-women temp increases 0.5 to 1.0 F due to increase in progesterone
factors that affect temperature - physical activity correct answers physical exertion increases
body temperature
factors that affect temperature - state of health correct answers presence of certain diseases result
in alterations in body temperature
factors that affect temperature - environmental temperatures correct answers -when one is
exposed to extreme cold heat loss is increased to hypothermia
,-when one is exposed to extreme heat hyperthermia will result
onset (cold or chill phase) correct answers -increased heart rate, respiratory rate and depth
-shivering, cold skin, cold
-cyanotic nail beds and gooseflesh
-cessation of sweating
course (plateau phase) correct answers -no chills, warm skin
-photosensitivity, glassy eyes
-increase pulse and respiratory rates, thirst, loss of appetite
-drowsiness
-malaise
defervesence (flush phase) correct answers -skin that feels warm
-sweating and decreased shivering
oral temperature correct answers -most common, convenient, and accurate
-insert in posterior sublingual pocket under tongue
-wait 15-30 minutes if food or drink consumption, smoker, or mouth breather
-do not use in kids 5 and below
axillary temperature correct answers -temperature read for 7-9 minutes
-place in center of axillary region and cross arm over for good seal
-probe has to be against bare skin for accurate reading
-common in children
rectal temperature correct answers -very accurate core temperature
,-used for confirmation of unsure readings, icu patients, and unresponsive patients
-lubricant and gloves to be worn
-1 inch for kids, 1 1/2 inch for adults
tympanic temperature correct answers -senses heat off tympanic membrane
-measurement of core temperature
-pull pinna of ear up and back to straighten ear canal
-for kids under 3 pull pinna of ear down and back
infrared temperature correct answers -more accurate than axillary
-captures heat over temporal artery
-can use center to right or center to left of forehead, then scan behind ear
-hold down button the whole time
pulse correct answers -measuring for strength, amplitude, irregularity
-count beats per minute
-if irregular or can't count get apical pulse for 1 minute
normal pulse correct answers 60-100 bpm
tachycardia correct answers greater than 100 bpm
bradycardia correct answers lower than 60 bpm
0 pulse correct answers absent pulse
1+ pulse correct answers weak pulse
, 2+ pulse correct answers normal pulse
peripheral pulse correct answers -anywhere away from the heart
-throbbing sensation over peripheral arteries like carotid or radial
central/apical pulse correct answers -monitored in anyone with weak/irregular pulses, on cardiac
medications, infants and kids less than 2 years old
-apex of the heart
-auscultated for 1 minute
-5th intercostal space on the midclavicular line
mitral and tricuspid sound correct answers lub
aortic and pulmonic sound correct answers dub
factors that affect pulse - age/biological sex correct answers -women have a higher pulse
-pulse decreases with age
factors that affect pulse - physical activity correct answers -increases with exercise
-athletes have a lower pulse rate because heart is more efficient
factors that affect pulse - fever and stress correct answers -elevated body temperature causes
increased pulse rate
-increased levels of stress cause an increased pulse rate
factors that affect pulse - medication use correct answers some medications increase or decrease
a patient's pulse
