(56 cards)
The practitioner’s diagnosis or impression of the patient’s condition is
The assessment
Method for maintaining notes on a patient chart is arranged in order to who provided the information
Source orientated method
Adult height should be measured to the nearest
Quarter of an inch
Normal BP for an adult
120-80
Normal Heart rate
60-100
Normal respiration rate
12-20
Normal oral temperature
97-99
Pulse located in the groove thumb side of inner wrist
radial
Pulse located at the bend of the elbow
Brachial
Palpatory method obtaining Blood pressure
Note the level of pressure at which the pulse disappears
Procedure for taking an auscultated Blood pressure
Inflate the cuff to 30 mm HG above determined palpitations
Pulse 45 beats per minute is considered
Bradycardia
Deep snoring rattling sound associated with asthma
Rhonchi
Transmission of electrical impulses of the heart begin
SA Node
Primary pacemaker of the heart
SA Node
Delays the electrical impulses for muscle contractions giving the Atria time to contract completely and fill the ventricles with blood
AV Node
Electrical impulses that innate chain reaction resulting in contraction
Depolarization
The electrical impulses responsible for the cardiac cycle that appear on an electrocardiogram as peaks and valley are called
Deflections
The different views recorded on an electrocardiogram that are produced by the electrical activity of the heart are
leads
The precordial electrode placed in fourth intercostal space to the left sternum
V2
The precordial electrode placed in the fifth intercostal space
V4
Test used to utilize and measure the hearts conduction systems during exercise and demand of oxygen is increased
Stress test
Used to test electrical activity of a pts heart over a 24 hour period
Ambulatory method
Deflections that occur on ECG are labeled
P, Q, R, S, T, and U
