56
what is the difference between systolic and diastolic
Systolic pressure: max pressure felt on artery during left ventricular contraction or systole.
Diastolic pressure: elastic recoil, or resting, pressure that blood exerts constantly between each contraction.
57
Mean arterial pressure (MAP)
It is the pressure of blood forcing into tissue, averaged over the cardiac cycle. if less than 60 mmHg blood is shunted to major organs.

60
Korotkoff 1
(Systolic number) Is the first audible tapping sound
61
Korotkoff 5
Is silence, diastolic pressure is the number which the last audible sound is heard before silence.
62
transduction
Pain is felt in the periphery. (Distal)
63
Transmission
Pain moves away from the spinal cord to the brain (moves toward the middle)
it is also important for a quick reaction
64
Perception (pain)
becomes aware of the pain (me)
65
Modulation
body tries to modify the pain through endogenous hormones (mod-ify)
66
PQRST
Provocation: What causes the pain
Quality: what does the pain feel like
Radiates: where does the pain go
Severity: the pain on a scale from 1-10
Time: when did the pain start
67
Visceral Pain
Pain that originates from the larger internal organs
(e.g., stomach, intestine, gallbladder, pancreas) symptoms of this pain are nausea, sweating, tachycardia, and hypertension.
68
Somatic Pain
Originates from musculoskeletal tissues or the body surface. Symptoms of this pain are sharp or dull.
69
Deep Somatic Pain
Pain that originates from sources such as the blood vessels, joints, tendons, muscles, and bones. Symptoms of this pain are aching and throbbing
70
Cutaneous Pain
Pain that is derived from the skin's surface as well as the Sub Q tissue. Symptoms of this pain are sharp and burning.
71
Acute pain
Is pain that is new in onset. It is short-term and self-limiting and often follows a predictable trajectory. It is a protective measure.
72
Chronic Pain
Which is pain that has lasted longer than expected or continues for six months or longer. This pain can be divided into malignant and nonmalignant. (malignant pain often parallels the pathology created by the tumor cells, i.e., organ stretching and necrosis.) and (nonmalignant pain is often associated with deep somatic pain like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and low back pain.
73
Breakthrough Pain
In an otherwise controlled pain syndrome, it is a transient spike in pain level, moderate to severe intensity. It often results in end-of-dose failure or episodic pain.
74
What are the pain scales

78
Pressure Ulcers Stages
Stage 1: Intact non-blanchable (no capillary refill)
Stage 2: Shallow, Red wound (partial thickness)
Stage 3: Full thickness, no bone, tendon, or muscle
Stage 4: Full thickness, with bone, tendon, or muscle & slough/necrosis (debreeding and cleaning)
Unstageable: you can't see red covered in eschar and slough.
If it is Red (protect) proliferative stage and requires moist dressings.

What is the difference between dementia and delirium?
Dementia is a chronic disturbance of consciousness and cognition. Long-term and short-term memory loss is more pronounced. (irreversible), Delirium is an acute disturbance of consciousness and cognition that develops over a short period of time. No history of dementia and may develop in addition to dementia during hospitalization. UTI is another example, and it is usually reversible.
