rhonchi

enlargement of breast tissues in a male

GYNECOMASTIA

palpable vibrations that results from air passing through the bronchopulmonary system and transmitting vibrations to the chest wall

FREMITUS

commonly used for female pelvic examination in which the patient lies on her back with her hips and knees flexed and her thighs abducted and rotated externally

THRILL

Accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity

ASCITES

- Noise or vibration produced by rubbing together irregular cartilage surface or broken ends of a bone

CREPITUS

Thickening and hardening of the skin often resulting from the irritation caused by repeated scratching of a pruritic lesion

LICHENIFICATION

Normal degree of vigor and tension; in muscle, the normal degree of tension

TONE

Physical assess technique by which the examiner TAPS on the skin surface with her fingers to assess the size, border, consistency of internal organs and to detect and evaluate fluid in body cavity

PERCUSSION

Measurements of the human body taken as a part of a comprehensive nutritional assessment

ANTROPOMETRIC MEASUREMENT

what are the cardinal signs?

``` body temperature pulse respiration rate blood pressure pain ```

balance between heat produced by the body and heat loss

body temperature

temperature of the deep tissues

core temp

body temperature above normal range

pyrexia/hyperthermia

very high fever

hyperpyrexia

subnormal temperature

hypothermia

This is a wave of blood created by contraction of the left ventricle of the heart. The heart is a pulsating pump, and the blood enters the arteries with each heartbeat, causing pressure pulses or pulse waves. Generally, the pulse wave represents the stroke volume and the compliance of the arteries.

Pulse

pulse rate below 60 beats/min

Bradycardia–

pulse rate of above 100 beats/min

Tachycardia

what pulse are you listening to when using a sthethoscope

apical pulse

how many pulses in the human body

9 pulse

Is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the | atmosphere and the body.

respiration

what is the normal rr in an adult

14-20

This can be established by watching the movement of the chest. It is generally described as normal, deep, or shallow.

Depth

This is the force exerted by the blood against a vessel wall. Arterial blood pressure is a measure of the pressure exerted by the blood as it flows through the arteries. There are two blood pressure measures:

blood pressure

This is the pressure of the blood because of contraction of | the ventricles, which is the height of the blood wave.

systolic pressure

This is the pressure when the ventricles are at rest. It is the lower pressure present at all times within the arteries.

diastolic pressure

is an abnormally low blood pressure below 100min Hg systolic.

Hypotension
