Question 9

Adults

Answer 9

A systolic blood pressure that is 121 through 139 would be considered hypertension

Is a systolic Blood Pressure of 140 or greater is installic hyperTension

A Diastolic blood pressure of 81-89 It’s considered prehypertension

A diastolic blood pressure of 90 is referred to as diastallic Hypertension

Question 10

Children 1-10

Answer 10

In children 12 ten years of age the lower limit of a normal systolic blood pressure would be calculated by taking 70+ (2×years in age). The lower limit of a normal systemic blood pressure in a six year old would be 82 mmhg(70+(2×6years)=82). As a rough estimation, the stolic Blood Pressure is normally 2/3.S of the systolic blood pressure. As an example a child with a Diastolic blood pressure of As an example , a child with a sesold blood pressure of 90mmhg Would have an accepted Diastolic blood pressure of 60 mmhg.

Question 11

Children or adolescents greater than age 10 years

Answer 11

Children greater than 10 Years of age would have a minimum Cystallic blood pressure of 90 mmhg. A blood pressure less than the minimal expected blood pressure would be a possible indication of shock. It is.
Important to use the blood pressure as only one indicator of shocker hypoperfusion. It is important to note that the decrease in blood pressure is a very late sign of shock.

Question 12

Pulse oximeter and false reading

Answer 12

Shock or hyperfusion states associated with blood loss or poor profusion will lead to inaccurate reading

Hypothermia Or cold andre to the Extremities will reduce peripheral profusion and limit the blood available in the capillaries to be Read by the probe

Excessive movement of the patient for example during some types of seizures will lead to inaccurate readings

Nail polish on the fingers.The probe is attached to Will produce an inaccurate rating , clean the finger Before Attaching the finger probe.

Carbon monoxide will give an abnormal Reading although the cells are becoming highly Hipoxic. Carbon Monoxide Binds with the Hemaglobin in the Blood and absorbs light at the emitted frequencies Creating a red tone.

Cigarette smokers may have falsely high s p 02 readings Because carbon monoxide is a byproduct of the smoke. Up to fifteen percent of the hemoglobin may be bonded with carbon monoxide not oxygen giving a false high reading..

Anemia may produce high readings. The hemoglobin may be saturated with oxygen but the And name it patients Has decreased levels of hemoglobin. The inner globin is saturated with oxygen but the combined hemoglobin oxygen Of the blood is inadequate.

Question 13

Blood glucose levels

Answer 13

Low less then 70

High more then 140
