Coffee ground emesis indicates what?
Peptic ulcers
What is it called when there is a blockage that stops/slows conduction across that point in the nerve?
Conduction above and below that point is normal.
Recovery is possible
Neuropraxia
What is it called when the neural tube is intact, but there is axonal damage with Wallerian Degeneration?
Surgical intervention required
Axonotmesis
What is it called when there is total loss of axonal function with disruption of the neural tube?
Surgical intervention required
Neurotmesis
What is the best joint mob for adhesive capsulitis?
Posterior inferior GH glide
Describe the 5 different joint mobility grades:
1) SMALL amplitude of movement performed at the BEGINNING of the RANGE
2) LARGE amplitude of movement performed WITHIN THE RANGE, but not reaching the limit
3) LARGE amplitude RHYTHMIC OSCILLATIONS are performed UP TO THE LIMIT OF AVAILABLE MOTION and are stressed into the tissue resistance
4) SMALL amplitude RHYTHMIC OSCILLATIONS are performed AT THE LIMIT of available motion and stressed into the tissue resistance
5) SMALL amplitude HIGH VELOCITY THRUST technique performed to snap adhesions at the limit of range
Supine to sit test: describe the innominate rotation
- Affected leg is long when in supine and short when in sitting
- Affected leg is short when in supine and long when in sitting
- Anterior innominate rotation
- Posterior innominate rotation
Define the following BP categories:
Normal:
Elevated:
Stage 1 HTN:
Stage 2 HTN:
Hypertensive Crisis:
Normal: < 120 / < 80
Elevated: 120 - 129 / < 80
Stage 1 HTN: 130 - 139 / 80 - 90
Stage 2 HTN: 140 - 149 / 80 - 90
Hypertensive Crisis: 140 / 90 or greater
What is the equation for cardiac output?
CO = HR x SV
Use the mnemonic for the 6-20 RPE scale to recall exertional levels
“SHVEM”
13 - Somewhat hard
15- Hard
17 - Very Hard
19 - Extremely Hard
20 - Maximal exertion
11 - Light
9 - Very light
7.5 - Extremely light
6 - None
Describe where to auscultate the heart sounds
APT M 2245
Aorta - 2nd ICS on R (sternal border)
Pulmonary - 2nd ICS on L (sternal border)
Tricuspid - 4th ICS on L (sternal border)
Mitral - 5th ICS midclavicular line on L
S1 heart sound
Sound?
What does it signify?
When does it occur?
Sound = lub
Signify = closure of mitral and tricuspid valves
Occurs at = onset of systole
S2 heart sound
Sound?
Signify?
Occurs at?
Sound: dub
Signify: closure of aortic and pulmonary valves
Occurs at: onset of diastole
S3 Heart Sound
Sound?
Occurs during?
Signifies?
Sound: ventricular gallop
Occurs during ventricular filling
Signifies heart failure
S4 heart sound
Sound?
Occurs during?
Associated with?
Sound: atrial gallop
Occurs during: ventricular filling and atrial contraction
Associated with HTN and myocardial infarction
How will you modify your communication with a patient who has Broca’s aphasia?
Ask “yes or no” questions
How will you modify your communication with a patient who has Wernicke’s aphasia?
Use gestures and demonstration
Recall the mnemonic for knowing the locations of the cranial nerves
“CE MI PONS MEDU”
Cerebrum: 1 & 2
Midbrain: 3 & 4
Pons: 5, 6, 7, 8
Medulla: 9, 10, 11, 12
Hearing loss uses Rinne and Weber’s tests. What order do the tests need to be performed in and what do they tell you?
- Rinne - Type of hearing loss (conductive vs. sensorineural)
- Weber - side of hearing loss
Rinne test: what do the following results mean?
AC > BC:
BC > AC:
AC > BC: normal or sensorineural loss (inner ear)
BC > AC: conduction loss (outer ear)
Weber’s test: interpret the results
Heard equal on both sides:
Heard Louder in Normal ear:
Heard Louder in Affected ear:
Heard equal on both sides: normal
Mnemonic: “CANS” - Conduction Affected; Normal Sensorineural
Heard Louder in Normal ear: sensorineural loss (inner ear)
Heard Louder in Affected ear: conduction loss (outer ear)
Deviation of the uvula (Affected by CN 10) is to what side?
Contralateral to the lesion
Deviation of the tongue (Affected by CN 12) is to what side?
Ipsilateral to the injury (lick the lesion(
Lung volumes:
1) Inspiratory capacity = _________________ + __________________
2) Functional residual capacity = __________________ + ________________
3) Vital capacity = ________________ + __________________ + ________________
4) Total lung capacity = _____________ + _______________ + _______________ + __________________
1) inspiratory reserve volume + Tidal volume
2) expiratory reserve volume + residual volume
3) expiratory reserve volume + tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume
4) inspiratory reserve volume + tidal volume + expiratory reserve volume + residual volume
Volumes make up capacities
