30
Factors that influence temperature
dirunal (24 hr) cycle

exersize
age (wider range in children, lower temp in older adults)
31
Pulse
pressure wave that expans and recoils the artery when the heart contracts and beats
check
HR
Heart rhythm
heart force
32
Locations to check pulse
mostly brachial and radial
33
Normal HR
50-95 bpm
34
bradykardia
less than 50 bpm
35
tachycardia
greater than 95 bpm
36
Force of pulse

3+ full bounding
2+ normal
1+ weak and thready
0 absent
37
Factors that influence pulse
fluid status
fever
medications
exercise
anxiety
38
Respriations
normally relaxed, regular, automatic, and silent
Normal 12-20
39
Bradypnea
less than 12 rr/min
40
tachypnea
greater than 20 rr/min
41
Factors influencing respiration by the following
o2 status
age
anxiety
42
blood pressure
how strong blood moves through BV
43
systolic
when the heart contracts
120
44
diastolic
when the heart rests
80
45
pulse pressure
difference between systolic and diastolic
46
Factors controling bp
cardiac output
peripheral vascular resistance
volumne of circulating blood
viscosity
elasticity of vessel walls
47
cardiac output
increase in CO leads to increase BP
decrease in CO leads to decrease BP
48
peripheral vascular resistance
vasoconstrictuion increases BP
vasodilation decreases BP
49
Volumne of cirulating blood
fluid retention leads to increased BP
hemorrhages leads to decreased BP
50
Viscosity
increase associated with increase BP
51
elasticity of vessel walls
increasing rigidity assoicated with increase in BP
52
Factors influencing bp
nonmodifiable: age, gender, race, diurnal rhythm
modifiable: weight, exercise, emotions, stress
53
Korotkoff Sounds
phases of sound 1-5, 1 is systolic (first apperance of sound)
5 is diastolic (final disappearnce of sounds)
54
Common errors in BP measurement
taking when active or emotional, wrong cuff size, reinflanting during procudure, wrong arm/leg position
55
Infants/Children temperature
avoid rectal route
-use oral route when old enough to keep mouth closed 4/5
- electronic thermometer because unbreakable
56
aging adults temperature
-changes in body temp, agin person less likely to have fever and at greater risk for hypothermia
- temperature less reliable index of older person's true health state
57
Children pulse
-children older than 2 use radial site
-rate normally fluctuates more with children
58
Aging Adults pulse
-rhthym might be irregular
- radial artery may fee stiff. rigid, and tortous in older person
- increasingly rigid arterial wall needs faster upstroke of blood, so poluse is easier to palpate
59
Children respiration
watch infants abdomen for movement, because infants repsriation are normally more diaphragmatic than thoracic
-sleeping is most accurate in infants
- count for a full minute due to pattern variation
60
Aging adult respiration
-decrease vital capcity and decreased inspiratory reserve volumen
-shallower insirpatory phase and an increased respriatory rate
61
BP children
BP is not normally check in children less than 3 years of age
-cuff width must cover 2/3 of upper arm
-pediatric end piece
62
Agin adults bp
-aorta and major arteries tend to harden with age
-systolic pressure increases
- both systolic and diastolic pressures increase, difficult to tell the difference between aging and hypertension
63
Orthostatic vital signs
a drop in systolic pressure grater than 20 mmHg or diastolic pressure greater than 10mmhg after changing in a standing postion
-laying down, sitting, standing
64
Thigh pressure
normally higher than arm
diastolic often the same
BP measured here when arm is excessivly high
checking for coarctation of aorta
65
Pain
unpleasent sensory and emotional experience assoicated with or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissuse damage
-personal experience
-person's report of an experience as pain should be respected
66
Nociceptive pain
develops when functioning and intact nerve fibers in the periphery and CNS are stimulated
-Transduction
-Transmission
-Perception
-Modulation
67
Neurpathic pain
result of nerve damage or malfunctioning nervous system
-type of apin that does not follow typical phases
-abnormal processing of pain message that is difficult to assess and treat
- tends to progress with time
- often percieved long after site of injury heals
Dieabetes, shingles, HIV/AIDs, phantom limb pain
68
Somatic pain
pain receptors in tissues are activated
69
visceral pain
pain receptors in pelivs, abdomen, chest, intestine are activated
-vauge and not localized
70

73
acute pain
protective pain
less than 3 months post surgical
-short term and self limiting
- self protective purpose
74

malignant and nonmalignant
-does not stop when injury heals
- outlasts its protective purpose
75
breakthrough pain
when gap in drug relief and pain between treatments occur
