Question 5

Hyperthermia vs pyrexia

Pyrexia: 101-104F, caused by infection (the flu)

Question 6

Activity intolerance is measured with what set of vitals?

Answer 6

Question 7

WAAM:

Answer 7

• What is the question asking
• ADPIE
• ABCs (cannot move past, do something)
• Maslow’s

Question 8

Capnography
purpose
normal range
hyper vs hypoventilation
CPR
Shark wave form

Answer 8

Assess for efficacy of respiration (Is patient retaining co2? Poor ventilation, Respiratory Depression)
Normal = 35 - 45
O2 sat is the preferred measurement
Hypoventilation: expelling CO2 (>45)
Hyper: retaining too much CO2 (<35)
CPR try to maintain >10mmHg
Shark: bronchospasms

Question 9

Pulse pressure
How is it calculated
normal range
what is being measured

Answer 9

SBP – DBP = PP
Normal = 30-40 mmhg
Ex: bp 120/80
120 – 80 = 40 pulse pressure

Force that heart produces with each contraction

Question 10

MAP
How is it calculated
normal range
what is being measured

Answer 10

MAP= (SBP + 2DBP) / 3
Normal = 65 - 110
Decreased: SV, SCO, MVP, blood loss
Increased: Heart block, Increased ICP (along with bradycardia & irregular breathing = Cushing’s Triad), Pregnancy

Perfusion Pressure to organs

Question 11
