Week 6, Cardiovascular Flashcards

1
Q

Blood flow through the heart

A

Superior + Inferior vena cava–> Right atrium–> through tricuspid valve–> right ventricle–> though pulmonary valve –> lungs–>pulmonary vein–>(oxygenated) –> left atrium–> through mitral valve–> left ventricle–>aortic valve–> aorta–> body

scale

A

shedding dead skin cells (may be dry, flakey, oily, adherent)

48
Q

Fissure

A

linear cleft through epiderm (like on heels, fingers, between toes, corner of mouth)

49
Q

Excoriation

A

loss of outer layer of skin torn by rubbing/itching

50
Q

Erosion

A

loss of epidermis, when a blister pops

51
Q

Keloid

A

inc collagen over scar tissue

52
Q

Braden scale:

A
predict pressure injury risk.  Low score- high risk.
