Q

gallop

A

S3 becomes intense and easy to hear, the resulting sequence of sounds simulates a gallop–called pre-diastolic gallop rhythm

Q

click

A

semilunar valve stenosis will cause ejection clicks, mitral valve prolapse (less sharp of a sound) will be associated with mid-late systole

Q

snap

A

stenosis of mitral valve will cause OPENING snap (usually opening of valves is silent) - loud snap=still mobile valve

Q

S3

A

phase 2 of diastole, S3 is heard if an abnormal volume of blood is transferred into ventricle (sound is b/c ventricle dilates beyond the normal)

22
Q

consolidation

A

alveolar space that contains something other than air (could be pulmonary edema, pus or other exudates with pneumonia)

23
Q

tactile fremitus increase

A

pneumonia, tumor, pulmonary edema - increases when lung density increases

24
Q

tactile fremitus decreases

A

decreased when lung tissue is replaced by fluid or air (pleural effusion, emphysema, pneumothorax, atelectasis, foreign body)

25
Q

scoliosis

A

spine curved laterally

26
Q

kyphosis

A

“round back” or “hunchback” - over curvature of thoracic vertebrae

A

flank bruising (retroperitoneal hemorrhage)

32
Q

Cullen Sign

A

33
Q

Murphy Sign

A

cholecystitis test - palpate the liver margin and have patient take a deep breath - abrupt halt of inspiration (+) sign

34
Q

Rovsing Sign

A

palpation of LLQ increases pain in RLQ (+) sign if painful - apendicitis

35
Q

McBurney Sign

A

point in RLQ between umbilicus and R anterior superior iliac spine - pain in this area is a + sign for apendicitis

36
Q

Blumberg Sign

A

aka rebound tenderness

37
Q

Psoas Sign

A

R hand on pt’s R leg, have them raise the leg, RLQ pain is + sign for apendicitis

38
Q

Obturator Sign

A

bend knee and rotate medially and laterally (+) RLQ pain is indication of apendicitis

39
Q

claudication

A

impairment in walking (pain, tenderness, muscle fatigue) due to ischemia–relieved with rest, site of pain distal to stenosis

40
Q

orthopnea

A

SOB that begins or increases with lying down; relieved with sitting up

41
Q

paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea

A

sudden severe SOB and coughing that occurs at night; sitting upright may or may not relieve the problem

A

genital wart
