Q

ophthalmoscope apertures

A

large aperture – (most commonly used) produces a large round beam
small aperture – for small pupils
red free filter – produces green beam for examination of the optic disk for pale appearance and vessel changes. Recognition of retinal hemorrhages (blood appears black)
slit – for anterior eye and elevation of lenses
Grid – Estimation of the size of fundal lesions.

Q

sphygmomanometer

A

a device used to manually measure blood pressure with the use of a stethoscope. The inflatable bladder restricts blood flow, measurements of pressure are recorded when blood flow is just starting and when it ceases to be unimpeded.

Q

bradycardia

A

While the body is at rest there is less oxygen demand and metabolic activity, so the pulse rate decreases. Parasympathetic stimulation and certain drugs can decrease the heart rate significantly below a normal resting heart rate.

Facies:

Retina

A

The Retina is the sensory network of the eye. It transforms light impulses into electrical impulses, which are transmitted through the optic nerve, optic tract and optic radiation to the visual cortex of the brain, the cerebral cortex. Other landmarks of the retina include the optic disc, where the optic nerve originates, together with the central retinal artery and vein. The Macula, or fovea is the site of central vision.

Q

eyelid

A

The eyelid is composed of skin, striated muscle, the tarsal plate and conjunctivae. Meibomian glands provide oils to the tear film. The tarsus provides a skeleton to the lid. The eyelid distributes tears over the surface of the eye, limits the amount of lights entering it, and protects the eye from foreign bodies.

109
Q

Why is pain considered the “5th Vital Sign”?

A

Pain is associated with tissue damage. As a chief complaint, pain is a subjective measure of a Pt’s emotional response to the pathophysiological effect of tissue damage on body systems. The Pt’s report of pain is the most reliable indicator of pain. (Seidel’s, ‘Clinical Pearl’, Ch. 4, p. 56)

Apocrine glands

A
  • -Larger and deeper than eccrine glands
  • -Found only in the axillae, nipples, areolae, anogenital area, eyelids, external ears
  • -Secrete odorless white fluid (“apocrine sweat”) w/ protein, carbohydrates, etc (not stinky in and of itself; it’s bacterial metabolism that makes BO)
122
Q

Eccrine glands

A
  • -Sweat glands that open directly onto surface of skin

- -Regulate body temperature by secreting water

123
Q

Nail plate

A
  • -The hard, visible part of the nail
  • -Made of keratin
  • -What you apply polish to when you paint your nails
124
Q

Three segments of hair follicle

A

–Lower = bulb and suprabulb
(from the base of follicle to insertion of erector pili muscle)

–Middle = isthmus
(short section that extends from insertion of erector pili muscle to entrance of sebaceous gland duct)

–Upper = infundibulum
(from entrance of sebaceous gland duct to follicular orifice)

125
Q

Paronychium

A
  • -Skin at the lateral edges of the nail plate
  • -Like eponychium, but laterally instead of at the base of nail
  • -Infection = paronychia
126
Q

Sebaceous gland

A

Secrete sebum (lipid-rich, keeps skin from drying out)

127
Q

Hair root

A

–Round area at base of hair shaft
–Houses the hair matrix
Note: Follicle = root + its covering

128
Q

Hair follicle

A
  • -The root and its covering
  • -Three segments:
  • Lower = bulb and suprabulb, from the base of follicle to insertion of erector pili muscle
  • Middle = isthmus, short section that extends from insertion of erector pili muscle to entrance of sebaceous gland duct
  • Upper = infundibulum, from entrance of sebaceous gland duct to follicular orifice

130
Q

amastia

A

absence of breast tissue. May be due to rare congenital abnormality, or more often a bilateral mastectomy.

131
Q

lactation

A

production and release of milk by mammary glands.

132
Q

polymastia

A

The condition of having more than two breasts

133
Q

galactorrhea

A

Lactation not associated with childbearing. Often due to a disruption of communication between the hypothalamus and pituitary glands which leads to elevated levels of prolactin, a hormone that stimulates milk production.

134
Q

mastalgia

A

pain in the breast. May be due to hormonal fluctuations (e.g. menstrual cycle), trauma, cyst, infection.

135
Q

inverted nipple(s)

A

nipple(s) that are retracted/tucked inward. May affect one or both nipples and can be congenital or acquired. If acquired, can be suggestive of inflammatory or malignant tissue.

136
Q

everted nipple(s)

A

nipple(s) that point outward; most nipples have this appearance

137
Q

gynecomastia

A

enlargement of breast tissue in males. May occur briefly at birth, briefly around puberty, or in adults >50 years old. Causes include hormonal stimulation (e.g. maternal hormones in newborns), pituitary or testicular tumors, excess body fat (causes increased estrogen production), medications.

138
Q

Montgomery’s tubercles

A

sebaceous glands in the areola that produce oily secretions to lubricate and protect the nipple

139
Q

supernumerary nipple

A

congenital accessory breast tissue, that may or may not contain glandular tissue. Located along the “milk line” an embryonic ridge that stretches from the from the axilla to the groin; most frequently found inferior to the “normal” breast. More common in black women than white women.

140
Q

Physiologic factors influencing arterial blood pressure.

A

BP is affected by three factors:

	a. stroke volume (amount of blood pumped by left ventricle in one contraction)
	b. heart rate (beats per minute)
	c. peripheral vascular resistance (resistance to expansion of vessel walls by circulating blood)

Conditions that affect one of the above factors influence blood pressure: exercise, diet (e.g. sodium), alcohol/drugs, caffeine, stress/anxiety, weight, pain, fever, vascular resistance (e.g. atherosclerosis).

141
Q

diaphragmatic respirations

A

synonymous with “abdominal respirations”, “belly breathing”; the diaphragm does most of the work while the chest wall muscles are mostly a rest; normal, quiet breathing

142
Q

<p>abdominal respirations</p>

A

<p>synonymous with "diaphragmatic respirations", "belly breathing"; the diaphragm does most of the work while the chest wall muscles are mostly a rest; normal, quiet breathing</p>

143
Q

thoracic respirations

A

performed entirely by expansion of the chest by using the chest wall muscles; the abdomen does not move

144
Q

paradoxic breathing

A

a portion of the chest wall sinks inward with each inspiration, common with chest trauma; also a condition seen in diaphragm paralysis when the diaphragm ascends during inspiration

145
Q

hyperpnea

A

rapid and deep respirations >20 breaths per minute

146
Q

<p>apnea</p>

A

<p> literally "no breathing", the absence of spontaneous respiration</p>

147
Q

<p>tachypnea</p>

A

<p>literally "rapid breathing", faster than normal respirations >20 breaths per minute
</p>

148
Q

<p>bradynea</p>

A

<p>literally "slow breathing", slower than normal <12 breaths per minute</p>

149
Q

hyperventilation

A

can be due to tachypnea, hyperpnea or both; an increased amount of air enters the lungs, which results in lowered CO2 levels

150
Q

Cheyne-Stokes repirations

A

periodic breathing; repetitive pattern of apnea

followed by gradual increasing depth and frequency of respirations

151
Q

Kussmaul breathing

A

rapid, very deep, labored and gasping respirations associated with metabolic acidosis
