BLOOD PRESSURE AND PULSE

Question 1

Arterial diastole

Answer 1

Blood delivered into atria via veins

80% of blood passively into ventricles

Question 2

Atrial systole

Answer 2

Last 20% of blood left in each had delivered to ventricles by atrial systole

Question 3

Ventricular systole

Answer 3

Begins shortly after atrial systole

ventricular contraction, begin pressure rises , closing the AV valve

Question 4

Ejection phase ventricular systole

Answer 4

As pressure begins to rise in the ventricles, blood is pumped into the great arteries

Question 5

Ventricular diastole

Answer 5

Cycle repeats

Question 6

Cardiac cycle steps

Answer 6

Ventricular filling, isovolumetric contraction, ventricular ejection, isovolumetric relaxation

Question 7

Ventricular filling

Answer 7

Atrial pressure is greater than ventricular pressure AV valves are open, and blood flows into atria and into the ventricles SL valve closed

The atria contract to complete the filling of ventricles and ventricular diastole ends

Question 8

Isovolmetric contraction

Answer 8

Contraction of ventricles begin and ventricle pressure increases closing the AV valves and SL still closed

Question 9

Ventricular ejection

Answer 9

Ventricular pressure rises when pressure is exceeded the SL valves open and blood is ejected

Question 10

Iso volumetric relaxation

Answer 10

Ventricles, relax, decreasing pressure, ventricles and SL valves close AV valve already closed

Question 11

Dicrotic notch

Answer 11

Results of a pressure fluctuation that occurs when the aortic valve snaps shut

Question 12

A statoscope is used to ask ausculate what heart sounds

Answer 12

first # heart zone lub closure of the AV valves

Second heart sound dub closure of the SL valves

Question 13

Heart murmur and what can it indicate?

Answer 13

Abnormal heart sound can indicate a defect in one of the valves

Question 14

PULSE

Answer 14

Surges of pressure and arteries equivalent to the heart rate

It’s heart pushing out blood during cardiac cycle

Question 15

Heart rate

Answer 15

Number of beats per minute

Normal is 60 to 100
Average is 70 to 76

Question 16

How long does average heartbeat last?

Answer 16

Point eight seconds

Question 17

How to calculate heart rate from heartbeat length

Answer 17

60 seconds / by heartbeat duration

Question 18

Blood pressure

Answer 18

Pressure exerted against walls of arteries what drugs

Question 19

Systolic blood pressure

Answer 19

Pressure exerted against walls of arteries during ventricular systole

Question 20

Diastolic blood pressure

Answer 20

Pressure exerted against arterial wall during ventricular diastole

Question 21

Blood pressure is measured using a sphygmomanometer in what unit

Answer 21

In MMHG expressed S / D

Question 22

Hypertension, stage 2 blood pressure example

Answer 22

Systolic over 140 or diastolic over 90

Question 23

Hypertensive crisis, blood pressure example

Answer 23

Systolic higher than 180 and or diastolic higher than 120

Question 24

High blood pressure stage one example

Answer 24

Systolic 130 to 139 or diastolic 80 to 89

Question 25

How to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure

Answer 25

Play blood pressure cuff on upper left arm

Stethoscope on brachial artery

Inflate pressure cuff until circulation is cut off

Use knob to slowly release pressure

The first knocking sound is the systolic pressure

When that sound disappears, that is the reading for the diastolic pressure

Question 26

Total peripheral resistance

Answer 26

The amount of force exerted on circulating blood by the vasculature

Question 27

Stroke volume

Answer 27

Amount of blood pumped by the left ventricle during one contraction

Average is 70

Question 28

Cardiac output

Answer 28

Amount of blood pumped by the heart in one minute

Question 29

Cardiac output and BP equation

Answer 29

CO = SV x HR

BP = CO x TPR

Question 30

Pulse pressure

Answer 30

Difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure

SBP -DBP

Question 31

Mean arterial pressure

Answer 31

Average pressure in the patient’s arteries during one cardiac cycle

Question 32

What is considered a better indicator of perfusion to vital organs than SBP

Answer 32

Mean arterial pressure

Question 33

MAP equation

Answer 33

MAP = DBP + pulse pressure / 3

Question 34

Elevated blood pressure and normal blood pressure

Answer 34

Systolic 120 to 129 and diastolic less than 80

Less than 120 and less than 80

Question 35

What is the net change and pressure the order between the start and end of ventricular diastole and one cardiac cycle?

Answer 35

It decreases gradually after a brief increase

Question 36

During ventricular filling phase which valves are opened and closed

Answer 36

Each atrioventricular valves are open and semi lunar valves are closed

Question 37

BP equation

Answer 37

COxTPR

Question 38

What does pulse pressure indicate?

Answer 38

The amount of blood force from the heart during Sicily and it basically tells you how the heart is working

Question 39

Places the posts can be palpated around the body

Answer 39

Radial artery
Superficial temporal artery
Posterior tibial artery
Common carotid artery
Femoral artery
