Q

Blood Pressure

A

B/P measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and measures the force of blood moving in blood vessels
To calculate, take the top number and subtract it by the bottom number
Normal = 120/80
Normal Range = 100/60 - 140/80

28
Q

First sound you hear when taking blood pressure

A

systolic

29
Q

Respiration

A

Equals 1 inspiration + 1 expiration

30
Q

Oral Temperature

A

Normal = 98.6 F

Normal Range = 97.6 - 99.6

31
Q

Aural (Tympanic) Temperature

A

Normal = 99.6

Normal Range = 98.6 - 100.6

32
Q

Axillary Temperature

A

Normal = 97.6

Normal Range = 96.6 - 98.6

33
Q

Temporal Thermometer Temperature

A

Normal = 99.6

Normal Range = 98.6 - 100.6

34
Q

Radial Pulse

A 
Normal = 80 
Normal = 60-100
35
Q

Brachial Pulse

A

Normal = 80

Normal Range = 60-100

36
Q

Apical Pulse

A

Normal = 80

Normal Range = 60-100

37
Q

Carotid

A

Normal = 80

Normal Range = 60-100

38
Q

Respirations

A

Normal Range = 12-20

39
Q

Bradycardia

A

low pulse

under 60

40
Q

Tachycardia

A

high pulse

over 100

41
Q

Bradypnea

A

slow breaths

under 12

42
Q

Tachypnea

A 
rapid breaths (most likely shallow)
over 20
43
Q

Hypertension

A

high blood pressure

over 140/80

44
Q

Hypotension

A

low blood pressure

under 100/60

45
Q

Roots

A 
Tachy = rapid
Brady = slow
cardia = pulse
pnea = breathing 
tension = blood pressure
thermia = temperature
46
Q

2 causes of pulse deficit

A

Heart is beating too fast to get an accurate pulse

Heart beat is weak and isn’t pumping enough blood to have a pulse

47
Q

Calculating pulse deficit

A

Apical pulse - Radial pulse = Pulse deficit

48
Q

electronic health record

Benefit is the elimination of paper records and filing systems

49
Q

CT

A

computerized tomography

50
Q

HIE

A

health information exchange

51

measures activity of hydrogen atoms within the body to create cross sectional images of the body
people with pacemakers or metal implants cannot use this technology

52
Q

CAD

A

computer-aided design

53
Q

IGS

A

image-guided surgery

54

PET

A

positron emission tomography

55
Q

Ultrasonography

A

uses sound waves bouncing back from the body to create a picture of the body part

56
Q

Electrocardiograph

A

uses a computer to direct all traffic by frequency sound waves to the chest wall of the heart to evaluate cardiac function

57
Q

Lasers

A

uses precisely focused light beings to create a surgical incision

58
Q

Radiation therapy

A

uses high-energy particles, such as a proton beam or isotope to decrease the size of tumors

59

Q

Essential for all health care occupations

A

a working knowledge of computers

61
Q

National Health Exchange

A

responsible for receiving all patient records and forwarding them to other healthcare agencies as needed

62
Q

Virus

A

coded to disrupt the function of the code of a program, website, download, or computer itself

63
Q

Barcodes

A

are on patient identification bands and are extremely useful for disoriented or unconscious patients

64
Q

HIPPA

A

has established requirements to protect the privacy of patient information on computers

65
Q

Automated drug dispensing systems

A

check for drug compatibility, incorrect dosage, and allergies; record information on a patient’s record; and all the medications to the patient’s account

66
Q

Electrocardiogram

A

computerized interpretation system to provide information on the electrical activity of the heart

67
Q

Robotic surgery

A

corrects faults of shaky hands or imprecise incisions of human hand and allow surgeons to operate from a distance (even thousands of miles away from the patient)
