Preparation Guidelines in Physical Assessment
Preparing Physical Setting or Environment
. Preparing Oneself
Preparing Equipment
Is soft, fine, and short
Helps body maintain a steady temp by providing
insulation
Vellus hair
Functions of Integumentary System
- Protect
- Immunity
- Fluid balance
- Absorption
- Excretion
- Synthesis of Vitamin D
a protective layer on your baby’s skin. It appears as a white, cheese-like substance.
vernix caseosa
Serious illness that causes nail growth to slow or
halt
Beau’s lines (transverse ridges)
Associated with alopecia areata, fungal
infections( pal-ak)
Patchy Alopecia
Usually caused by endocrine disorders or medication such as steroids
Hair in male patterns in female (excess facial or
trunk hair)
Hirsutism
in front of the ear lymph node
periauricular
behind ear; superficial to mastoid process lymph node
postauricular
base of the skull lymph node
occipital
angle of the mandible
tonsillar
between angle & tip of mandible
submandibular
behind tip of mandible
submental
superficially along the sternocleidomastoid
Superficial Cervical
abored breathing/ difficulty in
breathing
dyspnea
TRUE OR FALSE
Lymphatic tissue is smallest in childhood & increases in size with age.
largest, decreases
Normal palpable nodes are more likely to be found in children than in adults.(T or F)
T
Common signs of tuberculosis in children can include swollen lymph nodes in the neck region,
which may appear one or more.(T or F)
T
A palpable normal node is more likely to be a superficial node than a deep cervical one. Deep cervical nodes are normally non palpable( T or F)
T
possible causes of epistaxis (nosebleed)
*Coagulation disorders
*Trauma
*Other hematologic disorders
*Renal
disorders
normal adult male heart weight
Adult M= 250-390g (8.8-13.8 oz)
Normal adult female heart weight
Adult F= 200-275g (7-9.7 oz)
Sac that surrounds the heart and roots of the
great vessels.
pericardium
Outer layer of fibrous connective tissue
fibrous pericardium
Contains pericardial fluid (10-20ml) of serous fluis
Serous pericardium
volves blood vessels that circulate blood through the pulmonic arteries, lungs, and pulmonary veins
pulmonary circulation
Carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to
the body, and returns deoxygenated blood back
to the heart
systematic circulation
Carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart through the rest of the body except pulmoary artery (carries O2 depleted blood from right
ventricle to the lungs
arteries
A small-diameter blood vessel in the
microcirculation that extends and branches out
from an artery and leads to capillaries.
arterioles
Thin walls and highly permeable
Exchange of fluid, nutrients, and metabolic wastes between blood and cells
capillaries
A small blood vessel in the microcirculation that allows deoxygenated blood return from capillary beds to larger blood vessels called veins.
They range from 8 to 100 myumeters in diameter and are formed when capillaries come together.
Venules
Walls are thinner and more pliable than the wall of an artery.
Carry blood toward the heart.
Most carry CO2 depleted blood except
pulmonary veins (carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium)
Serves as large reservoir for circulating blood.
Contain valves at periodic intervals to prevent blood from flowing backward.
Veins
cells ability to initiate an
impulse of the heart
automaticity
respons to an impulse and
create an action potential of the heart
excitability
- transmit an impulse
conductivity
Normal pacemaker of the heart
Sinoatrial (SA) Node
Paces at 20-40bpm
bundle of HIS
Stimulates the ventricles to contract
purkinje fibers
Series of audible, prolonged sounds resulting from turbulence created within the vascular system of the heart
murmurs
(grade the murmur) Barely audible, heard only in a quiet room & then
with difficulty
grade 1
(grade the murmur) Clearly audible, but faint
grade 2
(grade the murmur) Moderately loud, easy to hear
grade 3
(grade the murmur) Loud, associated with a thrill palpable on the
chest wall
grade 4
(grade the murmur) Very loud, heart with one corner of the
stethoscope lifted off the chest wal
grade 5
(grade the murmur) Loudest, still heart with the entire stethoscope
lifted off the chest
grade 6
Becomes progressively louder
crescendo
Becomes progressively softer
decrescendo
Peaks then decreases again
Crescendo-decrescendo
Remains equal in intensity
Plateau-shaped
High pitched, scratchy, leathery sound that is generated when the inflamed parietal and visceral pericardial layers rub together
Pericardial Friction Rub
Murmur-like sound that is vascular in origin
bruit
