27
factors affecting temperature: age
as you age, your temperature tens to run lower
28
factors affecting temperature: exercise
increase blood supply, increase heat production, increase body temperature
29
factors affecting temperature: hormone level
women experience increase fluctuation in body temp (progesterone)
30
factors affecting temperature: circadian rhythm
lowest temperature at 6 am and highest temperature at 4 pm (in healthy people)
31
factors affecting temperature: stress
Stress increases metabolism, increasing oxygen need when the body cant meet this demand = hypoxia
32
factors affecting temperature: environment
room temperature/ temperature outside can lead to increase or decrease body temperature
33
fever
Abnormally high body temperature important mechanism and enhances immune system
34
hyperthermia
abnormally high body temperature due to the body inability to promote heat loss or reduce heat production
35
hypothermia
Abnormally low body temperature often associated with exposure to cold and the body is unable to compensate
36
heatstroke
prolonged exposure to the sun or high environmental temperature overwhelms the heat-loss mechanisms the body
37
heat exhaustion
condition resulting from exposure to heat and excessive loss of fluid through diaphoresis results in excess water and electrolyte loss
38
normal pulse range

40
what factors influence pulse
Exercise Temperature Acute pain Emotions Drugs Hemorrhage Position changes Pulmonary conditions
41
factors that influence pulse: temperature
fever and heat increase pulse hypothermia decrease pulse
42
factors that influence pulse: acute pain
increase in sympathetic activity will increase HR effects of chronic pain/parasympathetic stimulation increases by unrelieved pain which decreases HR
43
factors that influence pulse: emotions
SNS increase pulse (anxiety) PNS decrease pulse
44
factors that influence pulse: medications
epinephrine- increase HR beta adrenergic and CC blockers decrease HR
45
factors that influence pulse: hemorrhage
sympathetic stimulation by loss of blood increases HR
46
factors that influence pulse: postural changes
stand: increases HR lying down: decreases HR
47
factors that influence pulse: pulmonary conditions
(asthma, COPD)--> increased HR due to poor oxygenation

factors affecting respiration: exercise
increases rate/depth so that the body can meet the oxygen demand and get rid of carbon dioxide
56
factors affecting respiration: anxiety
increases RR and depth as result of sympathetic stimulation
57
factors affecting respiration: smoking
changes pulmonary airways increase RR at rest when not smoking
58
factors affecting respiration: body position
straight/erect: full chest expansion stooped/slumped: impaired lying flat: prevent full chest expansion
59
factors affecting respiration: medication
