What is normal blood pressure
120/80
In regards to blood pressure when should lifestyle changes be implemented?
When the BP is 130/80
In regards to BP stage 1 indicates?
a systolic (S) of 130-139 OR diastolic (D) of 80-89 mmHg
In regards to BP stage 2 indicates?
(S) >140 OR (D) >90 mmHg
In regards to BP Hypertensive crisis is?
(S) >180 AND OR (D) > 120
Hypertension
120-129/<80
Hypotension
<90/60 mmHg with S&S
Orthostatic hypotension
(pooling of blood) When you go from lying down to sitting/standing there is a decrease in pressure. Decrease in (S) of 20 and a decrease in (D) of 10.
Primary hypertension
Primary hypotension
Symptoms of Orthostatic Hypotension?
Lightheaded, dizziness, and blurred vision
testing for Orthostatic Hypotension?
Involves lying the person down for 5 minutes. then grabbing BP and pulse, Then sitting that person down for 3 minutes then re-checking BP and pulse. Then (IF ABLE) finally bring that person to the standing position for another 3 minutes then check BP and Pulse
PS: Everyone has a drop but only a little bit & doesn’t last as long as 3-5 minutes
What is (MAP) & what is the minimum range?
(MAP) stands for mean arterial pressure, which is the indication of perfusion of blood to vital organs. A minimum MAP of 60mm Hg is required in order to perfuse vital organs however normal is 70-100.
PS: the equation to get this number is 2 X (D) + (S) over 3
Numerical Pain Scale?
Mild (1-3) Moderate (4-6), Intense (7-10)
FLACC Pain Scale What does it mean and who is it used for?
Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) Is for people who cannot communicate.

PAINAD is used to figure out the level of PAIN in patients with advanced dementia (AD)
Important things to know when assessing pain in patients?
Onset, Location, Functional limitations (e.g., can’t eat or sleep), Pain Interventions (e.g., pharm/non-pharm), and the Patient’s Functional Goals (e.g., chronic pain 10/10 to a 3/10).
After intervention of pain, what should be done?

PS: Intervention —> evaluation
