Exam #2 Flashcards
Active range of motion
movement executed w/o assistance
actively contracting muscles
Passive range of motion
movement of body part by another person or device w/o effort
-muscles dont contract
Resistive range of motion
movement performed against resistance
-muscles active
symptom
change in body thar is subjectively described by person
-you cant see it
example of a symptom
- headache
- numbness
- pain
sign
objective indication of injury determined by examiner
exmaple of a sign
- swelling
- skin color
- deformities
first 5 steps to eval
- rule out life threatening situation
- history of injury
- specific to that injury - history of individual
- find out what is normal movement - observation
- eyes only - palpation
- start away from injured area
6-10 of steps to eval
- test structural integrity
- check all pulses
- ROM
- check nerves - test functional activity
- this happens only if we suspect injury is mild - decision and action
- re-evaluate
- continues until back to normal - record results
RICE stands for…
- rest
- ice
- compression
- elevate
benefits of ice
3 of them
- decrease circulation
- decrease cell metabolism
- decrease pain and muscle spasms
what is secondary hypoxic injury
-decreases cells need for
O2
-dying cells effect celsl around them
benefits of compression
limit internal bleeding to stop edema from time of injury
benefits of elevation
helps venous return
limits circulation to injured area
timline of sensations during icing
0-3 min: cold/pain
2-7 min: burning/aching
5-12 min: numbness
tingling happens thru out whole time
types of ice treatment
4 if them
- cold pack/towel
- ice massage
- ice immersion
- cold whilrpool
what is a hemorrage?
escaping blood thru walls of blood vesseels/ruptured vessels
arterial hem
- rapid flow
- bright red blood
venus hem
- rapid/steady
- dark blood
capillary hem
oozing or gradual seepage of blood
how do you control a hem?
- direct pressure
- elevation
- cut off pressure points
steps taken during emergency
- assess vital signs
- treat for shock
- emergency action plan
what is a vital sign?
indicated status of cardio respiratory system and CNS
what are the four vital signs?
- pulse: 60-90 bt/min
- resp rate/quality: 12-20 breaths/min
- BP: 120/80-110/70
- temp
what is shock?
heart is unable to exert adequate pressure to circulate enough oxygenated blood to vital organs
shock is due to…
- damaged heart
- decreased blood volume
- blood vessel dilation
shock results in
-heart beats faster
-pulse is weak
b/c blood volume is so low
situations that can lead to shock
5 of them
- extreme temp exposure
- extreme fatigue
- extreme dehydration
- severe injury
- illness
