Q

cardiac condition which may be caused by an irregularity in valve, a septal defect, or the persistence after birth of the opening (foramen valve) between the right and left atria, resulting in a regurgitation of blood in reverse direction of normal flow.

A

heart murmurs

20
Q

may be due to heart block, septal defects, aortic stenosis, hypertension, or other abnormalities.

A

Abnormal splitting of the first and second heart sounds

21
Q

to best hear the first heart sound, auscultate the apex beat of the heart by placing the diaphragm of the stethoscope in the _______________ intercostals space

A

fifth left intercostals space

22
Q

to best hear the second heart sound, place the stethoscope to the right and left of the ______ in the _______________ intercostals space

A

sternum,
second intercostals space

23
Q

extremely low blood pressure (_________)
extremely high blood pressure

A

hypotension
hypertension

24
Q

blood pressure can be indirectly determines with a _____________, which measures in millimeters of mercury rising in a glass column

A

sphygmomanometer (blood pressure cuff)

25
Q

the greater the pressure ______ the rise of mercury

A

higher

26
Q

True or False

Blood pressure is uniform throughout the body

A

False

Blood pressure is not uniform throughout the body but is influenced by gravity

27
Q

is the pressure less or more (<, >, =)

  • arteries of the head and neck ______ heart
  • arteries in the leg _____heart
  • brachial artery ______ heart
A
  • < (less)
  • > (more)
  • = (equal), about the same level
28
Q

Auscultatory measure of blood pressure involves listening to sounds as blood passes through the brachial artery. Normally, _____ is heard through the stethoscope.

A

No sound

29
Q

When pressure is applied to the arm due to constriction from blood pressure cuff, the turbulence of the blood passing through the vessel creates _________. (just like when you pinch off garden hose)

A

sound

30
Q

The significant difference between the flow of blood in the body versus water in a garden hose is that the blood _______ through the arteries as the heart contracts during ___________.

A

pulses
ventricular systole
