Final 1 Flashcards
S1
Lub (M1/T1) = sound produced by the closure of mitral and tricuspid valves (atrioventricular)
loudest at the apex (inferior) than S2
S2
Dub (A2/P2) = sound produced by the closure of aortic and pulmonic valves (semilunar)
loudest at the base (superior) than S1
S2 Split
A split S2 is a change in pressure during inspiration, only heard in the pulmonic area. Occurs when the closure of A2 and P2 are not synchronized during inspiration, so they close at slightly different times. Also caused by a change in intrathoracic pressure.
S3
found in individuals over 30, athlete/young, associated with CHF. It occurs during early diastole. You would hear it after the S2 (beginning of diastole).
S3 (Lub, Dub-Ta) = gallops
S4
at the end of diastole which is presystole, IMMEDIATLEY before S1.
S4 (Ta-Lub Dub) = atrial gallop BUMP, BUMP, bump, bump
Turburlent Blood Flow
Carotid Bruit, Murmur, Thrill
Arterial
carry blood from heart to body
Venous
carry blood from body to heart
pooling of blood causing pressure in veins
Peripheral Vascular Disease
V: Voluptuous pulses (warm legs) E: Edema (blood pooling) I: Irregularly shaped sores (exotic pools) N: No sharp pain (dull pain) Y: Yellow and brown ankles
Peripheral Arterial Disease
A: Absent Pulse, absent hair (shiny, cool legs)
R: Round, red sores (rubor)
T: Toes and feet pale or black eschar
S: Sharp calf pain (pain while exercising) (Intermittent Claudication)
Braden Scale
assess risk factors such as sensory perception, moisture, activity level, mobility, nutrition, amount of friction and shear. In short, it tells us who is at risk for developing a hospital or facility acquired pressure ulcer/injury. Helps nurse initiate plans to avoid skin breakdown. It helps us understand what stage a person is in as well. It calculates the pressure sore risk.
TEDS
Thrombo Emboli Deterrent, which are stockings that help prevent venous thrombus event/formation. Its stockings for a patient’s leg to facilitate the return of venous blood to the heart. They help stop blood clots from forming. They support the venous and lymphatic drainage of the leg
Paralysis
Loss of movement
Paresthesia
Numbness/tingling
Polar
Temperature
