Health Assessment II Flashcards
receives venous blood from the superior and inferior vena cava and pump into the right ventricle
right atrium
serves to pump the un-oxygenated blood to the pulmonary circulation and lunges where fresh oxygen is available
right ventricle
receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins and pumps this blood into the left ventricle
left atrium
pumps oxygenated blood (arterial blood) to all areas of the body to maintain tissue oxygenation
left ventricle
Heart sound locations
Aortic Pulmonic Erbs point (where murmurs are heard) Tricuspid Mitral
dull low pitch sound occurs when the mitral and tricupsid valve closes. (heard best at mitral area)
Lub (S1)
high pitch sound occurs when the aortic and pulmonic valve closes. (heard best at pulmonic area)
Dub (S2)
occurs because blood is not flowing correctly from the atrium into the ventricle so it’s basically impaired ventricular filling.
Gallop sounds
occurs during rapid ventricular filing ; common in children and young adults (kentuckY)
S3
heard during atrial contraction (may be heard in the elderly with hypertension) TENessee
S4
created by turbulent blood flow due to a defective valve, congenital defect, increased blood flow (heard best at Erb’s Point (third intercostal space))
Murmur
grating sound heard when pericardial layers rub against each other; percariditis
Percaridal Friction Rub
When assessing the abdmonial what order should you do it in?
Inspect, Auscultate, Palpate, Purcuss
look, listen, then feel
How do bowel sounds typically sound?
high pitch, gurgly type noises
one gurgle high pitch sound per minute; decreased mobility in the bowel
hypoactive , less active
