HISTORY/PHYSICAL Flashcards
<p>Pulses measurements</p>
<p>0/4: absent 1/4: weakly palpated 2/4: normal 3/4: bounding 4/4: strongest, associated w/ thrill or bruit</p>
<p>bounding pulses </p>
<p>-assocated w/ wide pulse pressure (over 60mmHg difference)
- FACTS (causes)
- FEVER
- AORTIC INSUFFICIENCY
- COMPLETE HEART BLOCK
- THYROTOXIOSIS
- SYSTOLIC HYPERTENSION </p>
<p>which pulses should be reported?</p>
<p>ALWAYS dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial
| -also do: peroneal, popliteal, femoral </p>
<p>edema pitting vs non, how to perform exam?</p>
<p>-non pitting (protein rich exudate)
-pitting (protein poor)
-press down on leg for at least 5 seconds on an area of MAX swelling (pitting if over 5 seconds)
</p>
<p>scale of pitting edema </p>
<p>1+: indentation 2mm
2+: indentation 4mm
3+: indentation 6mm
4+: indentation 8mm </p>
a lesion less than 0.5cm, filled w/ pus is called?
-pustule

Muscle strength values
-5/5 normal
4/5: movement against resistance, but less than normal
3/5: movement against gravity but not resistance
2/5: movement at the joint but not against gravity
1/5: visible movement but not at the joint
0/5: no muscle movement
what is seen w/ early strength loss?
- extensor digitorum first to go
- dec of ankle dorsi and plantarflexion
what are the corticospinal/ pyramidal tract in charge of?
- voluntary movement
- fine, discrete, conscious movement
