60
Q

very high fever

A

hyperpyrexia

61
Q

A

hypothermia

62
Q

This is a wave of blood created by contraction of the left ventricle of the
heart. The heart is a pulsating pump, and the blood enters the arteries with
each heartbeat, causing pressure pulses or pulse waves. Generally, the pulse
wave represents the stroke volume and the compliance of the arteries.

A

Pulse

63
Q

pulse rate below 60 beats/min

A

Bradycardia–

64
Q

pulse rate of above 100 beats/min

A

Tachycardia

65
Q

what pulse are you listening to when using a sthethoscope

A

apical pulse

66
Q

how many pulses in the human body

A

9 pulse

67
Q

Is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the

atmosphere and the body.

A

respiration

68
Q

what is the normal rr in an adult

A

14-20

69
Q

This can be established by watching the movement of the chest. It is
generally described as normal, deep, or shallow.

A

Depth

70
Q

This is the force exerted by the blood against a vessel wall. Arterial blood
pressure is a measure of the pressure exerted by the blood as it flows through
the arteries. There are two blood pressure measures:

A

blood pressure

71
Q

This is the pressure of the blood because of contraction of

the ventricles, which is the height of the blood wave.

A

systolic pressure

72
Q

This is the pressure when the ventricles are at rest. It is the
lower pressure present at all times within the arteries.

A

diastolic pressure

73
Q

is an abnormally low blood pressure below 100min Hg systolic.

A

Hypotension
