mini assessment 3 Flashcards
Patient Assesment
- history
- exam
- rad
- assesment
- treatment plan
- treatment
- prescription
Vital Signs
- measure most basic body functions
- BP, pulse, temp, resp rate
measuring BP
- force on artery walls
- look for anything that can cause orthostatic hypotension
- change chair position slowly so they can get equilibrium
- no clutter w/ easy exit and entrance
- systole= contraction
- diastole= dilation
BP devices
1-auscultatory
2-oscillometric
3-measuring BP
1-measures sounds—korotkoffs sounds (stethoscope and cuff)
2-measurement of vibrations—automatic inflation
3-cuff/stethoscope, finger measurement, wrist measurement
Seating Patient for BP
- upright
- go to bathroom before
- factor in nervousness
- feet on floor
- arm at heart level—relaxed/supported
- place cuff in front of elbow (antecubital)
BP errors
1-too narrow/short
2-too loose
3-patient raises arm
4-arm too low
5-arm too high
6-rapid deflation
7-congestion of arm
1-false high
2-false high
3-false high diastolic
4-false high
5-flase low
6-low SP/ high DP
7-low SP/ high DP
Contraindications of BP
- lymphadema?—dont take BP on arm take on other arm
- ask to see if had surgery that infects lymph flow
-no upper limits for BP
Normal BP vs others
- normal bp= 120/80
- high bp= 120-139/80-89 (prehyp)
- mild bp= 140-159/90-99 (stage 1)
- severe bp= 160/greater than 100 (stage 2)
symptoms= headache, dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, chest pain
Control BP
- smoking cessation
- lose weight
- relax
- decrease caffeine
- exercise
oral side effect of antihypertensive drugs
- dry mouth
- mouth ulcers
- enlarged gums bc of Ca channel blockers
Pulse—heart rate
- radial artery (near wrist), carotid artery, or brachial artery
- dont use thumb

- insert test strip into glucometer w/ electrode up
- make sure it shows control #
- use finger not normally used
