Horizontal field dividing the body into superior and inferior portions (transverse or horizontal plane)

44
Q

Coronal Plane

A

Vertical field passing through the body from side to side, dividing the body into anterior and posterior portions (frontal plane)

45
Q

Sagittal Plane

46
Q

Radiography

A

Produces an image of internal structures using ionizing radiation: the resulting images are called radiographs. Radiography, the procedure, and radiograph, the resulting image, are both called x-ray

47
Q

Computed Tomography

A

Produces a series of sectional images of internal structures using ionizing radiation; computer software assembles data into images called scans

48
Q

Magnetic Resonance

A

Produces images of internal structures using high strength magnetic fields; computer software assembles data into images called scans

49
Q

Nuclear Medicine

A

Produces images of internal structures using gamma rays emitted from radioactive material introduced to the bloodstream; computer software assembles data into images called scans

50
Q

Sonography

A

Produces images of internal structures using high frequency sound waves; computer software assembles data into images called scans

To the right and left of the epigastric region

55
Q

Hypogastric Region

A

Inferior to the umbilical region

56
Q

Iliac Region

A

To the right and left of the hypogastric region, near the groin (inguinal)

57
Q

Fowler Position

A

Semi-sitting position with slight elevation of the knees

58
Q

Orthopnea Position

A

Sitting upright in a chair or in bed supported by pillows behind the back. Sometimes the patient tilts forward resting on a pillow supported by an overbed table (orthopneic position)

59
Q

Prone Position

A

Lying on abdomen, facing downward (head may be turned to one side)

60
Q

Sims Position

A

Lying on side in a semi-prone position with the knee drawn up toward the chest and with the arm drawn back behind, parallel to the back. “Right” and “left” precede the term to indicate the patient’s ride or left side. Without indicator assume left side

61
Q

Supine Position

Q

Temporal

A

Palpate over the temporal bone on each side of the head, lateral to each eyebrow

76
Q

Carotid

A

Palpate the anterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, just medial and inferior to the angle of the jaw. To avoid reduction of blood flow, do not palpate right and left carotid pulses simultaneously

77
Q

Radial

A

Palpate anterolateral side of wrist, proximal to the first carpal-metacarpal junction

78
Q

Femoral

A

This pulse is inferior to the medial inguinal ligament; the pulse is found midway between anterosuperior iliac spine and pubic tubercle

79
Q

Posterior Tibial

A

This pulse is found posterior and slightly inferior to the medial malleolus of the ankle

80
Q

Dorsalis Pedis

A

With the foot slightly dorsiflexed, lightly palpate the dorsal surface of the foot, just lateral to the first metatarsal
