PCM Flashcards
4 things to gain objective information
Inspection
Auscultation
Percussion
Palpation
Inspection
look at your patient
are they responsive?
are they agitated
do they look sick?
Auscultation
heart lungs abdomen, vessels
Lungs: deep breath in and out through mouth at each lung lobe location
Percussion
Dull = fluid Flat= solid Tympanic = air
Palpation
always check bilaterally
How to use opthalmoscope
r eye to r eye, start lateral and move medial. look for red reflex
Direct pupil light reflex
that pupil constricts vs consensual: light in eye 1 -> constriction of eye 2
Otoscope
Adults: pull ear up out and away
kids- pull down out and away
look for cone of light on tympanic membrane
Snellen chart
visual acuity hold at 14 inches from eyes
normal is 20/20
BP cuff
wrap cuff over brachial artery, 1st sound = systole or 1st korotkoff sound- 2nd sound is diastole or 2nd korotkoff sound
Tuning fork
air conduction should be greater than bone conduction
=rinne test
can also be used on the knee cap to test vibratory sense b/l
reflex hammer
Graded from 0 to 4 2 is normal hypo and hyper UE: C5 C6 C7 LE: L4 and S1
stethoscope
bell= bruits (low pitched sounds) diaphragm= high pitched sounds
Gloves
always use clean gloves
wash hands before and after
Coronal plane
front and back halves
AP axis
Transverse plane
top and bottom
Longitudinal axis
Sagittal plane
left and right halves
transverse plane
gravitational line
external auditory meatus, lateral head of the humerus, 3rd lumbar vertebra, anterior 3rd of sacrum, greater trochanter, lateral condyle of the knee, lateral malleolus
scoliosis
s shaped body curve (lateral curve)-> sidebending = coronal plane and AP axis
Rotated spine
looking a different direction, bent forward/flexion = transverse plane and longitudinal axis
Lordosis and kyphosis
exaggerated curves in the sagittal plane and transverse axis
pectus excavatum
funnel chest or abnormal depression in sternum
pectus carinatum
pigeon chest
what curves do the cervical and lumbar spine have?
Lordosis
what curves do the thoracic and sacrum have
Kyphosis
What does OPPQQRST-A stand for
Onset palliative factors provocative factors quality quantity Rating severity timing associated symptoms
What does OLD CAAARTS stand for
Onset location duration characterization associated symptoms aggravating alleviating radiation timing severity
What goes into the subjective portion of the soap note?
Anything you got from talking to the patient
What goes into the objective portion of the soap note?
anything you got from the physical exam or you see
What goes into the assessment portion of the soap note?
relating it to diagnosis
What goes into the plan portion of the soap note?
what you will do for them
what does NURS stand for?
Name the emotion
Understanding statement
Respect the patient
Offer support
What does CAGE stand for?
ever need to Cut down?
ever feel Annoyed?
ever felt Guilty about drinking?
ever need a morning Eye opener
5Ps of sexual history
Partners Prevention of pregnancy Protection from STDs Practices Past history of STDs
SAFE questions
Stress/ safety
Afraid/ Abused
Friends/Family
Emergency Plan
Faith: FICA
Faith and believe : do you consider yourself a religious person
Importance: what importance does faith have in your life?
Community: are you a part of a spiritual or religious community?
Address in care: asking them if they want you to address these issues in their care
repeated stresses can result in the breakdown of a structure. What is this called?
Fatigue
What are the chronic somatic dysfunction characteristics?
Fibrosis, Contracture, Skin is thin, dry, cool. Muscles may feel fibrotic
What is the SAID principle?
Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand
Three sub segmented units
Core
Shoulder girdle
Pelvic girdle
Borelli
Center of gravity
Measured inspired and expired air volumes
Muscle driven inspiration
Four ways machines function
Balance multiple forces
Enhance force in an attempt to reduce total force needed to overcome resistance
Enhance range of motion and speed of movement so that resistance may be moved further or faster than applied force
Alter resulting direction of the applied force
Three type sod machines
Levers - torque and length
wheel axles- function as a form of a lever
Pulleys- single pulleys function to change effective direction of force application
Relaxation
As the matrix of a segment reaches equilibrium or a neutral position the load necessary to maintain the length of a segment will decrease = relaxation
Strength
Amount of force needed to contract a muscle
dependent on degree of resistance experienced (load)
Produces rotation (torque)
Joint reaction force
The sum of the separate moments together with the force of the contraction muscle directed into the joint
External applied force
Produced from outside the body, and originate from gravity inertia or direct contact
Ground reaction forces- the force exerted by the ground on a body in contact with the ground
Tissue deformation may result from external forces but can result from internally generated forces
Magnitude and combination of vectors leads to a resultant applied force
Internal applied force
Force generated to achieve limb movement ie muscle contraction
Vertical load- summative weight transmitted through the kinetic chain to the ground
Friction- force that results from the resistance between surfaces of two objects from moving upon one another
To prevent injury
The body must absorb and dissipate energy from both internal and external forces
moment
Force being applied plus the moment arm (work = force x distance)
stiffness
The amount fo force necessary to bend an object
viscosity
Related to its water content- rapid stretch has increased resistance, slower stretch (creep) has decreased resistance
Load
The sum of stresses on an object- can result in tissue deformation
Fibrous joints
Connected by dense fibrous tissue Motion is greatly limited Tow suture edge types squamous (overlapping) Serrated (interlocking)
cartilaginous joints
Two surfaces united by fribrocartilaginous discs Small amount of rocking and sliding Two subtypes hyaline fibrocartilage
synovial
Most common joint
Separated by fluid contain joint cavity
Freely mobile
Articular surfaces are covered with healing cartilage
synovial membrane lines joint capsule and secretes a viscous fluid to nourish and lubricate the healing cartilage
Plane joint
Minimal sliding
triquetrum pisiform
hinge joint
ginglymus
Allows large degree of freedom in one plane
Elbow joint
saddle/sellar
One concave and one convex bone allowing motion in all planes
thumb
Ellipsoid-
head is ellipsoid: greater motion than condylar butyl less spheroid ie radiocarpal
condylar
Partial flattening of both articular surfaces that limits motion is metacarpal/phalangeal
Ball and socket
Greatest range of motion- hip
Pivot/ trochoid
Primary motion is rotation
Ie atlas and axis
