32
Q

Orthostatic BP and common causes

A

low BP when rising up; CANT DELEGATE

Cause- dehydration, anemia, prolonged bed rest, recent blood loss, meds

In this order!!!!!!

TPR
BP
O2 saturation

34

Normal temp range

A

96.8-100.4

35
Q

Most important factor in infection control

A

Temp assessment

36
Q

Pyrexic

A

Febrile (fever)

37
Q

Circadian rhythm

A

Temp varies with TOD

higher temps mid-day/early evening

38
Q

Radiation

A

Transfer of body heat to other object w/o direct contact

39
Q

Conduction

A

Transfer of body heat to cooler object with direct contact

40
Q

Convection

CONVection —> CONVince Alex not to use fan

41
Q

Evaporation

A

Continuous, unnoticed water loss from skin and lungs

42
Q

Diaphoresis

A

Visible perspiration

43
Q

Hyperthermia

A

Increase metabolism, urine looks concentrated, dry mouth, WBC count high if infection

44
Q

Symptoms of fever

A

Increase temp, pulses and respirations, shivering, pallid (cold skin), flushed, increased thirst, dehydration, loss of appetite, drowsiness/restlessness

45
Q

Symptoms of hypothermia

A

Decrease temp, pulse and respirations, pale cool skin, frostbite, decreased urine output, hypotension (low BP) disorientation

46

9 pulse sights

A 
Temporal
Carotid
Apical
Brachial
Radial
Femoral
Popliteal
Dorsalis pedis 
Posterior tibial
47

48
Q

Pulse and respirations average rate

A

Pulse 60-100

Respirations 12-20

49
Q

Apical vs radial pulse

A

Never equal, apical is NEVER less than radial. The difference btwn two is pulse deficit

50
Q

Tachycardia and what’s related to

A

pulse > 100 bpm

Fever, blood loss, meds, stress
