Quiz 1d Flashcards
5 vital signs
BP, HR, RR, temp, pain
Where is BP highest?
Arteries
Where is bp lower and lowest?
Capillaries; veins
Bp: —/—
Systolic/diastolic
6 influences on BP
- Blood vol
- Elasticity of arteries
- Cardiac output
- Age
- Exercise
- Valsalva
Normal BP
<120/<80
Prehypertension BP
120-139/80-89
Hypertension stage 1
140-159/90-99
Hypertension stage 2
> 160/>100
What is pulse caused by?
A wave of blood in an artery created by contraction of LV
3 things to observe from pulse
Rate, rhythm, volume
6 factors that affect pulse
- Age
- Sex
- Emotion
- PA level
- Body size
- Systemic or local heat/cold
How many liters circulate through body each min?
5-6
3 reasons for positioning
- Prevent contractures
- Promote mobility
- Prevent pressure on skin, circulatory and neuronal structures
4 causes of pressure injuries
- Decreased sensation
- Increased moisture
- Sheering
- Ischemia
6 head and trunk BP that cause pressure injuries in supine
- Occ tuberosity
- Spine of scap
- Inf angle of scap
- Vert processes
- Sacrum
- Post iliac crest
5 head and trunk BP that cause pressure injuries in prone
- Forehead
- Lateral ear
- Acromion
- Sternum
- ASIS
3 head and trunk BP that cause pressure injuries in sitting
- Ischial tub
- Scapula
- Vertebral prominence

Medial epicondyle of humerus
UE BP that causes pressure injury in prone
Anterior head of humerus
4 LE BP that cause pressure injuries in supine
- Post calcaneus
- Greater troch
- Head of fib
- Malleolus
3 LE BP that cause pressure injuries in prone
- Patella
- Ridge of tibia
- Dorsum of foot
2 LE BPs that cause pressure injuries in side lying

4 common contracture sites
- Hip flexion; external rotation
- Knee flexion
- Ankle plantar flexion
- Shoulder adduction, internal rotation
3 precautions for positioning
- Avoid folds in linen
- Observe skin color
- Caution w bony prominences
THR precautions (5)
- No internal rotation
- No adduction
- No flexion at hip >90 degrees
- Consider surgical approach
- Scar area
3 TKR precautions
- No pillows under knee
- CPM device (continuous passive motion)
- Scar area
