A

False. Athletes have lower HRs.

67
Q

68
Q

VITAL SIGNS

What instruments are used to measure the pulse rate?

A

Palpation of pulse, pulse oximeter/pulse meter
- Pulse meters: Mobile phones can detect PR through sensors
- Pulse oximeter - placed in finger

74
Q

VITAL SIGNS

T/F: To get the pulse, you must apply hard pressure on the area

A

False. Apply gentle pressure only (except for popliteal pulses).
- The less pressure you apply, the more you will be able to feel it
- If too hard = will obliterate the flow (push hard, feel less)

75
Q

VITAL SIGNS
Modified T/F: Bell of the stethoscope is for listening to high-pitch sounds, while the Diaphragm is for low-pitch sounds

A

FF

Bell of the stethoscope - for low pitch sounds
Diaphragm - high pitch sounds

76
Q

VITAL SIGNS

T/F: If pulses are diminished, use the bell of the stethoscope

A

True

77
Q

VITAL SIGNS

T/F: Full 60-second count is recommended for cardiopulmonary patients vs 30-sec multiplied by 2

A

TRUE

78
Q

VITAL SIGNS

What pulse site is being described?

~3.5 inches to the left of mid-sternum, in the 5th ICS, within an inch of the midclavicular line drawn parallel to sternum

A

Apical pulse

79
Q

VITAL SIGNS

Apical > Radial pulse indicates?

A

Blood pumped from left ventricle doesn’t reach the peripheral site or too weak

80
Q

VITAL SIGNS

How do you get the apical radial pulse?

A
  • 2 Examiners: 1 for apical (stethoscope), 1 for radial (palpation)
  • Count the pulse for 60 seconds
  • Should be done simultaneously
  • Compare results

A

Home BP Monitoring

86
Q

VITAL SIGNS

Suggested ACSM Guidelines for getting BP

A
  • Well-calibrated machine (sphygmomanometer at zero)
  • Pt should be seated quietly for 5 min
  • Refrain from smoking or ingesting caffeine 30 min prior
  • Bladder (rubber in the cuff) should encircle at least 80% of upper arm (1-2 inches above the antecubital fossa)
  • Earpieces of stethoscope should be tilted forward; placed above the brachial artery
  • Tilted forward to be aligned to eustachian tube
  • Quickly inflate to >20 mmHg above the 1st Korotkoff sound
  • If it’s the first time to meet pt or not sure of the baseline of pt, must palpate and locate pulse first and identify on what pressure does it disappear (more accurate than asking pt for baseline BP)
  • Slowly release pressure (2-3 mmHg/sec)
  • At least 2 measurements (minimum of 1-2 min apart), then take the average
87
Q

VITAL SIGNS
