OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT (3)
● Systems Review
● Physical examination
● Tests and Measures
rate at which the heart beats, or contracts (direct)
HR
number of times your arteries create a noticeable “pulse” due to increase
in blood pressure as a result of your heart contracting (indirect)
PR
Direct performance of the heart; rhythm
HR
Observing the peripheral arteries
PR
_ is essentially the HR for normal, healthy heart
PR
In CPR pts, There are discrepancies between the HR and the PR. t or.f
t
times when HR is higher than PR:
obstructions
normal PR:
60-100 bpm (resting value for adults)
for healthy pts, HR should be higher than PR t or f
f, equal lang dapat
> 100 bpm
Tachycardia
<60 bpm
bradycardia
<60 bpm for athletes/very active
individuals is considered bardycardia t or f
f
Irregular rate is called:
dysrhythmia
how to measure HR?
use of stethoscope, ECG recording
ECG leads are placed over the _ to get _ activity of the heart
chest, electrical
how to measure PR?
palpation of pulse, pulse oximeter/pulsemeter
Mobile phones cannot detect PR through sensors
(pulse meters) t or f
f, can detect
Pulse oximeter is placed in _
fingers
Pulse Strength / Amplitude Grading:
0, 1+, 2+, 3+, 4+
pulse strength: absent, not palpable
0
pulse strength: Bounding, too strong to obliterate
4+
pulse strength: Easily palpable, normal
2+
pulse strength: Full pulse, increased strength
3+
pulse strength: Pulse diminished, barely palpable; weak, thready
1+
2+ of brachial is different from 2+ of popliteal t or f
t
Having a _ experience is important for
establishing how to assess what the normal is.
baseline
Pulse sites for PR (8):
temporal
carotid
brachial
radial
femoral
popliteal
dorsalis pedis
posterior tibial
at the temple
temporal
found at the neck
carotid
found at the forearm
radial
found in the femoral triangle
femoral
difficult to palpate;
popliteal
deepest among the
others
popliteal
popliteal pulse is palplated in what position?
palpated in prone c flexed knee
popliteal pulse is found deep in the _
popliteal fossa
t or f dorsalis pedis is hard to palpate
f, easy to palpate
dorsalis pedis pulse is found where
dorsal aspect between 1st and 2nd metatarsal
