S1_L5_Obj - 2-4 Flashcards
Phase 2 is known as the _
soft swishing sound
phase 3 is known as the _
crisp sound
phase 4 is known as the _
blowing sound
after phase 4, what do u hear?
none, phase 5 is silence
what mmHg do u hear phase 1
120-110
what mmHg do u hear phase 2
110-100
what mmHg do u hear phase 3
100-90
what mmHg do u hear phase 4
90-80
what mmHg do u hear phase 5
<80
the BP cuff should be a _ machine
well-calibrated
the sphygmomanometer should be set at _
0 mmHg
Pt should be seated quietly for _ min before getting the BP
5 mins
what to refrain prior to taking BP
Refrain from smoking or ingesting caffeine 30 min prior
Refrain from smoking or ingesting caffeine _ min prior
30 mins
_ (rubber in the cuff) should encircle at least how many percent of
(lower or upper?) arm
bladder, 80%, upper
bladder should be how many inches above what landmark
1-2 inches above the antecubital fossa
__ of stethoscope should be tilted _; placed
above what artery
earpieces, forward, brachial artery
why does it need to be tilted forward?
Tilted forward to be aligned to eustachian tube
Quickly inflate to how many mmHg above what sound
> 20 mmHg above the 1st Korotkoff sound
If it’s the first time to meet pt or not sure of the baseline of pt, what to do?
palpate and locate pulse first and identify on what pressure does it disappear (more accurate than asking pt for baseline BP)
how many mmHg/second will u release the pressure?
slowly release the pressure, 2-3 mmHg/seconds
how many BP measurements will you take?
At least 2 measurements (minimum of 1-2 min apart), then
take the average
Decreased orthostatic tolerance is called
POSTURAL ORTHOSTATIC HYPOTENSION (OH)
postural OH is the sudden drop in SBP of at least _ or drop in DBP of
at least _ AND what percent increase in pulse rate
Sudden drop in SBP of at least 20 mmHg or drop in DBP of at least 10 mmHg
and 10-20% increase in pulse rate
