Test 1 and Test 2 Review Flashcards
Referred Pain
pain can originate in part of the body but be perceived in a distant organ
Gate Theory of pain
recognizers the relationship between pain and emotions
ex. stub toe- won’t grab toe you will grab foot
Phantom pain
may occur in someone who has lost a limb - may feel burning, crushing, cramping or twisted
Psychogenic pain
physical pain that cannot be identified
Ex. Sex abuse
Intractable pain
persistant pain that is resistant to therapy
Nociceptive pain
only respond to tissue damage or other intense chemical, mechanical, or thermal stimulation:
3 types
Somatic - deep pain ligaments, bones, tendons
Cutaneous - skin/subcutaneous
Visceral - organ pain
What does NIPS assess?
Neonatal
Infant
Pain
Scale
Newborn babies - rates babies on a scale of 0-1 with regard to breathing pattern, arms and leg movement, state of arousal, and crying (0-2) Higher the score can indicate problems
Mechanisms of pain
Transduction
Transmission
Perception
Modulation of Pain
What are things to remember when lifting?
Avoid twisting the thoracic spite and avoid flexion of the back; want to use the longest and strongest muscles (legs and arms) Tighten your abdominals and keep the object your going to life close to you/in your center of gravity
What are the 4 Ps to prevent fall
Every 2 hours assess:
Pain, Potty, Positiong, (IV) Pump Safety
Where is S2 best heard
at the base of the heart
**remember the base is at the top of the heart
SL closure
beginning of diastole
Where is S1 best heard?
at the Apex of the heart
** apex is at the 5th ICS below the base
AV closure
beginning of systole
Dextrocardia
when the heart is on the right side of the body and not the left
Bruits
abnormal sounds that can indicate a murmur or build up of plaque in the carotid artery (should normally sound like the ocean)
During percussion flatness is heard over
muscle/bone
During percussion tympanic is heard over
abdominals
During percussion resonance is heard over
lungs
During percussion dullness is heard over
a full bladder, lungs that might have fluid or mass in them
normal in spleen and liver
All People Eat Turkey Meat
Apical Pulmonic (2nd ICS) Erbs Point (3rd ICS) Tricuspid 4th/5th ICS (4th in kids) Mitral/Apex (5th ICS)
How long would you want to listen to an apical pulse for
60 seconds
xanthelasma
fat deposits above eye lids (cardiac assessment)
**means they have an elevated lipid level
arcus senilis
whitish round color around the eye (typically normal in older adults)
What are the normal respiratory rates
12-20 breaths
What are the 6 vital signs

Normal pulse rates
newborns/babies 120-160bpm
adults 60-100bpm
What are 2 places to assess rate in peripheral pulses
radial and apical
