TEST 3 Flashcards
What are the subjective data questions you ask for heart?
Chest pain?
Dyspnea (trouble breathing)
Orthopnea (diff breathing laying flat)
Cough
Fatique
Cyanosis
Edema
Nocturia
Past history
Risk factors
What is different in IPPA for cardia?
No percuss for cardiac
What are we inspecting neck for?
Symmetry
Lumps
Pulsations
Jugular venous pulse - normal when laying flat/not normal when sitting up
What does a jugular venous pulse mean when sitting upright?
Increased pressure in heart
What does a Brutis mean if you hear it on carotid?
Carotid artery narrowing from plaque build up
What are you inspecting on precordium?
Shape, abnormalitlies, heave lift
What does it mean if you see heart pounding through chest?
Enlargment of heart at R or L ventricle —where ever you see it
Normal heart sounds are what frequency? Murmurs are heard with what frequency?
Normal - high - diaphragm
Murmur - low - bell
What are the 5 areas we asculatate heart sounds?
- Aortic
- Pulmonic
- Erbs point
- Tricuspid
- Mitral
What sound is S1?
Closure of AV valves
Loudest at apex
Beginning of systole
What sound is S2?
Closure of semilunar valves
loudest at base
end of systole
What are murmurs
Structural defects in valves or unusual openings in chambers resulting in backwash of blood going backward
When documenting murmurs what do you note?
Location - intercostal space, Arotic? mitral? what area
Timing - S1? S2? after?
What is a systolic murmur?
AFter S2.
Lubb swish dubb
What is a diastolic murmur?
After S2
lubb dubb swich
What are the gradings for murmurs?
1 - barely audible
2 - faint
3. Moderate, easy to hear
4. Loud w/ thrill
5. Very loud, can hear with part of stethoscope off chest, thrill
6. Loudest, can hear w/o stethoscpe. Thrill
What are the risk factors for cAD and stroke?
African america
High blood pressure
Smoking
High cholesterol
Obesity
diabetes
Decreased activity level
What defines heart failure?
Pump failure
Low Cardiac output >4-6l/min
Low BP
What signs are Left sided heart failure?
BACK UP IN LUNGS
Pulmonary congestion
Dyspnea
Orthopnea
What signs are Right sided heart failure?
BACK UP IN BODY TISSUES
Extremity edema
JVD
Kidneys retain water
**treatment diuretic
What are we assessing when looking at peripheral vascular system
?
Vessels transpoting blood, fluid or lumph
*Arteries/veins/lymph
What do arteries do?
High pressure system
Supply oxygen and nutrients to tissues
What arteries do we examine?
Temporal, carotid
Brachial, Radial
Femoral, popliteal, dorsalis pedis, posterior tibial
What are veins?
Parallel to arteries
Low pressure system
- Contracting skeletal muscles milk blood back to heart
- Pressure gradient
_Valves ensure unidirectional flow
What veins do we examin?
Jugular, subclavian
Cephalic, basilic, median cubital
Great saphenous, small saphenous
What is the lumphatic system?
Retrieves excess fluid from tissue spaces
Propelled by skeletal muscles contract, pressure changes when breathing, valves
What are the 2 main trunks of lymphatic system?
Right lymphatic duct - head
Thoracic ducts - left side and rest of body
What is the function of lymphatic system
-Conserve fluid and plasma proteins
-Major part of immune system
-Absorbs lipids from intestinal tract
What subjective data do we ask for perpherial vascular?
Do you any pain in arms or legs?
Any skin changes?
Swelling/edema
lymph node enlargement?
What would pain in arms and legs indicate?
Claudication - Part blockage, lack of oxygenated blood flow
What would skin changes indicate in peripheral vascular?
Poor circulation
If you touch a patient and they are cold what does it indicate?
Problem with circulation
What are the grades for edema?
1+ mild, slight indentation
2+ moderate, indent subsides rapidly
3+ deep, remains for short time, leg looks swollen
4+ very deep, indent last long time, leg very swollen
What are the risk factors for venous issues?
Prolonged standing or sitting
Prolonged bed rest
Hypercoaguable states
Vein wall trauma - IV’s
Obesity
Later months pregnancy
What are risk factors for arterial disease?
Older adults
Hypertension
Smoking
diabetes
INcrease lipid levels
Obesity
What are the differences between Arterial and Venous disease?
Arterial
Claudication
Relief w/ rest
Pale, cyanosis, pulseless, cool, atrophic
Ischemic ulcer
Venous
Pain with standing, sitting/end of day = worse
Relief w/ walking
Brown discoloration, red warm swollen - bc of blood pooling
Stasis ulcer
S1 is the closure of what valve?
Mitrial and tricuspid
Where does gas exchange take place?
Alveoli
The R and L lung have how many sections?
R - 3 RUL, RML, RLL
L - 2 LUL, LLL
