19
Q

What causes the S3 heart sound?

A

Decreased compliance of the ventricles, rapid deceleration of blood entering the ventricles

20
Q

What causes the S4 sound?

A

Atrial contraction

21
Q

What is pulsus alternans?

A

When pulse rhythm is normal but force of arterial pulse alternates between strong and weak, most often due to left-sided heart failure

22
Q

What is paradoxical pulse?

A

3-4 mmHg drop in systolic BP during inspiration

23
Q

What is the Allen test?

A

Tests patency of the ulnar artery.
Have patient make a tight fist, then compress both ulnar and radial arteries. Have patient relax hand, and release the ulnar artery. If patent’s ulnar artery is patent, 3-5 seconds later the hand flushes.

24
Q

What does the Trendelenberg test assess?

A

Valvular competency in the leg

25
Q

What is Rovsing’s sign?

A

Pressing left lower quadrant causes referred pain in the right lower quadrant - test for appendicitis

26
Q

What is an obturator sign?

A

Pain during flexion and internal rotation of the hip - test for appendicitis

27
Q

What is cutaneous hyperesthesia?

A

Pain when lifting skin of abdominal wall

28
Q

How do you test for acute cholecystitis?

A

Look for Murphy’s Sign - hook fingers of hand under costal margin, ask patient to breathe in
Pain/tenderness at a certain point of inspiration is a positive Murphy’s sign

29
Q

What is Tinel’s sign?

A

Lateral deviation of the big toe, more common in women

34
Q

What is Morton’s neuroma?

A

Tenderness over plantar surface of the 3rd and 4th metatarsal heads and associated numbness or pain

35
Q

What nerve roots are involved in biceps reflex?

36
Q

What nerve roots are involved in triceps reflex?

37
Q

What nerve roots are involved in abdominal reflex?

A

T8-10 upper, T10-T12 lower

38
Q

What nerve roots are involved in knee reflex?

39

A

Hip and knee reaction on neck flexion

42
Q

What is Kernig’s sign?

A

Discomfort behind the knee on extension

43
Q

How is asterixis tested?

A

Have patient outstretch arms and extend hands, holding for 1-2 minutes. Twitching of hands = asterixis, indicating problem with diencephalic motor centers of brain
