Sx:
* Dehydration
* Sepsis
* Hemorrhage
* Toxins
* Hormonal abnormalities
* Eating disorders

A

Hypotension

120
Q

(Primary or Secondary Hypertension)

  • Renal retention of excess sodium (Na+)
  • Increased peripheral vascular resistance
  • Alteration in the renin-angiotensin system
A

Primary Hypertension

121
Q

It is the greatest pressure that cardiac systole causes in the brachial artery. It is approximately equal to the pressure that the blood exerts against the wall of the artery from the inside

A

Systolic Blood Pressure

(N) for adult = <120 mm Hg

122
Q

A condition in which systolic pressure is above 140 mm Hg

A

Hypertension

123
Q

The sever drop in systolic pressure

A

Shock

124
Q

Series of sound heard through the stethoscope when
measuring BP

A

Korotkoff’s sound

  • having five phases
    Phase I = Systolic BP (SBP)
    Phase V = DBP
125
Q

(Normal or Abnormal)

Diastolic pressure increases more than 10 to
15mmHG during exercise

A

Abnormal

126
Q

Is a complex unpleasant phenomenon composed of
sensory experiences that include time, space,
intensity, emotion, cognition, and motivation

A

Pain

Pain that is perceived as if it were coming from somewhere else in the body

A

Referred pain

133
Q

Afferent neurons that carry pain messages

A

Nociceptors

134
Q

Pain with cause (usually known) localized in the body tissue
-nociceptive pain
-neuropathic pain

A

Somatogenic pain

135
Q

Pain for which there is no known physical cause but processing of sensitive information in CNS is disturbed

A

Psychogenic pain

136
Q

Is a protective mechanism that alerts the individual to a condition or experience that is immediately harmful to the body

A

Acute pain

is:
- less than 6 weeks
- incidence common
- well defined
- reasonably easy to assess
- known cause/treatable
- focused on the pain
- pain is a “symptom”

137
Q

Often unable to define cause and is the exact opposite of acute pain as it sees pain as a “disease”

A

Chronic pain
