Vitals.3 Flashcards
pressure of blood from ventricular contraction
systolic pressure
systolic pressure
pressure of blood from ventricular contraction
pressure when ventricles are at rest (low pressure)
diastolic pressure
diastolic pressure
pressure when ventricles are at rest (low oressure)
pulse pressure
difference between systolic and diastolic pressure
blood pressure increases in adults becase
inelasticity of arteries
bp persistently above norm
hypertension
orthostatic hypotension
blood pressure that falls when client sits or stands
blood pressure that falls when client sits or stands
orthostatic hypotension

bp cuff
the true systolic pressure fades away and reappears at a lower pressure point
auscultatory gap
auscultatory gap
the true systolic pressure fades away and reappears at a lower point
korotkoff phase 1
faint pressure, clear tapping
korotkoff phase 2
sounds are muffled
korotkoff phase 3
sound becomes crisp/thumping
korotkoff phase 4
sound has blowing quality
korotkoff phase 5
pressure when last sound is heard
eletronic bp measurements will be wrong if
bp is too low/high
have arrhythmia

McCaffery’s pain definition
Pain is whatever the patient says it is, existing whenever and wherever the patient says it is
