NURS 6101 HealthAss - Intro/Documentation (EXAM 1)
Questions With Complete Solutions
Auscultation
(def) listening to sounds within the body, usually with a
stethoscope
respiratory rate
What is being measured when counting the number of
ventilatory cycles, inhalation and exhalation, each minute?
12 - 16 breaths (per minute)
what is the normal range of respiratory rates for healthy adults?
blood pressure
(def) force of blood against arterial walls
cardiac output, peripheral resistance
What does blood pressure reflect the relationship between?
cardiac output
(def) volume of blood ejected from heart each minute
peripheral resistance
(def) a force that opposes flow of blood through vessels, when
arteries are narrow this would mean this number is higher
mm Hg (millimeters of mercury)
what is blood pressure measured in? (units)
, systolic blood pressure
(def) maximum pressure exerted on arteries when ventricles
eject blood from the heart
diastolic blood pressure
(def) minimum amount of pressure exerted on the vessels when
ventricles of heart relax
<120/<80
what is a normal blood pressure?
pulse pressure
(def) the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure and
normally ranges from 30 to 40 mm Hg
age, gender, race
What are 3 factors that influence blood pressure?
emotion, pain, personal habits (caffeine/smoking), weight
What are 4 physiological factors that influence blood pressure?
pulse oximeter
How is oxygen saturation measured? - a device that estimates
oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in the blood
92% and above
What is the normal oxygen saturation for a healthy adult?
subjective data
