What interventions would be appropriate for the assistive personnel to accomplish during
the bath? - CORRECT ANSWER=providing ROM exercises to extremities, providing special
skin care
what are communicable diseases? - CORRECT ANSWER=when an infectious disease can
be transmitted from person to person
what is virulence? - CORRECT ANSWER=an organism's ability to produce disease
what are the four stages of infection? - CORRECT ANSWER=incubation, prodromal, illness,
and convalescence
what is the incubation period? - CORRECT ANSWER=the interval between when a
pathogen first enters the body, and the appearance of the first symptom
,2 | Page
what is the prodromal stage? - CORRECT ANSWER=interval between nonspecific signs
and symptoms and more specific symptoms, where microorganisms grow and multiply and
disease can be spread
what is the illness stage? - CORRECT ANSWER=interval where a patient's symptoms are
specific to their type of infection
what is the convalescence stage? - CORRECT ANSWER=interval when acute symptoms of
infection disappear (recovery phase)
what are exogenous infections? - CORRECT ANSWER=comes from microorganisms found
outside the body (ex: salmonella, clostridium tetani, aspergillus)
what is an endogenous infection? - CORRECT ANSWER=when normal flora is altered and
an overgrowth occurs, can happen with broad-spectrum antibiotics (ex: staphylococci,
enterococci, yeasts, streptococci)
infectious process- incubation period - CORRECT ANSWER=the period between exposure
to an infection and the appearance of the first symptoms (asymptomatic period)
infectious process- prodromal stage - CORRECT ANSWER=Time interval from the onset of

what factors influence pulse - CORRECT ANSWER=Exercise
Temperature
Acute pain
Emotions
Drugs
Hemorrhage
Position changes
Pulmonary conditions
factors that influence pulse: temperature - CORRECT ANSWER=fever and heat
increase pulse hypothermia decrease pulse
factors that influence pulse: acute pain - CORRECT ANSWER=increase in sympathetic
activity will increase HR
effects of chronic pain/parasympathetic stimulation increases by unrelieved pain which
decreases HR
factors that influence pulse: emotions - CORRECT ANSWER=SNS increase pulse (anxiety)
PNS decrease pulse
factors that influence pulse: medications - CORRECT ANSWER=epinephrine- increase HR
beta adrenergic and CC blockers decrease HR
factors that influence pulse: hemorrhage - CORRECT ANSWER=sympathetic stimulation by
loss of blood increases HR
, 4 | Page
factors that influence pulse: postural changes - CORRECT ANSWER=stand: increases HR
lying down: decreases HR
factors that influence pulse: pulmonary conditions - CORRECT ANSWER=(asthma, COPD)-
-> increased HR due to poor oxygenation
tachycardia - CORRECT ANSWER=Abnormally rapid HR >100bpm
Bradycardia - CORRECT ANSWER=abnormally slow HR <60bpm
dysrhythmia - CORRECT ANSWER=Abnormal heart rhythm/missed beats
normal respiration range - CORRECT ANSWER=12-20 breaths per minute
deep and regular
as you age you need _____ breaths/min - CORRECT ANSWER=less
factors affecting respiration - CORRECT ANSWER=acute pain
exercise anxiety
smoking body position
medications
neurological injuries
hemoglobin function
