,accessory muscles - Answer -The secondary muscles of respiration. They include the neck
muscles (sternocleidomastoids), the chest pectoralis major muscles, and the abdominal
muscles.
auscultate - Answer -To listen to sounds within an organ with a stethoscope.
AVPU scale - Answer -A method of assessing the level of consciousness by determining whether
the patient is awake and alert, responsive to verbal stimuli or pain, or unresponsive; used

breath sounds - Answer -An indication of air movement in the lungs, usually assessed with a
stethoscope.
capillary refill - Answer -A test that evaluates distal circulatory system function by squeezing

,capnography - Answer -A noninvasive method to quickly and efficiently provide information on
a patient's ventilatory status, circulation, and metabolism; effectively measures the

chief complaint - Answer -The reason a patient called for help; also, the patient's response to

DCAP-BTLS - Answer -deformities, contusions, abrasions, punctures, burns, tenderness,
lacerations, swelling
diaphoretic - Answer -Characterized by profuse sweating.
diastolic pressure - Answer -occurs when the ventricles are relaxed; the lowest pressure against
the walls of an artery
End Tital CO2 - Answer -the amount of carbon dioxide present in an exhaled breath
focused assessment - Answer -A type of physical assessment that is typically performed on
patients who have sustained nonsignificant mechanisms of injury or on responsive medical
patients. This type of examination is based on the chief complaint and focuses on one body
system or part.
