1). Afebrile
Ans: not feverish.
2). Apnea
Ans: is a term for suspension of external breathing.
3). Auscultatory gap
Ans: An auscultatory gap is a period of diminished or absent Korotkoff sounds during
the manual measurement of blood pressure. The improper interpretation of this gap may
lead to blood pressure monitoring errors: namely, an underestimation of systolic blood
pressure and/or an overestimation of diastolic blood pressure.
4). Korotkoff sounds
Ans: blood flow sounds that healthcare providers observe while taking blood pressure
with a sphygmomanometer over the brachial artery in the antecubital fossa. These
sounds appear and disappear as the blood pressure cuff is inflated and deflated.
5). Bradypnea
Ans: Abnormally slow breathing. A respiratory rate that is too slow.
6). Tachypnea
Ans: (or "tachypnoea") (Greek: "rapid breathing") is the condition of rapid breathing. In
adult humans at rest, any rate between 12 and 20 breaths per minute is normal and
tachypnea is indicated by a ventilatory rate greater than 20 breaths per minute
7). Bradycardia

, Ans: means that your heart beats very slowly. For most people, a heart rate of 60 to
100 beats a minute while at rest is considered normal. If your heart beats less than 60
times a minute, it is slower than normal.
8). Diastolic pressure
Ans: The diastolic blood pressure number or the bottom number indicates the pressure
in the arteries when the heart rests between beats.
A normal diastolic blood pressure number is less than 80.
A diastolic blood pressure between 80 and 89 indicates prehypertension.
A diastolic blood pressure number of 90 or higher is considered to be hypertension or
high blood pressure.
9). Systolic pressure
Ans: heart beats, it contracts and pushes blood through the arteries to the rest of the
body. This force creates pressure on the arteries. A normal systolic blood pressure is
below 120.
10). Orthostatic hypotension
Ans: also called postural hypotension — is a form of low blood pressure that happens
when you stand up from sitting or lying down.
11). Dyspnea
Ans: Dyspnea dyspnoea, shortness of breath or breathlessness is the feeling or
feelings associated with impaired breathing
12). Dysrhythmia
Ans: disturbance of rhythm.
abnormal cardiac rhythm; the term arrhythmia is usually used, even for abnormal but
regular rhythms.dysrhythmic
