health assessment final exam
__ weeks primitive lung emerges
___ weeks conducting airways reach same # as in adults
___ weeks surfactant is present in adequate amounts - ...5;16;32
aging adult considerations - p.40
biggest fear is losing independence
avoid elder speak
allow more time for interview
collect most important data first, allow for multiple meetings
adjust pace; allow time to answer questions fully
allen test - Determining the patency of the radial and ulnar arteries by compressing one
artery site and observing return of skin color as evidence of patency of the other artery
allis test - - used to check hip dislocation by comparing leg lengths.
-place baby's feet flat on the table, and flex the knees up.
-knees should be at same elevation
aortic pulse - pulse located at the right 2nd intercostal space
apices of lung - 3-4 cm above the clavicle
babinski reflex - extension upward of the toes when the sole of the foot is stroked firmly
on the outer side from the heel to the front
ex.normal in infants under the age of 2 years but a sign of brain or spinal cord injury in
older persons
basal cell carcinoma - usually starts as a skin colored papule (may be deeply pigmented
with a pearly translucent top and overly telangiectasia. then develops rounded, pearly
borders with central red ulcer, or looks like large open pore with central yellowing. most
common form of skin cancer slow but inexorable growth. basal cell cancers occur on
sun exposed areas of face ears scalp and shoulders
base of lung - lower border of lung; rests on the diaphragm at about the sixth rib in the
midclavicular line (T 10 posteriorly)
beginning of breast development precedes menarche by ___ years - 2
Bell's palsy - temporary paralysis of the seventh cranial nerve that causes drooping only
on the affected side of the face
, black tarry stools significance? - occult blood upper GI
brainstem - region of the brain that serves as a relay between the cerebrum,
cerebellum, and spinal cord; responsible for breathing, heart rate, and body
temperature; the three levels are the mesencephalon (midbrain), pons, and medulla
oblongata
breast abnormalities - dimpling
edema
fixation
deviation
BBD
cancer
fibroadenoma
mammory duct ectasia
intraductal papilloma
pagets disease
mastitis
breast absess
gynecomastia
breathing problems in babies - tachypnea
bradypnea
respiratory distress syndrome
bacterial infection
broca's aphsia - can understand language but cannot express it himself nonfluent,
dysarthic, effortful speech
bronchophony - normal= soft muffled indistinct
abnormal= more distinct
Increase in intensity and clarity of the vocal resonance that may result from an increase
in the lung tissue density, such as in the consolidation of PNEUMONIA
carcinoma(p 702) - begins as red raised WARTY GROWTH or as an ulcer with watery
discharge
as it grows it may necrose and slough
usually painless
almsot always on glans or inner lip of foreskin and enlarged lymph nodes are common
cerebellum - the "little brain" at the rear of the brainstem; functions include processing
sensory input and coordinating movement output and balance.
cerebrum - largest part of the brain; responsible for voluntary muscular activity, vision,
speech, taste, hearing, thought, and memory
