NU 650 Final Exam SG
ABCDE s of melanoma - -asymmetry, border, colour, diameter, evolution
- Allen test - -determining the patency of the radial and ulnar arteries
by compressing one artery site and observing return of skin colour as
evidence of patency of the other artery
- Allis test - -used to check for hip dislocation in infants by comparing
leg lengths. Place on back on the table with feet flat on the table and flex
knees up. Looking for uneven/even height of knees.
- anatomic snuffbox - -landmark depression on the radial aspect of the
dorsal wrist; overlays the scaphoid bone
- Annular - -ring-shaped
- Aortic regurgitation murmur - -early diastolic murmur-high pitched
"blowing"
- aortic stenosis murmur - -second right intercostal, crescendo-
decrescendo
- AP diameter of chest - -1:2 (AP less than transverse)
- Appendicitis signs and symptoms - -Pain in the periumbilical area that
descends to the right lower quadrant.
Rebound tenderness and abdominal rigidity
Low-grade fever
Elevated WBC
Anorexia, nausea and vomiting
Constipation or diarrhea
- AS SAD - -Aortic stenosis syncope, angina, dyspnoea
- assessment of hernia - -pt may report a lump. observe pt while lying
and standing, hernia may disappear while lying. ask pt to strain or
perform Valsalva manoeuvre and observe for bulging. absent bowel
sounds may indicate strangulation.
- Babinski reflex - -in response to the sole of the foot being stroked, a
baby's big toe moves upward or toward the top surface of the foot and the
other toes fan out
, - Baker's cyst - -accumulation of synovial fluid in the knee joint
- Ballottement
sign - -medical sign which indicates increased fluid over the patella at
the knee joint
- barrel chest - -COPD
- birthmarks, nevus - -red from hemangioma, a proliferation of blood
vessels, brown from nevus, a mole or birthmark from overgrowth of
melanin-forming cells
- blowing sounds murmur - -regurgitation
- Blumberg Sign: Rebound Test - -peritoneal inflammation, hurts more
when release from palpation
- bow-legged - -knees too far apart
- breast cancer - -a carcinoma that develops from the cells of the breast
and can spread to adjacent lymph nodes and other body sites, nodular,
fixed, non mobile
- breast cancer risk factors - -age, family history, early menses, null/late
parity, hormone replacement
- breast self-examination - -a self-care procedure for the early detection
of breast cancer, raise arms for retraction or dimpling, best done 5-7 days
after period
- bronchial sounds - -those heard over the trachea; high in pitch and
intensity, with expiration being longer than inspiration
- Bronchophony - -the spoken voice sound heard through the
stethoscope, which sounds soft, muffled, and indistinct over normal lung
tissue, clearer over disease
- bronchovesicular breath sounds - -medium-pitched and quieter sounds
normally heard over the mainstem bronchi
- Cafe au lait spots - -Smooth edged tan-to-brown pigmentations on the
skin seen in NF1
- cardinal signs of Musculoskeletal disease - -pain, erythema, swelling,
increased warmth, deformity, loss of function
