what is the normal blood pressure of an adult - ANSWER 120/80
What does a lower heart rate mean - ANSWER More efficient heart
function
Better cardiovascular fitness
Beats per minute (bpm) - ANSWER 60 - 100 bpm normal
40 - 60 bpm for a well-trained athlete
Above 100 bpm = - ANSWER tachycardia
Fast pulse = - ANSWER infection or dehydration
Emergencituations = determine if heart eis still pumping
A pulse that is hard to feel =
common with what type of patients - ANSWER Indicate blockages in the
artery
Common in individuals with diabetes or atherosclerosis
Newborn infants = - ANSWER 100 - 160 bpm
Children (1 - 10 yrs old) = - ANSWER 70 - 120 bpm
Factors influencing heart rate: - ANSWER Activity level
Fitness level
Air temperature
Body position
Emotions
Body size
Medication use
Age
, Listening to your heart - ANSWER Rate and rhythm
Value functioning
Anatomical defects
auscultation sites - ANSWER Artery passes close to the skin
Back of the knees
Groin
Neck
Temple
To or inner side of the foot
Wrist
Types of measurement: - ANSWER Auscultation
Palpations
Electrocardiography (ECG/EKG)
First pulse is counted as 0
Children over 10 yrs old and adults = - ANSWER 60 - 100 bpm
Well-trained athletes = - ANSWER 40 - 60 bpm
Under 60 bpm = - ANSWER bradycardia
blood pressure is measured in - ANSWER mm/Hg (millimeters of
mercury)
the systolic blood pressure represents the amount of pressure in the
arteries when the ventricles' - ANSWER contracts.
the force of the blood being pushed through the arteries.
the phase in the cardiac cycle in which the heart relaxes - ANSWER
diastolic
what does blood pressure measure - ANSWER the force of blood
against arterial walls during the systolic and diastolic phases of the
heartbeat
