The maximum pressure exerted by blood in the arteries during the heart's contraction phase.

The minimum pressure exerted by blood in the arteries during the heart's relaxation phase.

The amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute.

The amount of blood ejected with each contraction of the heart.

Increased blood viscosity leads to increased resistance in blood vessels, resulting in higher blood pressure.

The ability of blood vessels to stretch and compress with blood flow, which helps regulate blood pressure.

The ability of blood vessels to accommodate blood flow without raising blood pressure.

The heart's ability to contract efficiently, measured by ejection fraction.

Blood pressure elevation caused by anxiety during measurement, often observed in healthcare settings.

Factors that contribute to blood pressure levels, such as age, genetics, weight, stress, and medications.

Factors influencing blood pressure that are not modifiable, such as age, genetics, and ethnicity.

Factors influencing blood pressure that are modifiable, such as weight, stress, and medications.

Blood pressure that is consistently high, defined as systolic pressure of 130 mm Hg or higher or diastolic pressure of 80 mm Hg or higher.

A category of hypertension where systolic pressure is between 120 and 129 mm Hg and diastolic pressure is less than 80 mm Hg.

Blood pressure that is consistently below the expected range, generally systolic pressure less than 90 mm Hg.

The act of determining the effectiveness of interventions by observing the client's response and comparing it to the baseline.

The resistance the heart must overcome to eject blood. Increased afterload can lead to heart hypertrophy and reduced contractility.

The pathway of blood flow through the heart, starting with deoxygenated blood from systemic circulation and ending with oxygenated blood returning to systemic circulation.

Blood pressure should be measured in clients over 3 years old or younger with pre-existing conditions. Accuracy in measurement is vital for making informed treatment decisions.

A device used to measure blood pressure, consisting of a cuff with an inflatable bladder connected to a manometer.

An instrument used for listening to sounds within the body, often used to detect Korotkoff sounds during blood pressure measurement.

A method of measuring blood pressure by feeling for the pulse instead of listening for sounds. It is used when Korotkoff sounds are difficult to hear.

The first pulsatile thrill felt during blood pressure measurement, indicating the estimated systolic blood pressure.

The point at which the pulsatile thrill disappears during blood pressure measurement, indicating the estimated diastolic blood pressure.

A drop in blood pressure when a person stands up from a lying or sitting position.

A condition that can cause dizziness and lightheadedness when standing up due to a sudden drop in blood pressure.

Anxiety, nicotine use, obesity, fear, older age, certain medications and medical conditions affecting blood volume or flow.

Observe the rise and fall of the client's chest for one full respiratory cycle, then multiply by 2.

Listen to the heart with a stethoscope at the apex of the heart and simultaneously palpate the radial artery at the wrist.

The apical-radial pulse technique is used to detect a weak peripheral pulse and helps to assess the difference between the apical pulse and the radial pulse.

The difference between the apical and radial pulse rates. This difference might suggest a weak pulse or other circulatory issues.

Prolonged sitting can increase the risk of orthostatic hypotension. It's important to encourage clients to move around and change positions regularly:

A condition where the body's core temperature drops due to prolonged cold exposure or inability to produce heat.

Shivering, impaired motor skills, and decreased peripheral blood flow.

Confusion, dilated pupils, loss of consciousness, and reflexes, as well as coma and cardiac arrest.

Increase room temperature, add clothing layers, and put a hat on the client's head.

Use warming mats/blankets, administer warmed IV fluids, and monitor core temperature frequently.

Age, health status, and environmental factors that could affect the client's temperature.

Wait 15 to 30 minutes after the client has eaten, drunk, or smoked.

It can cause trauma to the delicate rectal mucosa.

The body's mechanism for maintaining a stable internal temperature, using processes like shivering, sweating, and changes in blood vessel diameter.

A rise in body temperature above the normal range, often caused by infection and resulting from a change in the hypothalamus's temperature set point.

The transfer of heat through direct contact between two objects. Example: Sitting on a cold metal chair.

The transfer of heat through the movement of fluids, like air or water. Example: A breeze cooling your skin.

The loss of heat through the evaporation of liquids, like sweat. Example: Sweating on a hot day.

The transfer of heat through electromagnetic radiation. Example: Feeling the warmth of the sun.
