Match the following respiratory terms with their descriptions:
Orthopnea = Breathing is easier in an upright position Hyperventilation = Increased rate and depth of breathing Hypoventilation = Decreased rate and depth of breathing Cheyne-Stokes breathing = Periods of deep breathing alternate with apnea
Match the following blood pressure terms with their definitions:
Systolic Pressure = Pressure when the left ventricle contracts Diastolic Pressure = Pressure when the ventricles relax Pulse pressure = Difference between systolic and diastolic pressure Cardiac output = Heart rate multiplied by stroke volume
Match the following short-term BP regulation mechanisms with their descriptions:
Neural regulation = Changes in heart rate and vascular smooth muscle in response to baroreceptors Humoral regulation = Release of epinephrine and vasopressin to increase heart rate and vasoconstriction Baroreceptors = Pressure-sensitive receptors in the heart and arterial walls Vasopressin = Stimulated by decreased blood pressure and volume to cause vasoconstriction
Match the following long-term BP regulation concepts with their functions:
Regulation through the kidneys = Regulating extracellular volume to maintain equilibrium in blood pressure Extracellular volume regulation = Controlling blood pressure when the body has too much extracellular fluid Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system = Causing vasoconstriction to increase blood pressure through angiotensin 2 Equilibrium point regulation = Functioning to regulate blood pressure for a person's balance
Match the following with their related body part for assessing blood pressure:
Brachial artery = Most commonly used to assess BP Popliteal artery = Not commonly used for assessing BP Radial artery = Place BP cuff on the forearm Axillary artery = Contraindicated for assessing BP
Match the following with their contraindications for obtaining blood pressure on a specific arm:
Axillary node dissections or Mastectomy side = Contraindicated for obtaining BP On-going IV infusion or blood transfusion = Contraindicated for obtaining BP Arteriovenous fistula or shunt = Contraindicated for obtaining BP Injuries, cast = Contraindicated for obtaining BP
Match the following with their impact on blood pressure readings:
Differences in B/P readings between arms = Check B/P on both arms at first assessment Forearm measurement is higher than upper arm = Radial artery assessment Position of the wrist relative to the heart = Readings affected by this factor Obesity = Suggested alternative for obtaining readings in an obese patient
Match the following with their recommended actions for assessing blood pressure at the radial artery:
Place BP cuff on the forearm = Recommended action for assessing B/P at radial artery Place stethoscope over the radial artery = Recommended action for assessing B/P at radial artery Ensure the wrist is elevated to the level of the heart = Recommended action for assessing B/P at radial artery Use arm with the higher pressure when not contraindicated = Action related to brachial artery assessment
Match the following with their specific conditions requiring doctor's orders for blood pressure assessment:
Pre and post op = Specific doctor's order required for blood pressure assessment No BP or blood draw in left arm = Specific doctor's order required for blood pressure assessment Specific doctor's order = Required under certain conditions for blood pressure assessment Use arm with the higher pressure when not contraindicated = General instruction related to blood pressure assessment
Match the following with their description:
Phase 1 of Korotkoff Sounds = First appearance of faint tapping and is the systolic pressure Phase 2 of Korotkoff Sounds = Muffled or swishing sound that may disappear for up to 40mmHg long then reappear Auscultatory gap = The temporary disappearance of sounds in the latter part of Phase 1 and during Phase 2 Phase III of Korotkoff Sounds = Loud sounds as the blood flows freely thru the open artery
Match the following with their role in blood pressure measurement:
Phase 1 of Korotkoff Sounds = Indicates the systolic pressure Phase IV of Korotkoff Sounds = Considered to be the first diastolic pressure Auscultatory gap = Temporary disappearance of sounds during blood pressure measurement Phase V of Korotkoff Sounds = Defines diastolic pressure
Match each phase of Korotkoff Sounds with its characteristic sound:
Phase 1 of Korotkoff Sounds = Faint tapping Phase 2 of Korotkoff Sounds = Muffled or swishing sound Phase IV of Korotkoff Sounds = Abrupt muffled sounds with a soft blowing sound Phase V of Korotkoff Sounds = Last sound before continuous silence
Match the following with their significance in blood pressure measurement:
Auscultatory gap = Indicates a range where sounds temporarily disappear during measurement Phase III of Korotkoff Sounds = Indicates the point where loud sounds are heard as blood flows freely through the artery Phase IV of Korotkoff Sounds = Marks the beginning of diastolic pressure Phase V of Korotkoff Sounds = Defines the end point for diastolic pressure
Match each description with its corresponding phase in Korotkoff Sounds:
First appearance of faint tapping and is the systolic pressure = Phase 1 of Korotkoff Sounds Abrupt muffled sounds with a soft blowing sound. Considered to be the first diastolic pressure. = Phase IV of Korotkoff Sounds Loud sounds as the blood flows freely thru the open artery = Phase III of Korotkoff Sounds Last sound before continuous silence and is used to define diastolic pressure = Phase V of Korotkoff Sounds

Tympanic
What types of temperatures can electronic and digital thermometers measure?
Oral, rectal, and axillary temperatures
How does hypothermia work to improve outcomes after cardiac arrest?
By decreasing the body's metabolic rate and oxygen demand
What is the recommended action for assessing blood pressure at the radial artery?
Ensure the wrist is elevated to the level of the heart
What is the impact of wrist position relative to the heart on blood pressure readings at the radial artery?
Readings are higher if the wrist is above the level of the heart
Which artery is most commonly used to assess blood pressure?
Brachial artery
In which condition should the arm with the higher blood pressure be used for assessment?
When there are differences in blood pressure readings between arms
Why is the radial artery becoming more commonly used for blood pressure assessment?
Forearm measurement is higher than upper arm measurement
