| Type of sputum that may be green, yellow, gray, or blood tinged | abnormal |
| Normal, syspnea, wheezing, or bubbling are how you would evaluate this part of respirations | quality |
| You must use this to monitor the pulse at the apical site | stethoscope |
| A physical characteristic of a patient suffering from abnormal respirations is that they may lean | forward |
| Rate, rhythm, and strength are the things you monitor when evaluating a patient's | pulse |
| The normal range for an adolescent's pulse rate | 60-105 |
| The normal range for an adult's pulse rate | 60-100 |
| The normal range for a preschooler's pulse rate | 80-120 |
| The normal range for a school age child (6-10 years of age) pulse rate | 70-110 |
| The normal range for an infant's (6-12 months of age) pulse rate | 80-140 |
| The normal rate for a toodler ( 1-3 years of age) pulse rate | 80-130 |
| The normal range for a newborn's pulse rate | 120-160 |
| The normal range for an infant's (0-5 months of age) pulse rate | 90-140 |
| Pulse rate more than 100 beats per minute | tachycardia |
| Pulse rate less than 50 beats per minute | bradycardia |
| If a peripheral pulse is irregular, take a second pulse at the femoral, apical, or what other site | carotid |
| Regular or irregular, intermittent are how patient's pulse what is evaluated | rhythm |
| A pulse with exceptionally strong heartbeats which make the arteries difficult to compress | bounding |
| Strong or full, bounding, or wak/tready are how this aspect of the pulse is evaluated | strength |
| Pulse site on the side of the head | temporal |
| What you do with the tips of your index and middle fingers on the pulse site when measuring pulse | palpate |
| The apical pulse site is located over what body part | heart |
| Pulse site on the neck | carotid |
| Pulse site located near the wrist | radial |
| Pulse site located on the inside of the arm near the elbow | brachial |
| Pulse site on the back of the ankle area | posterior tibial |
| Pulse site located behind the knee | popliteal |
| Pulse site located near the upper leg/region area | femoral |
| Pulse site on the front side of the ankle.foot area | dorsalis pedis |
| The BP cuff should be this size of the upper arm length if using the bracial artery | two-thirds |
| Another name for the blood pressure cuff | sphygmomanometer |
| If the brachial site cannot be used to measure the BP, use a larger cuff applied on this location | thigh |
| The BP cuff should be two-thirds the size of the upper let length if using this artery | popliteal |
| When placing the BP cuff, the lower edge is one to two inches where to the elbow | above |
| A BP taken on a patient who is standing your reading will be slightly what | higher |
| The BP cuff should not remain inflated for more than how many minutes | two |
| Inflate the cuff until the gauge reads at leas 140 mm or this amount mm higher than the usual range | ten |
| The pressure heard when the sound changes again and becomes muffled or unclear after the first sound | diastolic |
| When determining a patient's BP, the first distinct sound heard is this pressure | systolic |
| 100-140/60-90 is the normal BP range for this sex of patient | male |
| When recording a BP reading (systolic over diastolic) record the readings in what type of numbers | even |
| Do not take a what type of temperature if recent oral surgery or being administered oxygen by mouth | oral |
| 90-130/50-60 is the normal BP range for this sex of patient | female |
| Method used to determine temperature if patient recently had domething to eat or drink | tympanic |
| Take an oral temperature on this type of adult/child who can follow directions and breathe nasally | conscious |
| Temperature taken if oral, tympanic, and rectal methods are ruled out due to patient's condition | axillary |
| Color of tip for a rectal thermometer | red |
| Color of tip for an oral thermometer | blue |
| Take a rectal temperature with the patient lying on either side with the top knee | flexed |
| The same or different thermometer is used with axillary and oral temperature readings | same |
| If taking a rectal temperature on an adult, insert the thermometer one to two what into rectum | inches |
| You should do this to the thermometer until down below 94 degrees F | shake |
| Leave an oral thermometer in place for at least this many minutes and a rectal at least | three, two |
| Axillary temperature should be left in place at least this many minutes | ten |
| The normal temperature range for an oral temp is 97-99 degrees F, True or False | true |
| What letter is recorded in a patient's record and has a normal temp range of 98-100 degrees F | R |
| What letter is recorded in a patient's record and has a normal temp range of 96-98 degrees F | A |
| You should move clip sensors every two what when measureing a patient's pulse oxygen saturation | hours |
| You should do this to fingerh=nail polish on finger that pulse oxygen saturation will be measured | remove |
| You should notify the Nurse, MD or PA if the readout is this on the pescribed parameters | below |
| Usually, the goal is to maintain the patient's oxygen saturation at this % or better | 95 |
| Adhesive pulse oxygen sensores can be place where there is decreased circulation to lower extermity | toe |
| You should place the pulse oxygen sensor so that the emiting light is directly what to the detector | opposite |
| Adhesive and fingertip sensors can be placed on index, middle, or ring finger on this patient | adults |
| This type of clip and neonate adhesive sensors for foot are available for infants (pulse oxy sat) | earlobe |
| Move adhesive pulse oxygen saturation sensors every how many hours | four |
