What are the four major vital signs? - ANSWER: - Temperature
- Pulse
- Respiratory Rate
- Blood Pressure

What is the fifth vital sign? - ANSWER: pulse oximetry (SpO2)

What is the core body temperature generally? - ANSWER: 37°C (98.6 (°F)

According to estimates what is the body temperature in relation to pt oxygen consumption? -
ANSWER: for every 1°C increase the oxygen consumption increases about 10%

Define afebrile - ANSWER: temperature within normal range

Define pyrexia or hyperthermia - ANSWER: temperature above normal range

Define febrile - ANSWER: fever, temperature rises above normal range

Define hyperpyrexia - ANSWER: exceptionally high temperature above 41°C (105.8°F)

Formula to convert °C to °F - ANSWER: °F= (9/5* °C) +32

Formula to convert °F to °C - ANSWER: °C= 5/9 (°F-32)

What are the average vital signs for a newborn? - ANSWER: Temp (°F): 96-99.5
Pulse (bpm): 100-180
Respirations (breaths/min): 30-60
BP (mmHg): 60-90/20-60

What are the average vital signs for a child (6-12yrs)? - ANSWER: Temp (°F): 98.6
Pulse (bpm): 65-100
Respirations (breaths/min): 20-30
BP (mmHg): 100-110/60-70

What are the four common types of fever? - ANSWER: intermittent fever,
remittent fever,
relapsing fever,
and constant fever

Intermittent fever - ANSWER: periods of fever, normal range, and below normal

Remittent fever - ANSWER: marked peaks and valleys over a 24 hour period of time.

Relapsing fever - ANSWER: when short febrile periods of a few days are interspaced 1 or 2 days of
normal temperature

Continuous fever - ANSWER: when temperature stays above normal with no fluctuation

Hypothermia may occur from what? - ANSWER: - excessive heat loss
- inadequate heat production to counteract heat loss

, - impaired hypothalamic thermoregulation

What are clinical signs of hypothermia? - ANSWER: - below normal body temperature
- decreased pulse and respiratory rate
- severe shivering (initially)
- pt indicating coldness or presence of chills
- pale or blush cool, waxy skin
- hypotension
- decreased urinary output
- lack of muscle coordination
- disorientation
- drowsiness or unresponsiveness
- coma

Define pulse - ANSWER: is a rhythmic arterial blood pressure throb created by the pumping action of
the ventricular muscle

What are the characteristics of a pulse? - ANSWER: - rate
- rhythm
- strength

Bradycardia - ANSWER: heart rate below 60 bpm

tachycardia - ANSWER: heart rate above 100 bpm

sinus arrhythmia - ANSWER: heart rate increases during inspiration and decreases during exhalation
(not uncommon in children and young adults)

pulsus alternans - ANSWER: pulse varies every other beat while the rhythm remains regular

Pulsus paradoxus - ANSWER: pulse decreases noticeably in strength during inspiration and increases
back to normal during exalhation

Tachypnea - ANSWER: increased breath rate

Bradypnea - ANSWER: decreased breath rate

systolic blood pressure - ANSWER: the blood pressure measured during ventricular contraction

diastolic blood pressure - ANSWER: during ventricular relaxation, blood pressure is generated by the
elastic recoil of the arteries and arterioles

pulse pressure - ANSWER: the numeric difference between the systolic and diastolic blood pressures

BP= V*R - ANSWER: BP: blood pressure
V: flow
R: resistance

Cardiac Output formula - ANSWER: CO= SV* HR

poor cardiac pumping - ANSWER: ventricular failure

Hypertension - ANSWER: when an individuals blood pressure is chronically above normal range

primary hypertension - ANSWER: elevated blood pressure of unknown cause

secondary hypertension - ANSWER: elevated blood pressure of a known cause
