- 1. _______ breathing is respiration abnormally deep, regular, and increased in rate often seen in Diabetic ketoacidosis
- 3. This can cause vasoconstriction, which can cause a drop in the temperature of the skin and mucous membranes.
- 6. Korotkoff sound # _____ is described as a distinct, abrupt muffling sound
- 7. The transfer of heat as waves or particles of energy. No actual contact occurs between the object transmitting the heat and the object absorbing it.
- 8. The transfer of heat by movement or circulation of warm matter such as air or water.
- 10. This temperature reading is considered to be very accurate. It is contraindicated in newborns, in patients who are neutropenic and in patients with spinal cord injury.
- 11. A pulse rated a 3 is considered to be _______
- 15. Low body temperature.
- 16. The most common site for assessing the quality, rate, and rhythm is the _____ pulse

- 2. This temperature is acceptable for infants, children, and patients who cannot tolerate measurement by other routes. The sensor must stay in contact with the skin.
- 4. Never palpate both _____ arteries at the same time. Doing so could cause syncope (fainting).
- 5. A person who maintains this normal body temperature.
- 6. The normal vitals for this group is: Temp of 97°-99° F, HR of 50-90, RR of 15-20 and SBP 94-120.
- 9. Bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes, results from decreased oxygen levels in arterial blood.
- 12. The most definitive site used for pulse assessment is _____
- 13. ystolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate are significantly increased in veterans with _____
- 14. A pulse _____ is when the patient's radial pulse rate is slower than the apical pulse rate because of cardiac contractions that are weak or ineffective at pumping blood to the peripheral tissues and extremities.
