Types of Assessment (4) | 1) Initial 2) Emergency 3) Focused 4) Ongoing |
What is Initial Assessment? | 1st encounter with patient |

Types of Data ........... (2) | 1) Subjective 2) Objective |

4 Life Functions in order of importance | 1) Ventilation 2) Oxygenation 3) Circulation 4) Perfusion |
6 Major Vital Signs | 1) Temperature (T) 2) Pulse (P or PR) 3) Respiration (R or RR) 4) Blood Pressure (BP) 5) Pulse Ox (SpO2) 6) Blood Glucose Level |
Normal Body Temperature | 37 degrees C +/- 0.5 degrees (98.6 degrees F +/- 2 degrees) |
Normal Temp Ranges | Adult = 97-99 Child 98.6-99.6 Infant 96-99 Geriatrics 95-99 |
Why does Increased temp causes vasodilation? | Allows more warm blood to flow near the surface of the skin, where the heat can be lost to the air. |
Decreased temp causes vasoconstriction why? | Blood vessels supplying warm blood to the skin become narrow or constrict (vasoconstriction). This reduces the flow of warm blood near the surface of the skin, and reduces heat loss. |

What is pulse pressure and Range? | Difference between systolic and diastolic pressures. Represents the force the heart generates when contracting; 30-50 |
Pulse pressure equation | PP = SBP - DBP |
Blood pressure is determined by ....... | Flow and resistance |
Blood flow is equal to ...... | Cardiac output |
Cardiac Output equation | CO = SV x HR |
Why would there be decreased SV? | 1) poor pumping action 2)decreased blood volume |
What decreases both CO and flow? | Bradycardia |
What increases both CO and flow? | Increased HR or blood volume |
What happens when heart is compensating to maintain CO and flow? | Increased HR develops in response to decreased SV or BV |
