Without fever

• having or showing symptoms of a fever (adjective)
• Describes a fever

Raised body temperature (noun)

True!  Failure of the hypothalamus to regulate body temperature.  Meaning the body keep getting hotter and hotter.  (Positive feed back)

This is when the body is unable to produce heat to maintain normal body temperature.

when the heart has an abnormal rhythm

is when you have to much Carbon dioxide and that tell the body to breath

Normal respiraton

Rregular, slow respiration (< 12/min)

Regular rapid respiration (> 20/min)

• gasping for air.
• rapid laboured, deep respiration

IT is the absence of breathing

Increased rate and depth of breathing. (to much carbon dioxide)

decreased rate and depth of breathing.  (low levels of oxygen)

• Detects how much saturated the hemoglobin is with oxygen.
• Measures light wave emitted by Oxy. and CArbon dioxide
• Assesses arterial oxygen saturation

It is the force of blood pushing against he side of an artery.

is the maximum pressure exerted during ventricle contraction

Is the pressure of heart at rest.

the action of listening to sounds from the heart, lungs, or other organs, typically with a stethoscope, as a part of medical diagnosis.

approx 2.5cm above the brachial artery

• 1. Phase 1 - Tapping or thumping sound (systole blood pressure)
• 2. Phase 2 - occurs during deflation. A muffled or swishing sound.
• 3. Phase 3 - Blood flows freely through open artery.  Sounds increases in crispness
• 4. Phase 4 - Sound becomes muffled again. (softer)
• 5. Phase 5 - Diastolic BP - Sound dissappers

• Is subjective (can not be seen)
• has an effect on VS (vital signs)

• Taking drugs.  Ex - aspirin > thins blood > increases blood flow
• elasticity of vessel walls
• cardiac output

• P = How  did your pain start
• Q =what does your pain feel like? Quality of pain?
• R = Region/Radiation? does your pain go anywhere?
• S = signs and symptoms (redness/ swelling)
• T =  time?  (when did your pain start)
• U = Understanding (How do you interoperate your pain?  have you felt this way before?

• 1.  Oral Preparatory phase
• 2.  Oral Phase
• 3.  Pharyngeal phase
• 4.  Esophageal phase

When the person eating is anticipated

food collected and sealed between roof of mouth and tounge

• This is where the epiglottis guides food past airways
• muscle of the pharynx contracts to move food towards the esophagus.
• food goes into esophagus

contractions moving food along the esophagus towards the stomach

Diet As Tolorated

difficulty swallowing

• Check all plans and orders
• Diet texture
• positioning 
• bite size
• document in progress notes what you observed and who you told

the rate at which the body uses energy while at rest to keep vital functions going, such as breathing and keeping warm.

the action of attempting to exhale with the nostrils and mouth, or the glottis, closed. This increases pressure in the middle ear and the chest, as when bracing to lift heavy objects, and is used as a means of equalizing pressure in the ears.

Low blood pressure occurring when someone stands up.  (feeling of dizziness / head rush)
