    • Normally client feel thud no pain
    • sharp pain occurs with inflammation
  24. Normal Bowel Sounds
    • Normal value from 5-30 min
    • Listen 5 min by your watch before deciding bowel sounds are absent completely
  25. Define Crepitation
    • Audible and palpable crunching or grating that accompanies movement
    • Occurs when the articular surfaces in the joints are roughened as w/rhematoid arthritis
  26. What area do bone growth occur
    • Epiphysis - lenghtning growth plate
    • Shaft - increases diameter of bone
  27. Cerebellum
    Concerned with motor coordination
  28. Midbrain
    • Contains many motor neurons and tracts
    • Merges into thalamus and hypothalamus
  29. Pons
    Enlarged area containing ascending and descending fiber tract
  30. Medulla
    Connects the brain and spinal cord
  31. Hypothalamus
    • Controls:
    • Temperature
    • HR
    • BP
    • Sleep center

  32. How to assess for Peripheral Neuropathy
    (Posterior Column Tract Test)

  40. Glasgow Coma Scale
    • Each area is rated separately
    • # given for persons best response
    • # added up
    • The total reflects person functional status
  41. Normal Glasgow Score
    • 15 - normal
    • 7 > coma
  42. Osgood Schlatter Disease:

    • Numbness
    • Tingling
    • cold

    Characteristics
    • Brownish color variation
    • Aching
    • Tiredness
    • Fullness
  46. Visual Acuity Test
    Snellen Eye Chart
  47. What does 20/30 mean
    You can read at 20 feet what the normal eye could read at 30 feet
  48. How to assess hearing
    • Whispered voice test
    • Tunning fork test
    • Weber test
    • Rinne test
    • *Audiometer*
  49. Cranial nerve involved in hearing
    • CN VIII
    • Acoustic
  50. pupillary constriction involves what nerve
    • CN III
    • Oculomotor
  51. Correct time to do BSE
    4th to 8th day after menses
  52. Cranial Nerves Mnemonic
    • Oh
    • Oh
    • Oh
    • To
    • Touch
    • And
    • Feel
    • A
    • Good
    • Vein
    • Ah
    • Heaven
  53. How to assess JVD
    • Position client at 30 to 45 degree angle
    • Remove pillow
    • To avoid flexing neck as person is raised to sitting position external jugulars flatten and disappear
    • Unilateral distetion of vein is due to local cause(kinking and aneurysm)
    • Full distention signify increased CVP as with heart failure
