A type of physical assessment that is typically performed on patients who have sustained nonsignificant mechanisms of injury or on responsive medical patients, this type of examination is based on the chief complaint and focuses on one body system or part
Capillary Refill
Focused assessment
Distracting Injury
Tripod Position
Blood pressure that is higher than the normal range
Hypertension
Hypotension
Retractions
Orientation
Yellow skin or sclera that is caused by liver disease or dysfunction
Jaundice
Coagulation
Hypotension
Crackles
Rapid heart rate, more than 100 beats/min
Orientation
Coagulation
Hypertension
Tachycardia
Blood Pressure that is lower than the normal range
Hypothermia
Retractions
Perfusion
Hypotension
Forces, or energy transmission, applied to the body that cause injury → MOI (mechanism of injury)
True
False
The motion of the portion of the chest wall that is detached in a flail chest, the motion—in during inhalation, out during exhalation—is exactly the opposite of normal chest wall motion during breathing → Paradoxical motion
True
False
Breathing that requires greater than normal effort, may be slower or faster than normal and characterized by grunting, stridor, and use of accessory muscles → Diastolic pressure
True
False
A painful, tender, persistent erection of the penis, can result from spinal cord injury, erectile dysfunction drugs, or sickle cell disease → Metabolism
True
False
The amount of air (in milliliters) that is moved in or out of the lungs during one breath → Tidal volume
True
False
A harsh, high-pitched, breath sound, generally heard during inspiration, that is caused by partial blockage or narrowing of the upper airway, may be audible without a stethoscope
Sample History
Stridor
Orientation
Wheezing
Characterized by light or profuse sweating
Tidal Volume
Diaphoretic
Perfusion
Hypothermia
A noninvasive method that can quickly and efficiently provide information on a patient's ventilatory status, circulation, and metabolism, effectively measures the concentration of carbon dioxide in expired air over time
Capillary Refill
Hypothermia
Capnography
Reassessment
A test that evaluates distal circulatory system function by squeezing (blanching) blood from an area such as a nail bed and watching the speed of its return after releasing the pressure
Capnography
Standard Precautions
Capillary Refill
Primary Assessment
Damage to tissues as the result of exposure to cold; frozen or partially frozen body parts are frostbitten
Auscultate
Guarding
Triage
Frostbite
