Describe assessment of heart function. Describe assessment
parameters used for the vascular system, location of peripheral
pulses and examination of jugular venous pressure.
Describe assessment of heart function. Describe assessment
parameters used for the vascular system, location of peripheral
pulses and examination of jugular venous pressure.
Describe how to conduct a peripheral vascular exam. What is an
Allen test and why would conduct one. What are Arterial Brachial
Indexes, why would you conduct one and what results are considered
normal, and what do abnormal results indicate.
What are the components of the central and peripheral nervous
system that increase heart rate and blood pressure (include
baroreceptors, and both sympathetic and parasympathetic
systems)
Vasodilating Drugs
What drugs are used in the treatment of peripheral vascular
disease? Select two (2) vasodilators and describe the mechanism of
action and adverse effects of each drug selected.
(1) Isosorbide dinitrate
plus hydralazine
(2) Nitroglycerin
(3) Sodium nitroprusside
[Nitropress]
Describe the effects the parameters of a normal curve
have on the central location and shape of the curve.
If the standard deviation of a normal curve remains
constant, what effect changes in the mean will have on the
curve?
If the mean of a normal curve remains constant, what
effect changes in the standard deviation will have on the
curve?
II. Cardiovascular System
Health Assessment: Heart and Neck Vessels
a. Anatomical landmarks for assessing the heart and neck
vessels
b. Physical assessment techniques for assessing the heart and
neck vessels
c. Normal and Abnormal Findings: Inspection, Palpation,
Percussion, Auscultation
d. Heart Sounds and Murmurs: Normal and Abnormal findings and
clinical significance
e. (application)Jugular Venous Pressure: Normal and Abnormal
findings and clinical significance / CHF
f. Assessing Murmurs
g. Peripheral vascular pulses
Identify the 4 valves of the heart and explain its location as
well as its function. Explain the word parts that comprise these
terms and how their function is related to their meaning. Choose
two specific components of the cardiovascular system and explain
how they contribute to the overall function of the cardiovascular
system. Finally, list two diagnostic procedures of the
cardiovascular system and explain each of the word parts that make
up those procedures.
Describe the differences between the functions of the central
nervous system and peripheral nervous system (5 Points) List and
describe the primary functions of the 4 major lobes of the cerebral
cortex
