Health Science Clinical Part 2 Fall Review test

You have a patient with peripheral vascular disease that has a thready radial pulse, where might you choose to take a more accurate pulse? (TEKS 9h)

• Popliteal

• Pedal

• Carotid

• Femoral

On an infant assessment, where is the appropriate site to obtain the pulse? (TEKS 9h)

• Apical

• Brachial

• Femoral

• Carotid

A blood pressure of 135/95 would be considered hypertension. (TEKS 9h)

• True

• False

A blood pressure of 80/65 would be considered hypotension. (TEKS 9h)

• True

• False

80-190 beats per minute is the normal pulse range for which of the following age groups: (TEKS 9h)

• Infants

• Females

• Males

• Adolescents

What is NOT a proper way to count a pulse? (TEKS 9h)

• Using the thumb at the radial pulse

• Apical pulse with a stethoscope

• Using two fingers at the brachial pulse

• Carotid pulse with two fingers

How are infant's pulse rates counted and why?

• Apical pulse for one full minute, because of rapid and irregular pulse rate

• At carotid for one full minute because it is easy to access

• Apical pulse for 30 seconds (multiplied by 2) because of rapid pulse rate

• At brachial pulse for 30 seconds (multiplied by 2) because the pulse is stronger than radial

Which is NOT an example of good body mechanics when lifting a heavy patient? (TEKS 12e)

• get help

• hold patient as far from your body as possible

• do not twist when carrying

• tighten abdominal muscles when lifting

The rescuer should open the airway using the: (TEKS 9h)

• Tongue jaw thrust

• Head tilt neck lift

• Head tilt chin lift

• Head tilt

The ratio of compressions to ventilation ratio for 1-rescuer infant CPR is:

• 15:2

• 15:1

• 5:2

• 30:2
