Chapter 27 Quizs

During a health check at school, Estephania records the following vital signs for her classmate: blood pressure of 162/102 mm Hg, pulse of 90 beats per minute, respiration of 18 breaths per minute, and temperature of 98.6°F. Of these readings, which vital sign is not within normal limits?

• Blood pressure of 162/102 mm Hg

• Pulse of 90 beats per minute

• Respiration of 18 breaths per minute

• Temperature of 98.6°F

During a health class, Estephania and Gagandeep are learning about blood pressure. Their teacher asks, "A normal blood pressure for adults is less than _____ mm Hg."

• 120 over 80

• 140 over 95

• 100 over 50

• 160 over 110

Sierra and Lacey are comparing thermometers from different countries. They notice that one thermometer uses the Fahrenheit (F) scale to measure body temperature. In which of the following regions is this scale most frequently used?

• United States

• Europe

• Asia

• Australia

While practicing how to measure blood pressure in class, Sierra helps Estephania put the cuff on her arm. The correct tightness of the blood pressure cuff around Estephania’s arm is tight enough to

• squeeze only two fingers between cuff and arm.

• squeeze only one finger between cuff and arm.

• completely stop blood flow.

• prevent squeezing a finger between cuff and arm.

During a health class, Estephania and Zaira are learning about normal respiration rates. A normal respiration rate range for children (6 to 12 years) is _____ breaths per minute.

• 10 to 20

• 16 to 22

• 18 to 30

• 18 to 40

Lacey and Gagandeep are learning about body temperature in science class. Their teacher asks, what is the average range of the body's oral resting temperature?

• 97.6° to 99°F

• 95° to 99.5°F

• 96.5° to 100°F

• 93.5° to 99.5°F

During a health class, Zaira and Gagandeep are learning about how to assess a person's breathing. Their teacher asks them to list the three characteristics of respiration.

• volume, rate, and rhythm.

• rate, depth, and volume.

• palpate, depth, and volume.

• rate, rhythm, and depth как

During a routine dental checkup, Sierra is learning how to take a patient's pulse. The most common anatomic site she is instructed to use is the _____ artery.

• brachial

• carotid

• radial

• femoral

During a science class, Kelsie and Sierra are learning how to check their pulse after running laps. The term pulse can best be described as

• the palpation of an artery.

• oxygen taken into the body.

• body temperature.

• heart rate.

During a science class, Zaira and Gagandeep are learning about how the heart works. Their teacher explains that the amount of blood the heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries is known as

• respiration rate.

• pulse rate.

• blood pressure.
