Chief Complaint - the reason why the patient came to see the physician. History of Present Illness - explanation of the CC to determine the onset of the illness.
Past,family,and social history - summary of personal and family health problems as well
as social to include marital status, occupation, use of drugs, etc.
Body Processes necessary for life: - Body Temperature, Respiration, Heart Function
Vital Signs of body function: - temperature, pulse, respiration, blood pressure
Febrile - presence of fever
afebrile - absence of fever
intermittent fever - fluctuating fever that returns to or below baseline
remittent fever - fluctuating fever that remains elevated and does not return to baseline
continuous fever - fever that remains constant; does not fluctuate
axillary temperature - least accurate; taken under the arm
tympanic temperature - useful for children; placed in the ear
rectal temperature - per rectum; most effective
normal adult pulse range - between 60-100 bpm
apical pulse - taken over the apex of the heart by auscultation
normal respiration rate - 12-20 per minute (Adults)
apnea - temporary complete absence of breathing
tachypnea - respiration rate greater than 40 per minute
bradypnea - decrease in the numbers of respiration
cheyne stokes - regular pattern of irregular breathing rate
orthopnea - decrease in numbers of respiration
hypoventilation - reduced amount of air enters the lungs resulting in decreased oxygen
level
hyperpnea - abnormal increase in the depth and rate of breathing
hyperventilation - increased amount of air entering the lungs
Systole - the highest amount of pressure exerted during the cardiac cycle
Diastole - the lowest amount of pressure exerted during the cardiac cycle
Palpation - the sense of touch to determine the characteristics of an organ system
Percussion - tapping or striking the body to determine the position, size and density of
the underlying organ/tissue
Auscultation - listening to sounds produced by internal organs
Horizontal Recumbent Position - patient lies on back w/legs extended (used for most
physical exams)
Dorsal Recumbent Position - patient lies on back with knees flexed and soles of the feet
flat on the bed
Fowler's Position - semi/sitting position where back of the table is elevated.
Dorsal Lithotomy Position - patient lies on back with knees flexed, legs seperated and
thighs are acutely flexed. feet are usually in stirrups,
Prone position - patients lies on abdomen with head turned to side
Sim's position - patient lies on left side with right knee flexed against the abdomen and
left knee slightly flexed
knee-chest position - patient is on knees with chest resting on the bed and elbows
resting on the bed above head
OSHA - Occupational Safety and Health Administration
external hemorrhage - controlling the bleeding is most effectively accomplished by
elevating the affected part above heart level
Shock - occurs when there is insufficient return of blood flow to the heart
CPR - Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
AMS - Agent, Modes of Transmission, Susceptible Hosts
agents - infectious microorganisms that can be classified into groups; viruses, bacteria,
fungi, and parasites
Portal of Exit - the method by which an infectious agent leaves the reservoir
5 Modes of Transmission - Droplet, Airborne, Common Vehicle, Vectorborne, Contact
(direct or indirect)
Susceptible Host - Not Resistant or Immune
Medical Asepsis - the destruction of pathogenic microorganisms after they leave the
body
disinfection - use of various chemicals that can be used to destroy many pathogenic
microorganisms
1:10 Solution - most readily available and least expensive disenfectant
surgical asepsis - all microbial life, pathogens and non pathogens are destroyed before
an invasive procedure
Gas Sterilization - often used for wheelchairs and hospital beds
Dry Heat Sterilization - requires higher temperature than steam sterilization but longer
exposure times
Chemical Sterilization - use of the same chemical used for chemical disinfection Steam Sterilization (autoclave) - uses steam under pressure to obtain high temperature
of 250-254F with exposure of 20-40 min
Handwashing - the most important means of preventing the spread of infection
Personal Protective Equipment - Masks, goggles, face shileds, respirators
isolation precautions - method of infection control that assumes all human blood and
body fluids were potentially infectious
standard precautions - designed to prevent direct contact with blood and other body
fluids u using PPE
transmission based precautions - the second tier of precautions are to be used when
the patient is known or suspected of being contagious
po - by mouth/orally
pr - per rectum
sl - sublingual (under the tongue)
iv - intravenous
im - intramuscular
sq - subcutaneous
qd - every day
bid - twice a day
tid - three times a day
qid - four times a day
pc - after meals / not on empty stomach
qhs - each night
prn - as needed
heart location - in the thoracic cavity between the lungs just behind the sternum
Upper chambers of the heart - right & left atria (atrium-singular)
Lower chambers of the hear - Right & left ventricles
Endocardium - innermost layer of the heart
Myocardium - middle layer of the heart
Epicardium - outermost layer of the heart
pericardium - the sac in which the heart is contained
right atrium - receives deoxygenated blood returning to the heart via the superior vena
cava
