Vital signs - Temperature, Pulse, Respiration, BP What balances Body temp? - Hypothalamus Another name for eardr um - Tympanic Membrane Fluctuating fever that returns to baseline but then rises again - Intermittent Normal pulse rate - 60-100 BPM Where apex of heart is located - 5th intercostal space What is BP cuff inflated to? - 30-40 mmHg above the palpatory systolic pressure and released to drop 2-3 mmHg per second Hg in BP measurement stands for this - Mercury Branch responsible for the identification of various hazards present in the workplace and the creation of rules and regulations to minimize exposure - OSHA This is required by Chemical Safety Regulations - Label all chemicals with MSDS Most surgical instruments are sterilized by this - Steam sterilization/Autoclave Droplets can travel how far? - Less than 3 feet Standard running speed of the EKG reading - 25mm/sec Who invented the EKG? - Einthoven Pt having mild chest pain might be prescribed this - Nitroglycerin Liquid portion of blood is called - Plasma Thromobocytes assist in - Clotting Government based health insurance for people over 65 and others with certain disabilities - Medicare CPR Ratio - 30 Compressions : 2 Breaths Medical Asepsis - The destruction of pathogenic microorganisms AFTER they leave the body through Standard Precautions and Transmission Based Precautions Standard Precautions and Transmission-based Precautions are control measures aimed at preventing the spread of disease at what point in the Chain of Infection - Portal of Exit Organization that issued the guidelines known as Standard and Universal Precautions - CDC Because of the nature of airborne precautions this is needed to prevent transmission - Ventilation Where you would find the spelling for a medication? - Physician Desk Reference Where is V2 lead located - 4th intercostal space, left sternal border Where is V5 lead located - 5th intercostal space, anterior axillary line Poor tracings due to sweat or lotion would lead to this on an EKG - Wandering baseline Most critical step in pt testing - Identifying the pt Which urinalysis would you use to test for bacteria? - Clean Catch Specimen Codes used to describe encounters with circumstances other than disease or injury - ICD-9 Supplemental codes that capture the external cause of injury or poisoning, the intent and the place it occured - E codes The sounds an MA listens for during a BP - Korotkoff sounds CMS-1500 Form is aka - Superbill Post-prandial - After a meal Complication from repeated venipuncture of the same vein - Phlebitis Bacteria, viruses, fungus or parasites belong to which type of hazard - Biologic Isolation precautions are condensed into 3 categories: - Airborne, Droplet and Contact Unit of measure on a standard Rx - Micrograms/mcg Amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute is called - Cardiac Output Q wave is always - Negative First electrical impulse recorded on EKG - P wave Movement away from the baseline on an EKG is called - Wave form Several wave forms on an EKG are called - Complex A wave form and a segment on an EKG - Interval A line between waveforms on an EKG - Segment Specific coding instructions for each CPT section are located here - Guidelines Required when general practitioner sends pt to a specialist - Method of referral The shallow wave that follows the T wave represents - Late ventricular repolarization Rhythm indicated by absence of/or inverted P waves - Junctional Inferior wall MI is shown in what leads - II, III, AVF Leads 1 and AVL show broken recording, you should - Check Left Arm Three lead EKG monitor - I, II, III Why increase the speed of the EKG - Increase speed widens wave forms Placement of leads V1-V6 is important to diagnose - Left ventricular Why place V3 on right side of chest on an infant - To prevent crowding of the leads Dextrocardia - When heart is on opposite side of the body Lead combo for Lateral wall acute MI - Leads I, AVL, V5 & V6 ST Segment Elevation indicates - Cardiac injury in progress Which leads allow viewing pt's anterior wall of Left Ventricular - V3 & V4 EKG line representing zero electrical activity - Isoelectric line Patient with a 2 degree heart block would show this - Progressively prolonged PR intervals until the QRS complex dropped What is the heart rate with 5 big boxes and 3 little boxes - 54 Sequencing - 300, 150, 100, 75, 60, 50 The epicardium forms a protective sac around the heart known as the - Pericardium Atrio ventricular valves - Tricuspid and mitral The last valve to touch de-oxygenated blood is the - Pulmonary valve All 4 valves are - Unidirectional The right side of the heart has what type of blood - De-oxygenated blood The heart is fed by these - Coronary arteries The L anterior descending artery is also known as - The Widow maker The pathway from the SA node to the AV node is the - Internodal pathway Intrinsic rate for the SA node is - 60-100 BPMs Eintoven's Triangle does what? - shows basic EKG reading Calculating the atrial rate would be - The p-p big box method The PR interval is measured from - The beginning of the P wave to the beginning of QRS complex This makes a rhythm a "sinus rhythm" - a P wave In hospital cardiac monitoring - Telemetry On a telemetry monitor what color lead is on the right shoulder - White lead The artery used for blood pressure is - Brachial The area of the eye you start irrigation in - Inner canthus Pulmonary function tests use this - Spirometer Heart muscle disease - Cardiomyopathy With wave scheduling, which patient would be priority - Patient who arrives first Refers to coding procedures - CPT Refers to preventative coding like a flu shot - V codes Refers to coding diagnoses - ICD 9 Refer to coding supplies like crutches - HCPCS Most important is to have this before scheduling a procedure - A doctor's order To properly identify a pt, an MA must - Ask pt to state his/her name At what angle is the needle held for venipuncture - 35 degrees Fecal specimen collection is used to detect what disease?
