Adler: Introduction to Radiologic and Imaging Sciences and Patient Care, 6th Edition


MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. The collection of vital signs data is quick and noninvasive. The usual vital signs measured
include.
b.temperature, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure.
The usual vital signs measured include temperature, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure .

Collectively, the vital signs are body temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure, and respiratory
rate. In addition, assessment of the patient’s mental alertness (sensorium) is often reported
along with the vital signs.


2. Adequate breathing consists of .
good respiratory rate.
good respiratory depth.
10 to 12 breaths/min.
Answer is . all of the above .



Adequate breathing (minute ventilation) is predicated on respiratory rate and depth of the
breath. At rest, respiratory rates are at least 10 to 12 breaths/min.


3. Body homeostasis is often referred to as the body’s “steady state” and is maintained by
important body systems using physiologic feedback loops. Vital signs are an excellent
indicator of the body’s response to conditions and therapies the patient is undergoing. A key
strength of using vital signs as an indicator of homeostasis is that they .
c. can be assessed quickly, and the data revealed are objective.
Vital signs can be assessed quickly in the clinical setting and serve as objective, noninvasive
evidence of the patient’s immediate condition. They are reliable indicators of physiologic
body processes.


4. All of the following are related EXCEPT.
c. inguinal.
the following are related oral, tympanic, and rectal.

Five routes are commonly used to measure and extrapolate core body temperature: (1) oral,
(2) axillary, (3) tympanic, (4) temporal, and (5) rectal. There is no body temperature
measurement that is inguinal.

, 5. All of the following are true of body temperature measurement EXCEPT.
a. all temperatures should be identical regardless of where the temperature is.this is
not true.
These are true of body temperatures include .
1 . body temperatures are read in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius.
2 . temporal artery (TA) measurements can be measured in 3 seconds noninvasively.
3 . rectal and TA measurement are typically 1 degree higher than oral readings.

Body temperature readings may be measured in either degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or degrees
Celsius (°C) and vary depending on where they are measured. Oral temperature readings in
healthy adults and children are within the narrow range of 97.7° to 99.5° F (36.5° to 37.5°
C). Tympanic measurements range from 95.9° to 99.5° F (35.5° to 37.5° C). Axillary
temperatures register slightly lower, and rectal and TA temperatures register approximately
1° F higher than oral readings.


6. The peak blood pressure reading when measuring blood pressures is both
what? a . systolic pressure .
B . And blood pressure resulting from left ventricular contraction.
During a contraction of the heart, blood is ejected from the ventricles into the arterial blood
vessels, creating an increase in pressure. The peak pressure present during contraction of the
heart is known as the systolic pressure.


7. A reliable device to measure oxygen saturation levels of arterial blood is a.
c. pulse oximeter.

A reliable device to measure oxygen saturation levels of arterial blood is a pulse oximeter..
A pulse oximeter is a noninvasive device used to provide ongoing assessment of the
hemoglobin oxygen saturation of arterial blood as well as the patient’s pulse rate. Normal
pulse oximeter (SpO2) values for a healthy person are 95% to 100%.


8. A patient who has a rectal temperature of 100.5° F is .
d. normal.
A patient who has a rectal temperature of 100.5° F is normal.
Body temperature readings may be measured in either degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or degrees
Celsius (°C). Oral temperature readings in healthy adults and children are within the narrow
range of 97.7° to 99.5° F. Axillary temperatures register slightly lower, and rectal and
temporal artery temperatures register approximately 1° F higher than oral readings.


9. All of the following apply to respiratory measurements .
a. a single respiration cycle consists of an inspiration and an expiration.

c. adult respiration quality refers to rhythm, depth, and degree of effort.
