Term
| during blood pressure measurement, a stethoscope is used: |
|
Definition
| to detect turbulent blood flow through the brachial artery |
|
|
Term
| if pulse amplitude indicates the amount of blood flowing through the finger, elevating the left hand: |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| if pulse amplitude indicates the amount of blood flowing through the finger, elevating the right hand: |
|
Definition
| did NOT change the blood flow in the left hand |
|
|
Term
| the systolic blood pressure when the virtual volunteer had BOTH hands by their side was: |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| the systolic blood pressure when the virtual volunteer had his LEFT (recording) hand elevated was: |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| imagine a fountain in a pond. if you measured the force pushing the water against gravity, the value for water presure at the base of the fountain would be: |
|
Definition
| greater than the pressure at the top of the fountain |
|
|
Term
| if the pressure of a fluid declines as it flows against gravity, then raising the left hand above the head would: |
|
Definition
| lower the b.pressure in the arm and reduce b.flow to the hand |
|
|
Term
| if elevating the right (non-recording) hand above the head doesn't change the systolic pressure or the pulse amplitude: |
|
Definition
all of the other options are true
(- raising a hand doesn't change systolic bp in the other arm
- raising a hand doesn't change b.flow in the other arm
- changed in r. arm position doesn't change b.flow or systolic pressure in the l.arm) |
