ABI is a test for

what is considered normal blood pressure range

when the arteries are not open and cannot move nutrients, gases, or waste products, pressure builds up and causes ______

WNL (within normal limits) pulse oxygen saturation level

Is a pulse oximeter used to measure oxygen saturation and blood pressure

Primary Hypertension is also known as

What is a normal saturation level

When was HIPAA originally establisted?

What does HIPPA mean?

Primary Hypertension cannot be cure, but can be controlled

normal temperature range is 96.6-100.1

JVP is assessed by the visual observation of the patients right side of their neck while the patient is reclined

What is this called

Secondary hypertension has an acute onset and may be curable or treatable if blood pressure is placed under control

Checking blood pressure is a snapshot of a patients overall health

What is the vital signs that a tech takes from a patient?

The "L" in SAMPLE stands for: past medical history

What is HIPAA called

Always gossip and look up information not necessary to perform ECG.

Smaller blood passages caused by blockage cause an increase in blood pressure

What are the 6 vital signs?

Hypertension disease can usually be managed through drug therapy

What causes primary hypertension

WNL (within normal limits) for respirations

Blood pressure reading is diastolic pressure/systolic pressure

ABPI stands for

The bottom of the formula for ABI is

ABI Value of 0.8-1.0 may indicate

Vital sign measurements include temperature, pulse, respirations, pulse oxygen level, weight, and blood pressure

Private personal health information includes anything about the patient’s existence in the health care setting.

Which stage of BP is 180-160/110-100

Diabetes is the leading cause of secondary hypertension

Diabetes is a leading cause of secondary hypertension.+

Primary/Secondary Hypertension

 A complete physical exam, blood work, and an ECG will confirm the diagnosis

combo of measuring proteins, cholesterol, and triglycerides

ABI is called ankle brachial index

the arteries can become clogged or blocked with waste products, and this can eventually cause heart blockage

Health professionals have a legal responsibility to keep patient information private and secured.
