What happens to the BP if there is
Hyperthermia?
Management for Hypothermia
• Warm Environment
• Dry Clothing
• Warm Blankets
• Limbs close to body
• Cover scalp with cap or turban
• Warm oral or IV fluids
• Warming Pads
Hyperthermia Blanket
Heart
Important Pulse Sites
Pulse Amplitude

1 faint but detectable
2 slightly more diminished than normal
3 normal
4 bounding
Respirations
• Rate
• Volume
• Rhythm
• Breath Sounds (Normal and Adventitious)
Normal Breath sounds
• Vesicular Breath Sounds
• Bronchial Breath sounds
• Bronchovesicular breath sounds..
Adventitious sounds
1. Stridor
2. Wheezing
3. Rhonchi
4. Crackles/Rales
5. Pleural Friction Rub
Chest Movements
• Intercostal retractions
• Substernal retraction
• Suprasternal retraction
Assessing Blood Pressure
Ensure that client is rested.
OAllow to pass if the client have smoked or
ingested caffeine before taking BP.
O Use appropriate size of BP cuff.
• O Position the pt in supine or sitting position.
• O Position the arm at the level of the heart, with the
palm of the hand facing up.
• O Apply BP cuff snugly, _ above the antecubital space.
• O Inflate and deflate BP cuff slowly, at a time.
• O Wait before making further determinations.

4 techniques in PE
• I
• P
• P
• A
• Standard: IPPA
• Abdomen: IAPEPA
• Palpation:
A.Light – 1 – 2 cm
B.Deep – 4 – 5 cm
>> bimanual palpation
>> one hand while the other hand supports.
• In Percussion, we can elicit 5 sounds:
• Flatness – extremely dull sound by very dense tissue such as
muscle or bone.
• Dullness – thudlike(nahulug na bagay sa sahig)sound produced by
dense tissue. Liver, speen, heart
• Resonance – hollow sound produced by lungs filled with air.
• Hyperresonance – not normal; booming sound hear over
emphysematous lung
• Tympany – musical or drumlike sound from air filled stomach.
• Flatness reflects the most dense tissue while tympany is the least
dense tissue.
Hair, Scalp, Eyes, Ears
• PERRLA
• Normal pupil
• Shape:
• Direct response –
• Consensual
• Accomodation
Ears
•
Ishihara test or Hardy Rand Rittler test
• Bowel sounds
• 5 to 30 sounds/minute.
