Document Summary

Know the purpose of performing the tests in terms of what information it can give us. Understand the physiological rationale behind doing each test. Know proper units of measurement for important terms. Be able to convert lbs to kg; convert feet to cm. Which of the sounds/phases do we specifically listen for (and record) when measuring bp in adults and what do these sounds/phases correspond to: systole (one thump)/diastole (second thump or no sounds). Write out the procedural steps for resting measurement of hr and bp. With an increase in exercise intensity, what happens to systolic bp? to diastolic bp? to heart rate: hr increases to mhr, then plateaus, sbp increases to plateau, dbp stays relatively stable, little change. Which arteries do you measure hr from: brachial artery, radial, carotid, brachial, femoral, dorsalis pedis. What sorts of information can it tell us physiologically: fitness status, possible pathologies as rest, or stress induced pathologies.
