WHY DO YOU NEED TO PERFORM ASSESSMENT American Dream Review Institute Inc.
THE 5 STEP NURSING PROCESS Step 1: Assessment Complete data? Lab & x-ray? Multidisciplinary? What is going on? What are my patient’s Learning needs? Step 2: Diagnosis Potential Problems? Top 2 Priorities? Two Measurable Outcomes? Step 5: Evaluation Make a Difference? Modify Plan? Accomplish Outcomes? Step 3: Planning What Shall I do? Interdisciplinary? Resources and Timeline? Not Just Technical Care Involve Patient and Family? Step 4: Implementation Am I Being Effective? Efficient? Have I Delegated Properly?

Cardiac • Neck VeinsPatient at 45 degree angle ( )Neck Veins Flat ( ) Distended ( ) • Heart TonesApical Pulse with StethoscopeRate ?_____________ Rhythm ? ___________Clarity of Sounds ? _________ Abnormal ? ( )Explain ! ____________________________
Heart Tones Heart tones are checked by listening to the apical pulse. This pulse is auscultated with the bell of the stethoscope. Check the apical pulse for rate, rhythm, and clarity of the sounds of the S1 and S2 otherwise known as "lub and dub". Any abnormalities should be reported.
Heart Sounds Heart sounds result from the vibrations from closure of the heart valves and the acceleration and deceleration of blood flow. • S1 - the lub sound that represents closure of the tricuspid and mitral valves. Heard best at the apex. • S2 - the dub sound. This represents closure of the aortic and pulmonic valves. It is the onset of ventricular diastole and is heard best at the aortic area. • S1 split - a slight difference in valve closure timing. This is a normal variation heard best at the right 4th intercostals space.
Heart Sounds • S2 split - this is a splitting of the dub, or the second sound. Heard best during inspiration at the pulmonic area. Usually disappears in the sitting position • S3 (ventricular gallop) - normal in healthy children and young adults and is produced by vibrations of the ventricles due to rapid distention. This may be seen in left ventricular failure. Heard best at the apex with the patient lying on the left side. Heard with the bell of the stethoscope and sounds like “Kentucky”. May indicate incompetence of the mitral and tricuspid valves. S1 S2 S3 Ken tuck ee Lub dub dub
Heart Sounds S4 (atrial gallop or presystolic gallop) - Heard best over the apex with the pt in lying supine. Indicative of increased resistance to filling and may be associated with coronary artery disease, hypertension, aortic stenosis, or the elderly. This sound is heard best with the bell of the stethoscope over the left lower sternal border. It sounds like “Tennessee”. S4 S1 S2 Ten ne see Dub lub dub
Heart Sounds Classifications • Diastolic Murmurs - occur between S2 and S1. Seen in mitral or tricuspid stenosis, aortic or pulmonic insufficiency. • Systolic murmurs - occur between S1 and S2. Seen in aortic or pulmonic stenosis or mitral or tricuspid insufficiency. They are also called holosystolic or parasystolic murmurs.
Heart Sounds Heart Murmurs - are caused by increased flow through normal structures. Areas for Auscultation Mitral murmurs are heard best with the patient in the left lateral position. Aortic murmurs are heard best with the patient sitting and leaning forward after complete exhalation. American Dream Review Institute Inc.

Pulmonary 12. Breath Sounds • Assess anterior and posterior and from side to side, left to right lobe. • Have patient take deep breaths, do not move stethoscope to rapidly to avoid hyperventilating on patients part. • Clear Bilaterally ( ) Left only ( ) Right only ( )diminished, tight bilaterally ( ) • Crackles or Rales, Fine or Coarse Crackles, Rhonchi • Good air flow ( ) Poor air flow ( ) • ICSP __________ American Dream Review Institute Inc.
Breath Sounds The diaphragm of the stethoscope is used for assessing breath sounds. The right middle lobe is assessed by listening on the patient's right side. Have the patient take deep breaths in and out of their mouth. Nose breathing can create air turbulence that may alter the sounds. Breath sounds should be clear bilaterally with good air flow. American Dream Review Institute Inc.
Breath Sounds Normal breath sounds • Bronchial sounds - Pitch: High. Intensity: Loud, predominantly on expiration. Normal findings: A sound like air blown through a hollow tube • Bronchovesicular sounds - Pitch: Moderate. Intensity: Moderate. Normal findings: A blowing sound heard over airways on either side of sternum, at angle of Louis, and between scapulae • Vesicular sounds - Pitch: High on inspiration, low on expiration. Intensity: Loud on inspiration, soft to absent on expiration. Normal findings: Quiet, rustling sounds, heard over periphery American Dream Review Institute Inc.

Breath Sounds ADVENTITIOUS SOUNDS • Crackles (Rales)Where to auscultate: Over lung fields and airways; heard in lung bases first with pulmonary edemaTiming:More obvious during inspirationCause: Moisture, especially in small airways and alveoliDescription: Light crackling, bubbling; nonmusical • Rhonchi (Gurgles) and Coarse CracklesWhere to auscultate: Over larger airwaysTiming: More pronounced during expirationCause: Airways narrowed by bronchospasm or secretionsDescription: Coarse rattling, usually louder and lower-pitched than crackles; described as sonorous, musical. Rhonchi typically clears with coughing.
Breath Sounds • WheezesWhere to auscultate: Over lung fields and airwaysTiming: Inspiration or expirationCause: Airways narrowed by bronchospasm Description: described as sonorous, musical, or sibilantCreaking, Whistling; high-pitched, musical squeaks • Pleural Friction RubWhere to auscultate: Front and side of the lung fieldTiming: InspirationCause: Inflamed parietal and visceral pleural surfaces rubbing together.Description: Grating or squeaking
Neck Veins Neck veins should be checked by having the patient sit at a 45 degree angle. In this position, the jugular veins should be flat. Distended neck veins at 45 degrees are an indicator of over hydration or fluid overload. American Dream Review Institute Inc.

Peripheral Edema Edema, or fluid in the tissues tends to go to dependent areas of the body. This may be the hands, feet or sacrum. For the bed rest patient, the dependent area is most often the sacrum. To check for edema push your finger down on the feet, hands, and sacrum. Observe for indentation or pitting. American Dream Review Institute Inc.
ASSESSMENT SCALE FOR PITTING EDEMA 1+ slight pitting, no visible distortion, disappears rapidly 2+ somewhat deeper pit than 1+, no readily detectable distortion, disappears in 10-15 sec. 3+ pit noticeably deep, may last more than a minute; the dependent extremity looks fuller and swollen. 4+ pit very deep, lasts 2-5 min; dependent extremity is grossly distorted.
