A type of Korotkoff sound that indicates the diastolic pressure in children and in some adults is

A.

tapping.

B.

knocking.

C.

silence.

D.

muffling

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A.    Tapping is the first Korotkoff sound and corresponds to the systolic pressure, not the diastolic pressure.
B.    Knocking does not describe any Korotkoff sound associated with the blood pressure reading.
C.    Silence is typically noted after the muffling sound and indicates the cessation of Korotkoff sounds, which can be used to assess diastolic pressure in adults, but it is not used in children.
D.    The muffling sound occurs before the disappearance of Korotkoff sounds and is often used to mark the diastolic pressure in both children and some adults, making it the correct answer.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. This is because the patient's blood pressure of 98/66 mm Hg, while on the lower side, may be normal for them. It's important to compare it to their baseline to determine if there has been a significant change.
B. The blood pressure is within a normal range for an adult, so immediate notification of hypotension is not required.
C. This can be done after determining if there is a significant change from the baseline.
D. The pulse is not bradycardic (it is within a normal range), so there is no immediate need to notify the doctor regarding bradycardia.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. The newborn’s head is a major source of heat loss due to the large surface area and insufficient
insulation. Covering the head helps maintain body temperature.
B. While the head can be reshaped, the primary reason for covering it is to prevent heat loss, not reshaping.
C. The head is not necessarily wet and doesn't require drying in all cases, making this less relevant.
D. Although the head has large fontanels, this is not the reason it is covered with a cap; preventing heat loss is the priority.
