2nd spacing
Which type of fluid spacing is this? Abnormal accumulation of interstitial fluid (edema)
1st spacing

idiopathic pain
Which type of pain does this describe: A form of chronic pain without a known cause.
nociceptive pain
Which type of pain does this describe: A pain sensation that results abruptly after injury. Normal stimulation of peripheral nerve endings called nociceptors.
somatic pain
Which type of pain does this describe: Pain arising from the connective tissues, skin, bones, muscles, or joints.
visceral pain
Which type of pain does this describe: Pain arising from the organs or viscera- GI tract, pancreas, etc.
neuropathic pain
Which type of pain does this describe: Pain associated with damaged or malfunctioning nerves due to illness, injury or undetermined reasons. Abnormal processing of sensory input by the peripheral or central nervous system.
referred pain
Which type of pain does this describe: Pain that arises from a different area than the source
chronic pain
Which type of pain is this? Not protective. Is ongoing or frequent and lasts 6> months. Physiological responses do not usually alter VS. Psychological responses can lead to disability. Management aims at symptomatic pain relief, but pain does not always respond to interventions. Can be malignant or nonmalignant.
acute pain
Which type of pain is this? Protective, temporary, usually self-limiting, has a direct cause, and resolves with tissue healing. Physiological responses: - increased HR & BP - anxiety - diaphoresis - muscle tension Behavioral Responses: - grimacing - moaning - flinching - guarding Interventions- treat underlying problem
P wave
Which wave on the EKG is this: - first deflection from isoelectric line - depolarization of the atria
T wave
Which wave on the EKG is this: - ventricular repolarization
QRS complex
Which wave on the EKG is this: -depolarization of the ventricles
