right sternal border
i. Part of stethoscope used to auscultate
normal heart sounds
j. The portion of the stethoscope used to
assess for murmurs
k. Deficient supply of oxygenated arterial
blood to a tissue; caused by obstruction of a
blood vessel
l. Swollen, distended, and knotted veins;
occur most commonly in the legs
m. Usuaily occur on tips of toes, metatarsal
heads, and lateral malleoli; ulcers have pale
ischemic base, well-defined edges, and no
bleeding
n. Swelling caused by excess fluid
o. Usually occur on medial malleoli; ulcers
have bleeding uneven edges

nail beds after they have been blanched by
pressure; a good measure of peripheral
perfusion and cardiac output
q. Rigid peripheral blood vessels; occurs
more commonly in older adults

monitor blood pressure in infants or children
and to measure blood pressure in a lower
extremity; it magnifies pulse sounds from
the heart and blood vessels
