Answer to Question 1

coronoid fossa

Rationale: The coronoid process is located on the proximal ulna. Between the coronoid process and the olecranon process exists the trochlear notch which pivots around the trochlea on the distal humerus. With flexion of the arm, the coronoid process will sit within the coronoid fossa which is superior to the trochlea on the anterior distal humerus.

Answer to Question 2

hypotensive

Rationale: A 90/55 mm Hg reading for an adult patient would be classified as hypotensive. The normal systolic range for an adult is 90-140 mm Hg. The normal diastolic range for an adult is 60-90 mm Hg.
