Explanation:

Question 8

The definition "Pressure of bld (blood) pressing against walls of arteries as heart works & heart rests" matches the term "Pulse", as pulse is the pressure wave of blood in arteries from heart contractions.

The definition "Describes the strength or intensity of the pulse" matches the term "Volume", as pulse volume refers to the strength/intensity of the pulse.

The definition "Term used to describe volume of pulse; strong" matches the term "Bounding", as a bounding pulse is strong in volume. (Note: The original handwritten "Thready" is incorrect here; "Thready" is a weak pulse. The correct term for a strong pulse volume is "Bounding".)

Answer:

Pulse
