7)Baseline Vital Signs And Sample History
This document provides guidance on performing a baseline medical assessment of a patient, including vital signs and SAMPLE history. It describes how to evaluate respiratory rate and sounds, pulse rate, blood pressure, temperature, skin signs, pupils, and collect a SAMPLE history which inquires about the patient's signs/symptoms, allergies, medications, pertinent medical history, last oral intake, and events leading to the present illness or injury. Performing a thorough baseline assessment establishes the patient's initial medical status and provides information to guide care.
Vital signs - Temperature Monitoring
This document summarizes information about body temperature measurement and regulation. It discusses that body temperature is determined by the balance of heat production and heat loss. The core temperature is most important to maintain for organ function. Temperature can be measured orally, axillary, tympanically, or rectally using various types of thermometers. Many factors like environment, activity level, and illness can affect one's temperature. The hypothalamus controls thermoregulation to keep the body at its set point temperature through sweating, shivering, and blood vessel constriction/dilation.
Vital Signs
Vital signs are objective measures that provide health information. The four main vital signs are temperature, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure. Temperature is maintained by the hypothalamus and normal ranges are 97-99°F. Pulse is measured by feeling the radial artery and normal adult rates are 60-100 beats per minute. Respiration is measured by counting rises and falls of the chest and normal adult rates are 12-20 per minute. Blood pressure is measured using a sphygmomanometer and cuff and a normal reading is below 120/80 mmHg.
Vital signs - Blood pressure Monitoring
This document discusses vital signs and provides detailed information about assessing and interpreting blood pressure. It defines blood pressure and its components, describes the equipment used for measurement including sphygmomanometers and stethoscopes, identifies assessment sites on the body, explains Korotkoff sounds heard during measurement, outlines the procedure for taking a reading, and reviews factors that can affect blood pressure values. Abnormal readings and variations like auscultatory gaps are also addressed.
Vital signs
vital signs consisting of temperature, pulse, respiration, blood pressure, oxygen saturation & pain.
Vital Signs
Vital signs provide important information about a patient's physiological status. They include level of consciousness, pupils, breathing, pulse, skin, blood pressure, and temperature. Assessing vital signs involves evaluating factors like respiratory rate and depth, pulse rate and quality, skin color and temperature, and blood pressure. Together, vital signs give medical responders insight into a patient's condition to determine the best treatment and need for transport.
Vital signs
Vital signs are measurements of basic body functions including body temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate, and blood pressure. Body temperature is normally between 97.8-99°F and can be taken orally, by ear, on the skin, under the arm, or rectally. Pulse is the heart rate measured in beats per minute, normally 60-100 bpm. Respiration is breaths per minute, normally 12-16. Blood pressure includes systolic (contraction) and diastolic (relaxation) pressures in mmHg, with normal being below 120/80 mmHg.
Vital signs
Vital signs are measurements that indicate life, including heart rate, breathing rate, temperature, and blood pressure. They can be observed and monitored to assess a person's health status. Normal vital signs can vary by age, sex, weight, exercise, and other factors. Temperature is usually measured orally and normal temperature ranges are 98.6°F (37°C) orally and slightly higher in other areas. Blood pressure has a normal range of 120/80 and is measured using a sphygmomanometer and cuff on the upper arm. Respiration rate is counted by observing rises and falls of the chest and has a normal range between 12-20 breaths per minute.

Vital Signs - 2017
Vital signs are one of the most important assessments nurses perform, as they provide insight into a patient's condition. A nurse is responsible for measuring, interpreting, and monitoring vital signs based on factors like a patient's history, condition, and medical orders. Common vital signs include temperature, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure. Nurses must know normal ranges and be able to identify any significant changes in a patient's vital signs.
Vital signs
Vital signs are physical measurements that indicate whether an individual is alive and include heart rate, breathing rate, temperature, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation. They are affected by factors like age, sex, weight, exercise, and medical conditions. Vital signs are usually measured when patients are admitted to healthcare facilities, experience changes in health status, before and after medical procedures, and every 4 hours for patients with specific conditions. Abnormal vital signs include fever, very high or low temperature, fast or slow heart rate or breathing, and high or low blood pressure.

Temperature, pulse, respiration, blood pressure (BP), and oxygen saturation, are measurements that indicate a person’s hemodynamic status. These are the five vital signs most frequently obtained by health care practitioners (Perry, Potter, & Ostendorf, 2014). Vital signs will potentially reveal sudden changes in a patient’s condition and will also measure changes that occur progressively over time. A difference between patients’ normal baseline vital signs and their present vital signs may indicate the need for intervention (Perry et al., 2014). Checklist 15 outlines the steps to take when checking vital signs.

Vital signs including temperature, pulse, respiratory rate, and blood pressure are essential for nursing assessment and monitoring patient health. Proper technique and equipment are required to accurately measure each vital sign. Nurses must be aware of normal ranges and know when to re-assess based on patient condition or procedures. Urine and other specimen collection are also important for diagnostic testing and monitoring the effects of treatment.
Diagnostic Procedures Of The Cardiovascular System
The document discusses several common diagnostic procedures for the cardiovascular system:
Doppler ultrasound uses sound waves to evaluate blood flow and can detect blocked arteries or blood clots. A Holter monitor continuously records the heart's electrical activity while worn for 24-48 hours during normal activity to check for irregular rhythms. Stress testing monitors the heart and increases physical exertion on a treadmill to assess how well the heart handles increased demand and blood flow requirements. Other procedures mentioned include angiography, cardiac scans, echocardiography, venography, cardiac catheterization, and electrocardiography.
