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.

Mesurement of pulse and Respiratory rate pptx.pptx
1) Pulse rate, rhythm, and strength are important vital signs measured to assess a person's health status and response to medications or activities.
2) Normal pulse rate for adults is 60-100 beats per minute, though trained athletes may have lower rates. Tachycardia is over 100 bpm and bradycardia is under 60 bpm.
3) Respiration rate is also important to monitor and is normally 12-20 breaths per minute. Abnormal respiratory patterns include tachypnea, bradypnea, dyspnea, and hypoventilation or hyperventilation.
Vitals sign pulse
This document discusses vital signs and pulse. It defines pulse as the expansion and recoil of arteries in response to heart pumping. Normal pulse is 60-100 beats/minute. Pulse is checked to assess heart rate, rhythm, and strength. Factors like age, sex, activity level can affect pulse. Common pulse sites include radial, carotid, apical. Proper technique is used to accurately count pulse for one minute.
Vital sign FINAL
Body temperature and pulse are two important vital signs that provide information about a person's health status. Body temperature reflects the balance between heat production and heat loss in the body, and it is usually measured orally, axillary, rectally or tympanically. Factors like age, exercise, hormones and environment can affect one's body temperature. An abnormal increase in temperature is called a fever, while hypothermia refers to abnormally low body temperature. Pulse is the wave of blood flow felt through arteries with each heartbeat. It is usually measured at sites like the radial, carotid or apical artery. Factors like age, exercise, fever and medications can impact one's pulse rate.

Proper body mechanics is important for preventing injury to both nurses and patients. Maintaining good posture, using leverage techniques for movement rather than lifting when possible, and keeping the back straight are among the principles discussed for safe movement and transferring of patients. Improper body mechanics can lead to issues like pressure sores, contractures and foot drop.
Approach to the physical Assessment
The document discusses guidelines for performing a thorough physical assessment of a patient. It emphasizes using all senses to objectively examine the entire body in a systematic way from head to toe. The assessment should include inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation techniques while being sensitive to the patient's needs and responses. The goal is to identify health issues but also strengths to develop an appropriate care plan.
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 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.
Body temerature (3)
Body temperature is measured in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit and normally ranges from 36-37.4°C orally. There are core and surface temperatures, with core being more constant near 37°C. Factors like basal metabolic rate, activity, and hormones influence heat production, while radiation, conduction, convection, and vaporization cause heat loss. Fever is a raised temperature over 37.5°C often caused by pyrogens like bacteria. Hypothermia is a lowered temperature below 35°C caused by exposure to cold. Nursing care for temperature issues focuses on monitoring, hydration, comfort measures, and antipyretic administration.

vital signs procedure 10 11 22.pptx
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.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
