To make a perfect banana split you will need bananas, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and hot fudge, strawberry, and caramel syrups. You cut the bananas in half lengthwise and place them on a dish with space for ice cream. Then scoop three balls of ice cream and place them on the bananas, topping each with a different syrup - hot fudge, strawberry, or caramel. Finally, add whipped cream, nuts, and cherries to complete this classic dessert.
3.01 vital signs
Vital signs provide important information about a patient's health status and include measurements of temperature, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure. Changes in vital signs could indicate disease or deterioration in health, so accuracy is important. Nurses must report any abnormal vital sign measurements immediately to the supervising provider.
Assessment of vital sign
This document provides an assessment of common vital signs, including consciousness, body temperature, respiration, blood pressure, and pulse. It details normal ranges and clinical significance. Consciousness is evaluated using the Glasgow Coma Scale. Normal body temperature is 36-36.9°C. Fever symptoms include perspiration, skin redness, and headache. Respiration is normally 12-20 breaths per minute, while hypertension is defined as blood pressure over 150/90 mmHg. The pulse is normally 60-90 beats per minute.

Vital signs
Vital signs provide important health information. The most common vital signs measured are temperature, pulse, blood pressure, and respiration. Alterations in vital signs can indicate a need for further intervention. Personal care workers are responsible for accurately recording clients' vital signs according to workplace protocols and reporting any abnormalities to supervisors or medical professionals.

The Vital Signs Report, prepared and updated by the Community Foundation of Collier County, is a snapshot of the indicators of community need in Collier County, Florida. The data informs the Community Foundation's grantmaking process and guides area donors in matching their charitable gift interests with the needs of the community.
Vital signs group ppt_FINAL
This document provides guidance on monitoring vital signs while taking medications and exercising. It defines the key vital signs - temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. It explains normal ranges and how medications and activities can affect readings. Guidelines are given for safely taking each vital sign at home and when to contact a doctor. An example patient case is presented to demonstrate applying the guidelines when deciding if exercise is safe. The document aims to help patients and physical therapists understand vital sign monitoring in the context of medication use and exercise.
Chapter 5 pain - the fifth vital sign
This document discusses pain management. It defines pain and different types of pain such as acute and chronic. It also discusses opioid analgesics, their side effects and ways to prevent side effects. Non-opioid analgesics and the WHO analgesic ladder for treating different levels of pain are covered. Methods of pain assessment and routes of opioid administration are summarized.

Concised training version
This document is a training module for doctors and nurses on implementing pain as the 5th vital sign in a Malaysian hospital from 2008-2010. It discusses the importance of proper pain assessment and management. The objectives are to promote better communication between doctors/nurses and patients, improve patient satisfaction and care, and help manage pain more effectively. Guidelines are provided on assessing and documenting pain at regular intervals, using scales like numerical rating or Wong-Baker faces, and treating pain per the WHO analgesic ladder.
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 signs
Vital signs include blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, BMI, and body temperature. Blood pressure is measured by the force of blood in the arteries and is written with the systolic pressure over the diastolic pressure. Normal blood pressure is below 120/80 mmHg, while hypertension is 140/90 mmHg or higher. Heart rate is the number of heart beats per minute and can be measured at different pulse points. Respiratory rate is the number of breaths per minute and is normally between 12-20 breaths per minute. BMI is a measure of body fat based on height and weight, and normal BMI is between 18.5-24.9. Body temperature is normally around 98-100°F, with
Project Vital Signs
In order to foster trust and credibility between a project team and its stakeholders, the team has the responsibility to clearly communicate the health of the project. As the leaders of a project, we can apply the metaphor of medical care and their use of "vital signs" to help form a holistic view of the state of the project. Come learn the five "Project Vital Signs", their associated quantitative metrics and how to enable a team to effectively use them as a tool to diagnose and treat project health problems.

definition and normal values and all if more info. needed comment below.

thank you

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.
