NURSING: NURSING: VITAL VITAL VITAL SIGNS<br />

SIGNS<br />

Vital signs are measures of various<br />

metabolic and physiological statuses,<br />

often taken by health professionals, in<br />

order to assess the most basic body<br />

functions. Vital signs are an essential part<br />

of a case presentation. The act of taking<br />

vital signs normally entails recording body<br />

temperature, pulse rate (or heart rate),<br />

blood pressure, and respiratory rate, but<br />

may also include other measurements.<br />

Vital signs often vary by age. This video<br />

describes factors that affect the vital signs<br />

and accurate measurement of them while<br />

aware of the variation of normal ranges for<br />

each vital sign. For each sign the lecture<br />

goes on to describe factors influencing its<br />

variation based on physiologic difference,<br />

site of parameter taking and devices used<br />

to obtain data. Nine sites used to assess<br />

the pulse and state the reasons for their<br />

use is an example together with five<br />

phases of Korotkoff's sounds. Other<br />

described features include various<br />

methods and sites used to measure blood<br />

pressure, blood oxygenation using pulse<br />

oximetry and heart rate. This lecture<br />

identifies when it is appropriate to<br />

delegate measurement of vital signs to<br />

unlicensed assistive personnel.<br />
