BP- normal (120/80) (Anything of 140 makes the heart say o
8. Define normal values for BP, lordy) Temp- ((oral- 97.6-99.6)(rectal- 98.6-100.6)(axillary- 96-
heart rate, respirations and 98.6)(tympanic- 96-99.6)(temporal- 97.6-99.6) )
temperature. Pulse- 60-100 bpm
Respirations- 10 to 20
39. Summarize normal capillary Normal- 3 to 5 seconds
refill time versus abnormal Abnormal- less than 3 or more than 5 seconds
findings.
40. Practice dimensional analysis Just practice the problems the professor gave us
problems including; oral meds,
IV meds, tube feeding.
