Vital signs - Answer used to monitor the functioning of body systems
Name 5 vital signs - Answer Temp, pulse, respiration, BP and pain
Temperature - Answer measurable heat of the body
Pulse - Answer detectable rhythmic expansion of an artery that occurs iwth the pumping
action of the beating heart.
How is Pulse measured? - Answer number of heartbeats per minute
Blood pressure - Answer measurable pressure of blood within the systemic arteries
Respiration - Answer act of breathing
What is assessed alongside respirations - Answer oxygen saturation
Pain - Answer physical suffering or discomfort caused by injury or illness
Pulse Oximetry - Answer measures the amount of oxygen available to tissues
SOCRATES - Answer Site - where is pain located
Onset - When did it start / gradual or sudden
Character - quality of the pain (stab,burn,ache)
Radiation - radiate anywhere else
Associations - signs/symptoms associated with it
Time course - any pattern to the pain
Exacerbating / relieving factors - anything make it better
Severity - 1-10 scale of intensity
