When should an examiner take vital -As ordered by a provider
signs? -Before and after surgical or diagnostic procedures
-Upon admission
Pulse Rate Pulse rate varies with age, being fast in infancy and
decreases with age.
The rate also varies with gender. After puberty,
females have a slightly faster rate than males.
Which blood pressure reading shows BP 140/90
hypertension stage 2?
The nurse recognizes that with a Pressure present when the ventricles are at rest.
blood pressure reading of 120/90, the
90 reflects what physiologic action? Diastolic
What is an example of a normal heart 48 beats per minute; normal is 60-100
rate for an adult athlete?
What is an example of a normal 92%
oxygen saturation for a client with
chronic lung disease?
,Temperature Temperature is a measurement of the difference
between heat production and heat loss.
While an elevated body temperature can help
destroy foreign invaders (bacteria, viruses, fungi, or
parasites), temperatures exceeding 105° F (40.6° C)
also have the potential to damage normal body cells

, Systolic pressure Top number; measures the pressure in your arteries
when your heart beats and pumps blood; heart is
active
NR: 90-120 mmHg
Diastolic pressure bottom number; measures the pressure in your
arteries when your heart is resting between beats.
NR: 60-80 mmHg
Force of the pulse shows the strength of the heart's stroke volume.
3+ Full, bounding
2+ Normal
1+ Weak, thready
0 Absent
Collecting pulse rate Count the pulsations for one minute. For quicker
ways of obtaining a pulse, counting the pulse for 30
seconds and multiplying by 2,
or counting the pulse for 15 seconds and multiplying
by 4.
