VITAL SIGNS
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are Vital Signs | Pulse, Respiration, Blood Pressure along with body temperature |
| What is the normal pulse rate for adult | 60/100 beats/min |
| Pulse Rate and Rhythm can be measure by what | It can be measured by auscultation or palpation of any artery |
| What ways can pulse be checked | Radial Artery, Brachial Artery, Femoral Artery, Carotid artery and Pedal |
| Which artery is most commonly used to check for a pulse | Radial Artery |
| How is pulse calculated | The pulse is counted for 15 seconds and multiplied by 4 to get beats/min |
| What is the normal respiratory rate | 12-20 breaths/min |
| How is respiratory rate measured | By inspection of the movement of the chest for 1 minute |
| What is the normal blood pressure for adults | 110-120/70-80 |
| What is used to measure blood pressure | Sphygmomanometer |
| What are the ways Body temperature can be measured | orally, rectally, or axillary |
| What is normal Body temperature | 37 degree Celsius ( 97 degrees F) |
| What is fever | Higher than normal body temperature (hyperthermia) |
| What are Vital Signs | Pulse, Respiration, Blood Pressure along with body temperature |

| What does pulse oximetry estimate | non-invasively estimates hemoglobin oxygen saturation of arterial blood |
| What is the normal pulse oximetry | 95%-99% for adults 91%-96% for children |
| What factors affect the accuracy of pulse oximetry reading | Lots of movement, Bright light, extreme cold, extreme darkness, high methemoglobin |
| Respiratory rate less than 12 | Bradypnea |
| Respiratory rate greater than 12 | tachypnea |
| heart rate less than 60 | Bradycardia |
| Heart rate greater than 100 | Tachycardia |
| What is Hypotension | blood pressure less than 90/60 |
| what is hypertension | Blood pressure greater than 140/90 |
