Vital signs Homeostasis Measurements that indicate pts general state of health and homeostasis Homeostasis Stable condition of internal environment

4 vital signs are TPR BP Temperature (T) Pulse (P) Respiration (R) Blood Pressure (BP)

TEMPERATURE Balance between heat loss and heat production in the body Factors affecting Temperature Age Environment Activity Time of day Emotions Physiological processes

Normal Values Oral/Tympanic (ear): 98.6°F Rectal: 99.6 °F Axillary (armpit): 97.6°F

Key Terms Febrile Afebrile Onset

Characteristics of Pulse Rate: # of beats in one minute Rhythm: regular or irregular Volume: strong or weak Condition of arterial walls: bouncy/soft, hard/wire-like

Types of thermometers Glass Disposable Electronic Tympanic Temporal:

Pulse Felt as the arteries expand temporarily with each heart beat Characteristics Rate: # of beats/min Rhythm: regular or irregular Volume: weak or strong Condition of arterial walls: bouncy or firm

Adult: 60-90 beats per minute Normal Values Adult: 60-90 beats per minute

Common Pulse Sites Carotid: side of neck Brachial: antecubital space Radial: thumb side of wrist Apical: left side of chest; 5th intercostal space

Define: Bradycardia Tachycardia Key Terms Define: Bradycardia Tachycardia

Respiration Characteristics The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. 1 inspiration + 1 expiration= 1 respiration Characteristics Rate: # of breaths/min Rhythm: regular or irregular Depth: deep or shallow

Adults 12-20 Breaths per minute Normal values Adults 12-20 Breaths per minute

Key Terms Define: Dyspnea Apnea Hyperpnea/Tachypnea Bradypnea

Blood Pressure Diastolic Written as a fraction: Systolic Diastolic Systolic: pressure exerted on arterial walls during contraction of the heart Diastolic: pressure exerted on the arterial walls during relaxation of the heart

Adult Average: 120/80 mmHg Adult Normal Range: 100-140 60-90 Normal Values Adult Average: 120/80 mmHg Adult Normal Range: 100-140 60-90
