V ITAL S IGNS Pulse

O BJECTIVES accurately measure an oral temperature, as well as radial pulse and respiration; evaluate a peer using skills check; and illustrate, with a graph, temperature, pulse and respiration.

V ITAL SIGNS INCLUDE A. Temperature B. Pulse C. Respiration D. Blood Pressure

P ULSE A. Wave of blood produced by beating of heart and traveling along the artery B. Can feel at points where the artery is between finger tips and a bony area C. These areas are called pulse points

PULSE POINTS 1. Temporal 2. Carotid 3. Apical 4. Brachial 5. Radial 6. Femoral 7. Popliteal 8. Dorsal Pedalis

P ULSE D. Measured by index, middle, and ring fingers over pulse point. E. Do not take with the thumb, since it has a pulse of its own. F. Count for 30 seconds and multiply by 2, or count for 60 seconds

P ULSE R ANGES G. Normal range is 60 – 100 beats per minute. The area of is a gray area in that a pulse should never constantly remain in this area. H. > than 100 = tachycardia I. < than 90 = bradycardia

Q UALITY OF PULSE Quality of pulse is determined as well as rate 1. Rhythm – regular or irregular 2. Strength – Bounding or thready

C IRCUMSTANCES AFFECTING PULSE RATE 1. Body temperature 2. Emotions 3. Activity level 4. Health of heart

P ERFUSION L. Perfusion is the flow of blood throughout the body. Someone with sufficient perfusion has a strong enough heart beat to adequately oxygenate the body.

D OCUMENTATION Document immediately Chart on graph

Q UIZ /R EVIEW 1. What does Pulse measure? 2. What are the pulse points? 3. List the pulse points. 4. Where do you “normally” take a person’s pulse? 5. Why? 6. How long do you count the pulse? 7. What range is the “normal” pulse? 8. What is the gray area? 9. What is the range for higher than normal pulse? 10. What is it called? 11. What is the range for lower than normal pulse? 12. What is it called? 13. What does quality refer to for a pulse? 14. What four things can affect pulse? 15. What is perfusion?
