Body Measurements And Vital Signs
Vital signs(cardinal signs) are used by health care personnel to identify the measurement of body functions that are essential to life
The four vital indicators are:
1. Temperature
2. Pulse
3. Respiration
4. Blood Pressure
The correct measurement of vital signs is extremely important
Never-ever estimate the measurement
![Page 9: BENCHMARK V REVIEW CLINICAL LABORATORY. Beginning the patient’s record Triage: “to sort” making decisions based on the seriousness of the patient’s condition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ef15503460f94c02e5d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Temperature
The accurate measurement of temperature can help the physician make a diagnosis
Average Oral Axillary Rectal
normal 98.6 97.6 99.6
temperature:
Range: 97.6- 99.6 96.6-98.6 98.6-100.6

Pulse
Each time the heart beats, blood is forced into the aorta, temporarily expanding its walls and initiating a wavelike effect
The pulse can be felt in several locations on the body(page 659)
What is an apical pulse and how is it located? How long do you count an apical pulse?
![Page 12: BENCHMARK V REVIEW CLINICAL LABORATORY. Beginning the patient’s record Triage: “to sort” making decisions based on the seriousness of the patient’s condition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ef15503460f94c02e5d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Pulse The average adult pulse rate 72 beats per minute
Pulse rate is directly related to age, the younger the person, the faster the heartbeat
Age Pulse rate
Less than 1 year 100-170
2-6 years 90-115
6-10 years 80-110
11-16 years 70-95
Midlife adult 65-80
Older adult 50-65

Respirations
The normal respiration rate for adults is 16 to 20 times per minute
Newborns: range 30 to 80 Early childhood: range 20 to 40 Late childhood: 16 to 20 Abnormally slow respiration rate is
known as bradypnea Abnormally fast respiration rate is known
as tachypnea

Blood Pressure The term blood pressure means the
fluctuating pressure that the blood exerts against the arterial walls as the heart alternately contracts and relaxes
An adult should have a systolic pressure less than 120 and a diastolic pressure less than 80
Above 140/90 indicates stage 1 hypertension Above 160/100 indicates stage 2

QRS wave: this represents the spread of the electrical impulse through the ventricular muscle (depolarization)
T wave: represents repolarization (recovery)

Stress Testing & Holter Monitoring The stress test is done while a
patient is exercising on a
treadmill(with ECG) The MA will monitor the blood pressure This can detect the unknown cause of the
patient’s heart trouble
Holter monitor: is a test done over a period of 24 hours: for intermittent or irregular chest pain or irregular heart beats.

The Infection Cycle 1. Reservoir host: infected by pathogen(ex.
Animals and people) 2. Means of exit: from the reservoir host(ex.
Mouth, open wounds, throat ect.) 3. Means of transmission: from one person to
another(ex. person coughs: contaminates hands) 4. Means of entry: Into the host(ex. Mouth,
urinary tract) 5. Susceptible host: one capable of being
infected(ex. Poor health, resistance is low) Page 617
