Vital Signs They
are called vital signs because they are important. They include: Temperature Pulse Respirations Blood pressure Vital signs and other physiologic measurements can be part of data base for problem solving. Many facilities have developed a fifth vital sign pain level/comfort level. Slide 2 Slide 2 Mosby items and derived items © 2006, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1991 by Mosby,© 2005 by Elsevier Inc. Elsevier items and derived items Inc.

Guidelines for Measuring
Vita Signs The nurse must be able to do all of the following: Measure vital signs correctly Ensures that equipment are in proper working condition Control environmental factors affecting vital signs Understand and interpret the values Communicate findings appropriately Begin interventions as needed Slide 3 Slide 3 Mosby items and derived items © 2006, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1991 by Mosby,© 2005 by Elsevier Inc.

Temperature Temperature is
a relative measure of sensible heat or cold. The body strives to maintain a temperature of 98.6° F (37° C), which is considered normal. Normal range is 97° to 99.6° F (36.1° to 37.5°C). Many factors can cause body temperature variances. Environment, time of day, patient’s state of health, activity levels, and stage of monthly menstrual cycle The hypothalamus helps maintain a balance between heat lost and heat produced by the body. Slide 5 Slide 5 Mosby items and derived items © 2006, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1991 by Mosby,© 2005 by Elsevier Inc. Elsevier items and derived items Inc.

Temperature Two Types of
Body Temperature Core Temperature Temperature of the deep tissues of the body Remains relatively constant unless exposed to severe extremes in environmental temperature Assessed by using a thermometer Surface Temperature Temperature of the skin May vary a great deal in response to the environment Assessed by touching the skin Slide 6 Slide 6 Mosby items and derived items © 2006, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1991 by Mosby,© 2005 by Elsevier Inc. Elsevier items and derived items Inc.
7.
Temperature Temperature measurements are
obtained by several methods. Heat-sensitive patches Patch placed on the skin; color changes on the patch indicate temperature readings Electronic thermometers Consist of a rechargeable battery-powered display unit, a thin wire cord, and a temperature processing probe Tympanic thermometer Special form of electronic thermometer; inserted into auditory canal Slide 7 Slide 7 Mosby items and derived items © 2006, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1991 by Mosby,© 2005 by Elsevier Inc. Elsevier items and derived items Inc.

Tympanic Thermometers Advantages –
may be more accurate than traditional thermometers, easy to use, suitable for all ages. Core temperature readings – shares blood supply with the hypothalamus More accurate readings in patients with rapid changes in temperature.

Temperature Oral temperature
is not obtained in the comatose or disoriented patient or in small infants. Rectal temperatures are contraindicated for patients with recent rectal surgery or certain conditions of the perineum. Axillary temperature is considered the least accurate method. Rectal readings are normally 1° F higher than oral, and axillary readings are 1° F lower than oral.

Pulse Is a
rhythmic beating or vibrating movement. The pulse is the regular, recurrent expansion and contraction of an artery produced by waves of pressure caused by the ejection of blood from the left ventricle of the heart as it contracts. The nurse notes the rate, rhythm, and volume of the pulse. Adult pulse rate is normally between 60 and 100 beats per minute. Slide 19 19 Slide Mosby items and derived items © 2006, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1991 by Mosby,© 2005 by Elsevier Inc. Elsevier items and derived items Inc.

Pulse Tachycardia The
pulse is faster than 100 beats per minute. It may result from shock, hemorrhage, exercise, fever, acute pain, and drugs. Bradycardia The pulse is slower than 60 beats per minute. It may result from unrelieved severe pain, drugs, resting, and heart block. Slide 22 22 Slide Mosby items and derived items © 2006, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1991 by Mosby,© 2005 by Elsevier Inc. Elsevier items and derived items Inc.
23.
Pulse Dysrhythmia Any
disturbance or abnormality in a normal rhythmic pattern, specifically irregularity in the normal rhythm of the heart Any artery can be assessed for pulse rate, but the radial and carotid arteries are peripheral pulse sites that are easily palpated. The radial and apical locations are the most common sites for pulse rate assessment. Slide 23 23 Slide Mosby items and derived items © 2006, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1991 by Mosby,© 2005 by Elsevier Inc.

Pulse Pulses on
both sides of the peripheral vascular system should be assessed. Pulses are palpated using the pads of the index and middle fingers; only slight pressure is applied over the artery to avoid obliterating the pulse. Apical pulse represents the actual beating of the heart. When auscultated, the “lubb-dubb” heard represents one cardiac cycle, or heartbeat. Pulse deficit: difference between the radial and apical rates; signifies that the pumping action of the heart is faulty.

Blood Pressure Sphygmomanometer
A device for measuring the arterial blood pressure Consists of an inflatable cuff and a gauge The cuff is inflated around the patient’s arm to compress the artery; then it is slowly deflated while the nurse listens at the brachial artery with a stethoscope and hears pulsating sounds. Korotokoff sounds: The first sound heard is the systolic pressure; the point at which the last sound is heard is the diastolic pressure.

Blood Pressure Assessment of
Blood Pressure in the Lower Extremities Occasionally, the upper extremities may be inaccessible, so blood pressure must be measured in the lower extremities. The popliteal artery, located behind the knee, is the site for auscultation. The cuff must be wide and long enough to allow for the larger girth of the thigh and is positioned with the bladder over the posterior aspect of the midthigh.

When Vital Signs
Are Assessed Temperature, pulse, respirations, and blood pressure are usually assessed at the same time at set intervals. A set of vital signs is taken when the patient is admitted to the facility and then as prescribed by the physician or as policy dictates. Example: every 4 hours; once a shift; weekly Slide 55 55 Slide Mosby items and derived items © 2006, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1991 by Mosby,© 2005 by Elsevier Inc. Elsevier items and derived items Inc.

When Vital Signs
Are Assessed The more ill the patient, the more frequently vital signs are taken. Vital signs are interrelated. A rise in temperature of 1° F may cause an increase in pulse rate of 4 beats per minute. Respiratory rate and blood pressure readings increase with a rise in temperature. Blood pressure falls because of hemorrhage, the pulse and respirations increase and the temperature usually decreases.

Recording Vital Signs Any
abnormal findings are reported to the nurse- manager or physician immediately. Any accompanying or precipitating signs and symptoms such as chest pain, vertigo, shortness of breath, flushing, and diaphoresis should be recorded as well. The nurse documents any interventions initiated as a result of vital sign measurement, such as tepid sponging.
