They are measurements of various human physiological characteristics, generally take by health professionals, to assess the most basic bodily functions.

4

Open Ended

Question image

Write what are the vital signs:

5

The vital Signs are:

  • Blood Pressure

  • Temperature

  • Breathing Frequency

  • Heart Rate

  • Oxygen Saturation

6

Multiple Select

This alteration is when blood pressure is too high

1

Tachycardia

2

Bradycardia

3

Hypertension

4

Hypotension

7

Hypertension

Hypertension is diagnosed if, when it is measured on two different days, the systolic blood pressure readings on both days is >140mmhg or the diastolic blood pressure readings on both days is >90mmhg

8

Degress of Hypertension

  • Normal is -120mmhg/-80mmhg

  • Prehypertension is 120-139 /80-89 mmhg

  • Hypertension Grade 1 : 140-159/90-99 mmhg

  • Hypertension Grade 2: 160-180/100-110 mmhg

  • Hypertensive crisis: >180/>110 mmgh

9

Multiple Choice

A blood pressure of 160/110 mmhg is considered within the degrees of hypertension as:

1

Normal

2

Prehypertension

3

Hypertension Grade 1

4

Hypertension Grade 2

Temperature

The temperature of the human body is in a range between 36.5 °C and 37.5 °C. This temperature varies according to several factors, such as gender, ages, time of day, the part of the body where the measurement is made, and the state of consciousness, health, and emotions.

11

Multiple Select

According to the body temperature of a person if it presents 37.1 ° C-37.5 ° C the patient presents a:

1

Fever

2

Febrícula

3

Hipertermia

4

Normal

Write where you can take body temperature.

13

Heart Rate

Heart rate is the speed of the heartbeat measured by the number of contractions (beats) of the heart per minute.

A normal heart rate, when you are not being active, is between

60-100 beats per minute.

14

Multiple Choice

When the heart rate is elevated the person presents:

1

Tachycardia

2

Bradycardia

3

Tachypnea

4

Bradipnea

15

Fill in the Blank

Write the parameters of the heart rate of the following age ranges:

1. RN: ___________

2. Child 1-10 years: __________

3. Child of 10 - adults: ________

16

Breathing Frequency

  • The respiratory rate is the rate at which breathing occurs.

  • This is usually measured in breaths per minute and is set and controlled by the respiratory centre.

17

Multiple Choice

How much is the range of respiratory rate in an NB: __________

1

12-20 rpm

2

20-30 rpm

3

30-50 rpm

18

Open Ended


Write and define the 2 possible alterations in respiratory rate:

19

Oxygen saturation


  • The term oxygen saturation is a particular case of saturation that is used to indicate the amount of a gas in a liquid.

  •  In medicine, oxygen saturation is measured in body fluids, usually blood


20

Multiple Choice

How much is the normal parameter of Oxygen Saturation in a human being?

1

100-200%

2

150%

3

99%

4

95-100%

21

Multiple Choice

Soraya is a 56-year-old woman who is sleeping in a tent with her relatives, while she was asleep a snake bit her and she began to sweat a lot, so her relatives decided to call the emergency system 911,

When her relatives arrived, they commented that she is hypertensive and diabetic, the paramedics took her vital signs and found the following figures:


156/110 mmhg

90bpm

20 rpm

89% oxygen saturation

38 ° C


What are the vital signs that the patient has altered?

1
