Blood pressure will increase
Respiratory Rate will increase
All of the above: all 3 vital signs increase
Why is it necessary to check more than one vital sign on a patient?
Someone may be unconscious and you can't take their vital signs.

Experiment 1: A group of students performed an experiment to see whether doing jumping jacks for two minutes would increase their blood pressure.
⦁ They had five students perform jumping jacks for two minutes and then measured their blood pressure.
⦁ They repeated the experiment three times.
⦁ They analyzed their results, and since the blood pressure measurements were all above the normal values you’d expect, they concluded that doing jumping jacks does increase blood pressure.
What was wrong with Experiment 1?
They didn’t include a control group.
They didn’t include multiple trials.
They included more than one independent variable.
They should’ve only had one test subject.
