Summer 2015 Content Areas:
o Vital Signs
o Ranges of normal for blood pressure, pulse, respirations,
temperature, and O2 saturation
▪ Bp: 100/60-119/80 P: 60-100 R: 12-20
T: 96.? -99.? O2: 95-100%
o How each vital sign is measured and which equipment/site is most
appropriate for the client?
▪ BP on upper arm or thigh. Pulse at the radial site normally.
Temp tympanic or rectal preferably; oral, axillary, or temporal
is accepted. O2 on unpolished finger.
▪ 80/40 rule for bp cuff bladder length 80% of arm, bladder width
40%
o Interventions for hyper/hypothermia
▪ Hyperthermia: circulating fan, ice packs wrapped, cooling
blankets, tepid or alcohol baths. More than 99F
▪ Hypothermia: warm fluids, warm baths, warm blankets. Less
than 95F
▪ Convert F to C: (T-32) *5/9=C

Developmental Level, Exercise, Hemoglobin, Disease, and
Position
o When to take an apical pulse

1. Pulse for infant is 80-180
2. Newborn respirations are 18-30
3. Medulla Oblongata is control center
4. Cheyne-Stokes: due to head injury, gradual increase in depth of
respirations followed by decrease and then a period of apnea.
5. Kussmaul’s: DKA: Deep, rapid; like hyperventilation
6. Hypoventalation: below 12
7. Agonal: couple breaths per minute
8. Signs of Hypoxia: pallor, tachycardia, nasal flaring, adventitious lung sounds,
