Answer #1

Ans) Vital signs are measurements of the body's most basic functions. The 4 main vital signs routinely checked by healthcare providers include: body temperature, blood pressure, pulse (heart rate), and breathing rate (respiratory rate), often notated as BT, BP, HR, and RR. However, depending on the clinical setting, the vital signs may include other measurements called the "fifth vital sign" eg pain or "sixth vital sign".

Vital signs should be measured:

- Inpatient care: On admission to an infirmary or medical observation bed at the correctional facility. If abnormal, every 30 minutes until evaluated by a physician. If initial vital signs are normal, subsequent vital signs should be taken every four hours for the first 24 hours after admission.
