VITAL SIGNS:
1. WHAT IS THE NORMAL RANGE FOR CHILDREN AND WHAT IS THE NORMAL RANGE FOR INFANT
TEMPERATURE:
PULSE:
RESPIRATIONS:
OXYGEN SATURATION:
BLOOD PRESSURE:
2. EXPLAIN VARIATIONS IN TECHNIQUES FOR ASSESSING VITAL SIGNS IN ADULTS VS AN INFANT AND A CHILD. (EXAMPLE-WHERE TO TAKE THE TEMPERATURE OR THE BLOOD PRESSURE
Homework Answers
1.The normal ranges for children and infants are
| Infants | Children | |
| Temperature | 98.6°F | 98.6°F |
| Pulse | It ranges from 100 to 160 bmp | 60 to 100bpm |
| Respiration | for the first six month it ranges from 100 to 160bpm and after 6 months it decreases and ranges from 24 tp 30 bpm | 12 to 20 breath/minute |
| Oxygen saturation | >95% | >95% |
| Blood pressure |
|
|
2.The main variations exist when taking a temperature and during blood pressure measurement
Infants
T:preferred axilla ,occasionally rectal readings are done as per order
BP:
- cuff applied one inch above elbow and measured
- Cuff applied a few inches above the knee in calf muscle
- Four limb blood pressure screening is also followed now a days
Adult
T:taken via oral ,preferred axilla
BP:measured usually in the upper arm (left or right hand)

Vital Signs Discussion Traditionally, some vital signs, such as pulse and blood pressure, were taken manually. It is not uncommon to see medical facilities use electronic BP cuffs and a pulse oximeter to take the BP and pulse. Do you think that this is an example where technology is a benefit, or is it better to not trust these important measurements to a machine? Please make your posts by the due date assigned. Then read the posts of your classmates...

Vital Signs Case Study Mr. Charles Lamont is a 64-year-old patient who is visiting his primary care physician with complaints of vomiting x 3 days and inability to keep anything down. His wife is waiting for him in the lobby. She is hoping that Mr. Lamont will tell the physician about his recent bout of coughing and shortness of breath. He smokes 1½ packs of cigarettes per day. His wife has been encouraging him to stop, but he has not...

IGNORE THE ANSWER THAT WAS CHOSEN
The nurse is assessing a client who had an open cholecystectomy 36 hours ago. The client's vital signs are as follows: temperature, 99.8° F (37.7° C); pulse, 118; respirations, 28; blood pressure, 156/94 mm Hg; oxygen saturation, 94%. The client is restless and has tremors. Based on these findings, it would be essential for the nur to 01. inspect the client's incision for signs of infection 02. assess the client's abdomen for signs of...
