Pulse rate

patient is presenting with a relatively low pulse and respiratory rate, and blood pressure despite clearly being sick. This is an unusual, because normally when someone is sick with a high fever, the pulse rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure are typically elevated above normal ranges. It is very common for diseases that cause a fever to also present with an increase in blood pressure, and pulse rate. When there is a high fever, but a person’s heart rate is below the expected value it is known

Introduction The last week of classes for NURS1005 were a series of clinical skills activities. These activities refreshed the student’s minds on what they will be doing on placement and how to do it. We got assessed on three clinical skills; taking and recording vital signs, blood glucose levels and doing a urine analysis. I’ve chosen to reflect on taking vital signs and how I performed them. Reflection is a very important part of learning from experiences which is essential in nursing. Nursing

like somebody sitting on her chest. Her pain is in the middle of her chest and radiated to her left jaw. Chest pain is relieved by rest and exacerbated by physical activity. She tried Ibuprofen for her pain with no relief. On a scale of 10, she rates the pain as an 8. She denied any major medical history and any hospitalization. She is not using any medication, and she is not allergic to any medication or environmental allergens. She has been married to her husband for 33 years. The Patient is

Abstract: This experiment tested the way that music with different tempo impacted the rate in which the heart pumped blood throughout the body. Music with varying tempo was played to subjects that were sitting and resting while they had a Pulse Oximeter attached to their index finger that monitored their heart rate. The songs played during this experiment were Wild Horses by The Rolling Stones (sixty-two beats per minute), Wild World by Cat Stevens (seventy-two beats per minute), and The Joker by

times that you walk up and the stairs the higher the pulse rate will be become and the higher the oxygen saturation at resting your pulse on average should be 70 – 80 and oxygen saturation should be 98-100%. Method: 1. Take resting pulse rate and oxygen saturation 2. Walk up and down one flight of stairs for 1 minute 3. Take the pulse and oxygen saturation 4. Continue to walk up and down flight of stairs for a minute 5. Stop and take pulse and oxygen saturation 6. Wait one minute for resting

A man named Joe Tiralosi was dead for 40 minutes in NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. A medical team had been trying to save his life using a defibrillator, drugs, and compressions. Usually the boundary line for going without a pulse is about 10 minutes, and the doctors thought he may have had some sore or brain damage due to the lack of oxygen getting to his brain, but the attending physician decided to keep the resuscitation attempts going. Finally, after more than 4,500 chest compressions, Joe Tiralosi’s

Chest Pain Cardiovascular disease is the leading killer for both men and women among all racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. Chest pain is defined as a general term for any dull, aching pain in the thorax, usually referring to that of acute onset, which is often regarded as being myocardial in origin unless proven otherwise (McGraw-Hill n.d.). Chest pain is a warning to seek medical attention and can be caused by many reasons. The subjective complaint of chest pain can vary depending on the

sounds, no bruits heard. Heart sounds were auscultated with the bell and diaphragm of the stethoscope. S1 82/min, even and regular. S2 85/min, even and regular. S3 82/min, even and regular. S4 83/even and regular. No murmurs were heard. The apical pulse rate was 92 bmp, regular and was accessed with patient in sitting position and between the 4th and 5th intercostal space. Patient stated

Strength Muscular strength is much different from muscular endurance. Strength is the extent to how much force your muscles can use and apply. Strength concentrates more on quick and short spurts of energy. An example of how this component of fitness can be tested in an assessment is in the ‘Upper body push and pull strength test’. For this test the equipment used is a Strength Meter dynamometer. You have three tries when doing this test and the best of three is recorded for each test (the push and
