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

Danielle Fuller Unit 335 CA Physiological measurements OUTCOME 1: Describe current legislation, national guidelines, organisational policies and protocols affecting work practice. When taking physiological measurements you have to take into account of the standard precautions. Bullet pointed below are some of the legalisations that relate to taking physiological measurements. Confidentiality * It is important to think about confidentiality when taking a patients physiological measurements

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

that were produced by the muscles after the exercise. Improvement/Recommendations: An improvement to the experiment could be doing the trials for a longer amount of time until it reached the resting heart rate, using a heart rate monitor or manual pulse reading for the whole experiment instead of alternating between

minute. Usually, humans have their heart rate range between 60 bpm and 90 bpm. Heart rate is determined or measured by finding the pulse in the body. You can find your pulse in your wrist, and the side of your neck. How the pulse works is that in each beat, the heart pumps blood in the blood vessels. As the blood travels, the blood vessels enlarge and this is known as a pulse. There are many factors that can affect your heart rate. Some factors that can speed up or slow down the heart rate is stress,

someone’s pulse, and when the person being measured isn’t subconscious of it. The professionals usually pretend to carry on taking the heart rate of the client so they don’t realise what’s happening, as the person could start consciously breath and control their breaths. A normal persons breathing rate before exercise is 12-20 breaths. This is just an average on people my age. However with my 11 breaths per minute being under the average doesn’t mean I am not an exception. As I have a low pulse rate

All the cranial nerves are intact, except that the patient has decreased sensation in all extremities. I could not find the pulse on her both feet. In this case, a Doppler would have been used to listen to the pedal pulse. Also, cranial nerve five, which is also known as the facial nerve was not tested, because the patient complained of pain in the jaw. She also expressed difficulties opening her mouth111111111111 There are two distinguishing wounds on the patient, the first one is on the right

tech/secretary examined the patient and documented that the patient blood pressure in both arms were equal. After Dr. Jones examined the patient to compare it with Ms. Smith evaluation he noticed discrepancy in the physical exams. The patient radial pulse in the left arm felt diminished compared to the right. The systolic blood pressure in the left arm was 60mm/hg less than the right, therefore the left hand is most suitable for an access procedure because the patient was right handed. Dr. Jones followed

Aroma therapy has been speculated to have significant positive effects for calming throughout medical history. It has been known in alternative medicine to reduce anxiety, stress, and even ease physical pain. Although aroma therapy has been used in alternative medicine for decades, it is unclear what effect it has on the heart physically. What effects does aroma therapy have on the heart and what specific heart intervals are effected? How do these increments coincide with lowering heart rates and
