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

inflatable cuff which goes around your upper arm, a small pump to push air into the cuff and a column of mercury (or a dial) to record the pressure within the cuff. As the cuff is inflated with air, the person measuring your BP usually feels for a pulse (brachial artery) in the crook of your elbow. While the pressure within your artery stays higher than that in the cuff, blood can be felt pulsing through. Once the pressure in the cuff becomes greater than that in your artery, the vessel is squashed

tests subjects heart rates after ten minutes of rest, sitting on the floor. Judging that a pulse of 60 to 100 beats per minute is seen as average (allowing room for age and physical condition to factor in), we can see that the test subjects all have what is deemed to be a normal heart rate, Tests One and Two having pulse rates in early 80s whilst Test Three have a pulse in the high 90s. This means the average pulse rate for our subjects was 87 beats per minute. The normal respiration rate for an adult

results indicate that the hypothesis was supported but only for relaxation music and not arousal music, after listening to arousal music heart rate decreased by .4. it shows that participants who listened to relaxation music heart rate was lower before and after than compared to those who listened to arousal music. The average heart-beats per minute prior to the investigation was 77.4 for arousal music and after was recorded to be 77 beats per minute, while the relaxation music was 73.3 before and

vital signs show that the 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

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

The chest pain is accompanied by fatigue and weakness. She denies any recent illness, fever, or weight change. She denies any hypertension and shortness of breath?.She was nauseous with hot flashes and sweating 4 days ago with no vomiting

identifying the patient, we were informed about bed rails, bed position, and call lights (#C2, #C4). The last part of the day involved assessing vital signs, including; temperature (oral, rectal, axillary, and tympanic), assessing pulses, respiratory rates, blood pressure, pulse oximeter assessment, and measuring height and weight. Nurses use vital signs as a starting point and they can learn a lot a person and s/he ailments immediately from this information (#C2). Reflection Our clinical instructor

The diastolic number represents when the vessel is relaxing and blood is getting through without any extra force. Also, this number is represented by the last sound an individual hears in their stethoscope. Aside from BP, heart rate also known as pulse rate, is the number of times a persons heart beats in a minute. (Marieb & Hoehn, 2014, pp. 708-710). Another important concept is mean arterial pressure, which is abbreviated as MAP. This pressure propels blood to body tissues and in the average pressure

sitting, radial pulse rate was 84, pulse ox was 92, respirations were 20, and her temporal temperature was 97.6 ˚ F. L.F.’s radial pulses were equal in both arms. She was able to grasp my fingers equally and strongly with both hands. Her capillary refill lasted one to two seconds. Her breath sounds were normal and clear without productive or nonproductive coughing. L.F.’s apical pulse was 75 with a normal rate and rhythm, and her aortic, pulmonic, erb’s point, tricuspid, and mitral pulses had a normal
