pressure manually. This was a skill that I was not entirely confident in, but I knew it was crucial and something I needed to do; it was essential to put my patient first. I felt for my resident’s brachial pulse, placed the cuff on his upper arm, put the diaphragm of my stethoscope where I felt the pulse, and began squeezing the pump. When I had finished taking his blood pressure, it was very low. I took the blood pressure again, and the second time was just a low as the first. The patient was…

The focus assessment is detailed nursing assessment of specific body systems that relate to the presenting problem of patient and can also involve one or more body systems (RCHM, 2014). In this assessment it concentrates on a specific system of the body that presents problem. This may involve one or more body system. Assessment done to determine the progress towards achieving a desired outcome is also focused assessments. It is used to gather information on a specific health problem. A…

Introduction The purpose of the lab was to see the effects of heart rate and blood pressure when 3 male and 3 female students exercised compared to when they were at rest. My hypothesis is that the data from the exercise part of the experiment will cause both the heart rate and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) to increase more than the resting state. Methods Resting heart rate was recorded in the begging of class. Then the class was divided into groups and from each group, there was a…

Cardiovascular response to acute exercise When you exercise your body goes through chemical and physical changes to accommodate your sport, some of the changes are vasodilation, raise in heart rate and blood pressure change. When you first start exercise your heart rate will rise preparing the body for exercise. This is because the muscles will need more oxygen to work at their optimum level. The typical resting heart rate is from 60 – 80 beats per minute therefore the pre exercise heart rate…

This project planning is designed in preparation to implement an automated vital sign documentation system at Silver Hill Hospital located in New Canaan, Connecticut. This hospital’s inpatient units currently do not utilize an automated vital sign documentation system and would truly benefit from this change of workflow. The collection of vital sign helps determine the state of an individual’s help and helps healthcare staff identify if a patient is deteriorating. In past studies automated vital…

The effect of music genre on heart rate and blood pressure By: Kristin Hall Introduction: Heart rate measures the speed of the number of times the heart pulses per a unit of time, normally beats per minute (Biology Online, 2011). The number of pulses is based off the number of contractions of the ventricles. This number shows how much blood is flowing through the body, and thus how much hemoglobin and oxygen is being transported. When muscles become active they require more oxygen to function…

astronomers took an interest in this occurrence and decided to monitor the Crab Nebula for pulsed radio emissions. They found high intensity pulses originating from the central strange star, and were therefore able to identify it as a pulsar. They later discovered that the giant pulses they observed, occurred every two minutes or so, and that the true pulse period was as short as 33 milliseconds. This discovery discarded white dwarfs from the possibility of being pulsars, as radial oscillations…

Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive procedure that is used to measure the oxygen saturation level of the newborn (Pillitteri & Pillitteri, 2013). The device used in pulse oximetry readings contains two diodes that release equal concentrations of red and infrared light concurrently into the tissue bed the electrode is secured (WHO, 2011). The reading that is displayed is the proportion of reduced hemoglobin and oxygenated blood that is calculated and displayed indicating the oxygen concentration…
