Baseline vitals are the key in helping to quickly assess if the patient is on a downward spiral or after measures are taken, the vitals become stable. It is important to have baseline vitals to use for comparison. Baseline vitals that need to be recorded are heart rate, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, blood pressure and pulses (radial and pedal). If there are changes in the baseline vitals, the nurse can then take measures to provide the appropriate care. Prioritizing is the nurses main…
