A.
For Vital Signs (VS) taking
Vital signs are a measurement of the body’s most basic functions such as body temperature, pulse rate, breathing rate, and
blood pressure. The following are the devices used to measure vital signs:
1. Thermometer – a device used in measuring body core temperature. The following are the different types of thermometer:
2. Sphygmomanometer – an instrument measuring blood pressure along with the use of the stethoscope in listening to the knocking
sound while observing the values in the sphygmomanometer.
KOROTKOFF SOUNDS- occur when the systolic pressure, the highest pressure reached
120/80 – normal blood pressure of an adult
120- systolic pressure
80 – diastolic pressure
3. Stethoscope – an instrument for auscultation or listening to sounds produced by the body such as lung, heart, gastrointestinal
tract, and even fetal heart sounds.
Heartbeat sound in words “thump thump” or “lub dub”. These sounds are due to closing of the valves of the heart.
4. Watch with second hand – heart, pulse, and breath rate per minute are measured through the use of a watch with second hand.
5. Pulse Oximetry – the main function of this device is to measure the amount of oxygen level in the blood, but it doesn’t just
measure the oxygen saturation level but also pulse rate.
1. The surface body temperature can be assessed using (thermometer, oximeter).
2. A stethoscope and a sphygmomanometer are used in pair in assessing patients (heart rhythm, blood pressure).
3. A protective eyewear device such as (goggles, mask) is worn against potential infection.
4. A (garbage bin, hamper) is a collector of soiled clothes or linens.
5. An electrically powered machine called (washing machine, dishwasher) which is used for washing soiled clothing or linen.
6. A (household gloves, surgical gloves) is worn in hands against potential harm caused by cleaning agents.
7. A (cane, crutch, wheelchair) is a type of an ambulatory assistive device recommended for patients who should not put weight in
the lower extremity.
8. Electrically powered cleaning equipment used to suction dust from surfaces is called (dishwasher and drier, vacuum cleaner).
9. A hospital crib is a specialized bed for (infant, adult).
10. A (bedpan, urinal) is shaped like a bottle and is used for excretion in bed-confined patients.
