Anna Marie Marie 1 Mrs. Hartzog Advanced Placement English III 7 April 2014 How to Find Vital Signs: Pulse‚ Temperature‚ and Blood Pressure Typically vital signs are taken during the admission into a hospital or emergency care center‚ or even during a checkup. These are important in determining the wellbeing of a patient because they display in numbers how one is feeling or reacting to certain medications and treatments. There are “norms” or normal numbers and when a patient

Chapter 6 Measuring Vital Signs Unit 1: Temperature‚ Pulse‚ and Respiration UNIT RATIONALE Important indicators of your patient’s/client’s health status are known as vital signs. Vital signs give you information about breathing‚ body temperature‚ and the heart. They are a good indication of how well the body systems are functioning. As a health care worker‚ you need to observe patients whenever you are near them. Your knowledge of vital signs and how to measure them helps you know when to report

Time (Minutes) | Pulse Rate(Beats/30 seconds) | Pulse Rate x2(Beats/minute) | Lying Down | 1 | 24 | 48 | Standing Up | 1 | 30 | 60 | Pulse Rate after 15 seconds of exercise (Beats/15 seconds) | Pulse Rate x6 in order to measure beats/minute(Beats/minute) | 11 | 66 | 3. Record how long this takes in seconds. - 38 seconds 4. Calculate the increase in the pulse rate immediately after the 15 seconds exercise compared with your standing rate. 66-60= 6. 6 pulses increased after 15

The purpose of this practical is to investigate how the pulse rate of humans changes when they exercise. Someone who is physically fit can supply their muscles with enough blood‚ carrying glucose and oxygen‚ for an activity at a lower heart and breathing rate. The fitter you are the lower your resting heart rate. You and your classmates will be the humans investigated. SAFETY: If you know you have any condition that affects you doing exercise‚ please make sure your teacher knows before you start

and how the body responds to exercise. This report will interpret the results of the practical activities that was done in order to monitor the changes in heart rate‚ temperature and blood pressure before and after exercise. Blood pressure is the measure of how much pressure is put on the walls of the blood vessels when the blood is pumped through them. This is measured in two parts‚ the larger number on top is known as the systolic pressure‚ this measures the pressure as the blood is pumped away

Lab#: 15 Title: Exercise/pulse rate Aim: To investigate the effect of exercise on the pulse rate Materials/ Apparatus: Stop watch Diagram: Procedure: 1. The three middle fingers were placed just behind the bottom of the wrist as indicated in the diagram in order to see if the pulse could be felt. 2. (a) If the pulse was not felt the three fingers were moved about until it could be felt. (b) Changing the hand also helped to find the pulse. 3. The number of pulsation

Discussion The purpose of this experiment was to determine if splitting a bean would affect its rate of respiration. Splitting a bean does not impact its rate of respiration. This is shown in the data‚ while the average rate of respiration for Whole beans is 1.35 and the rate of respiration for 1.16‚ the standard error of the mean is .15. Because the standard error of the mean is so high‚ they overlap in both of the data sets‚ which shows that the data is very similar. This is better shown in the

on Pulse Rate and Blood Pressure Purpose: To determine the effect of jogging on pulse rate and blood pressure. Hypothesis: If you jog then your heart rate and blood pressure will increase. Materials: Tape Measure Blood Pressure Cuff Procedure: 1. Record resting blood pressure and heart rate. 2. Measure out 100m. 3. Jog 100m (same speed every time) 4. When finished jogging 100m record heart rate and blood pressure. 5. Repeat steps 3&4‚ 3 more times 6. Calculate average heart rate and
