Chapter 37 - Obtaining vital signs and measurements. After completing chapter 37, you will be able to: Recognize common terminology and abbreviations used in documenting and discussing vital signs, describe the instruments used to measure vital signs and body measurements, explain the procedure used to measure vital signs and body measurements, demonstrate the procedures for measuring vital signs and body measurements. | 37 Obtaining Vital Signs and Measurements 37- Learning Outcomes Describe vital signs and common body measurements. Differentiate measurement systems. Identify the instruments used to measure vital signs and body measurements. Carry out vital signs and body measurements of infants, children, and adults. 37- Learning Outcomes (cont.) Recognize abnormal vital signs and body measurements. Write vital signs and body measurements using accurate terminology and abbreviations. Implement growth charts. 37- Introduction Vital signs Temperature Pulse Respirations Blood pressure Pain assessment Body measurements Height Weight Head circumference Vital signs and body measurements are used to evaluate health problems. Accuracy is essential. 37- Vital Signs Provide information about patient’s overall condition Taken at each visit and compared to baseline Protected health information – HIPAA 37- Temperature Febrile – body . | 37 Obtaining Vital Signs and Measurements 37- Learning Outcomes Describe vital signs and common body measurements.
