Pulse
Practice determining the rate and quality of the
pulse by taking it at the 1) carotid, 2)
brachial, 3) radial, 4) femoral, 5) popliteal, 6)
posterior tibial, & 7) dorsalis pedis. Note
the difference in the strength of the pulses in
the various locations.Count the pulses for at
least 15 seconds and record the pulse rate per
minute on your laboratory sheet.
Respirations
Practice determining the quantity & quality
of respirations by 1) watching the chest rising,
2) listening for breath sounds & 3) feeling
the breaths on your cheek & 4) using a
stethoscope over the lungs.Count respirations
per minute and record on your laboratory sheet.
Blood Pressure
Practice obtaining a blood pressure reading by
using the stethoscope and sphygmomanometer on the
right arm and record on your laboratory sheet.
Temperature
Practice obtaining the body temperature by taking
it orally with a thermometer, and also with a
thermometer in the axilla. Record both on your
laboratory sheet. Utilize the thermometer covers
when taking the oral temperature. Wipe the
thermometer clean with alcohol swabs before and
after obtaining an axillary temperature.
Skin Temperature
Palpate several body areas with back of hand to
appreciate difference in skin temperature.
