Study Notes
Normal Vital Signs
- Body temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure are the four main vital signs.
Body Temperature
- The body uses skin to regulate core body temperature, affecting skin temperature.
- Normal body temperature, also known as normothermia or euthermia, varies depending on several factors:
- Age
- Exertion
- Infection
- Sex
- Time of day
- Measurement location on the body
- State of consciousness (waking or sleeping)
- Activity level
- Emotional status
- Measuring body temperature is an initial part of a full clinical examination.
