Study Notes

Rehabilitation and Care Types

Rehabilitation involves short-term care, typically lasting 1-2 weeks.
Restorative care is long-term, generally associated with nursing home residents and requires stable conditions.
Palliative care provides relief from disease symptoms without aiming for a cure.

Normal Vitals

Temperature: Normal range is 97.8°F - 99.1°F (36.5°C - 37.3°C), with an average of 98.6°F (37°C).
Pulse: Normal resting heart rate is between 60 to 100 beats per minute.
Oxygen Saturation: A healthy O2 saturation level ranges from 95 to 100 percent.
Respirations: Normal breathing rate is 12 to 18 breaths per minute.
Blood Pressure:
- Normal: 90/60 mm Hg to 120/80 mm Hg.
- Elevated: Systolic 120-129, Diastolic less than 80.
- Stage 1 High Blood Pressure: Systolic 130-139, Diastolic 80-89.
- Stage 2 High Blood Pressure: Systolic 140 or higher, Diastolic 90 or higher.
