Study Notes
Vital Signs and Critical Condition
- Pulse rate is a vital sign to check if a condition is critical.
- Normal pulse rate is 50-90 beats per minute (bpm).
- Other vital signs include respiration, blood pressure, skin, temperature, and pupils.
Respiration and Breathing Rate
- Normal breathing rate is 12-20 breaths per minute.
- Types of breathing rates include normal, shallow, labored, and noisy.
Blood Pressure and Pressure Types
- Distolic pressure and systolic pressure are two types of pressure.
- Normal blood pressure is 120/70-135/80 mmHg for adults.
- Normal limits for blood pressure vary by age.
Temperature and Pupil Shapes
- Normal oral temperature is 37°C.
- Pupil shapes can be normal, constricted, dilated, or unequal.
Infections and Signs
- Malaise is a common non-specific sign of localized systemic infection.
- Running a fever can cause headaches and decrease appetite.
- Signs of infection include fluid drainage, continual or increased pain, and redness and swelling.
Types of Infections
- Viral infections are caused by very tiny infectious organisms.
- Bacterial infections can be resistant to antibiotics.
- Other types of infections are not specified.
