Vital Signs and Lifestyle
Vital signs- Importance
Pulse
measurement of heart rate, heart rhythm, and strength of the pulse
how it pumps blood through the arteries
temperature
Measures body temperature
Thermometer
if too hot the body has a fever
if too cold hypothermia
respiratory rate
Ventilation, Diffusion, Perfusion
Rate, Depth, Rhythm
blood pressure
The force of the blood pushing against the artery walls
Oxygen Saturation
measures amount of oxygen in the blood
nutrition
The study of food
micronutrient
smaller amounts :
macronutrient
relatively large amount
organic
