Which of the following clients' vital signs should the nurse identify is outside the expected reference range and notify the provider? Temperature measurement over the temporal artery (TAT, temporal artery thermometry) is a method for temperature measurement that uses infrared technology to detect the heat that is radiated from the skin surface over the temporal artery. The AP pulls the pinna up and back when obtaining a tympanic temperature. Instruct the client to bear down like they are having a bowel movement. Increase in blood pressure C.

This can be caused by atrial fibrillation, aortic rupture, or coronary artery disease. For which of the following clients should the nurse obtain the vital signs rather than the AP? The nurse should identify that an apical pulse rate of 66/min is within the expected reference range of 60 to 100/min for an older adult client. The expected reference range for respiratory rate in toddlers is 24 to 40/min, so this client will need to be assessed by the nurse, as they are exhibiting tachypnea. -The type of oxygen therapy (nasal cannula, mask) and flow rate A client who has a blood pressure of 100/74 mm Hg D.

Temperature measurements with a temporal scanner: systematic review and meta-analysis BMJ Open. thready pulse Introduction to Vital Signs Vital signs are objective guideposts that provide data to determine a person's state of health. A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has hypertension. ATI Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Regulat, Health Promotion, Wellness, and Disease Preve, Julie S Snyder, Linda Lilley, Shelly Collins. -The temperature reading Especially because of COVID, researchers studied TATs along with more traditional thermometer types that involve more contact and read temperatures from other body parts: Temperature readings vary by body part, but doctors generally agree on these: And doctors still consider rectal temperature to be the most accurate.. Which of the following interventions should the nurse plan to recommend? Although recognized as a generally sound reflection of core body temperature, rectal temperature can lag behind changes in core temperature and is affected by depth of measurement, presence of feces and local blood flow. -Respiratory status after a specific treatment (nebulizer therapy) Eating and exercising may also have an impact on your temperature. 2)The second sound is a whooshing sound, Radial pulse irregular Instruct the client to increase exercise. Recording vital signs provides critical information regarding a client's condition. C.

C. A pulse strength of +1 indicates that the pulse is weak or diminished upon palpation. B. C. Increase the room temperature and add blankets to warm the client. It involves observing the rate, depth, and rhythm of chest-wall movement during inspiration and expiration. The client's diaphoresis will make it difficult to obtain an accurate temperature via the tympanic membrane or temporal artery. It provides an accurate arterial temperature." P 342 D. Systolic blood pressure reflects the pressure when the heart is relaxed. A. Pulse deficit less than 10 10 Because core monitoring sites and most reliable near-core sites are somewhat D.

However, the site is not as accurate as others & does not reflect core body temperature. Managing pain involves implementing both pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions. B. Manual BP measurements are more accurate than those obtained via an electronic device, so if an abnormal reading is obtained electronically, a manual reading should be obtained. A nurse is evaluating the effectiveness of interventions provided to a client who was admitted for decreased peripheral circulation. data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAKAAAAB4CAYAAAB1ovlvAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAw5JREFUeF7t181pWwEUhNFnF+MK1IjXrsJtWVu7HbsNa6VAICGb/EwYPCCOtrrci8774KG76 .

B. 6)Slowly deflate the blood-pressure cuff and note the number on the manometer when you hear the first clear sound. -Your nursing interventions ("antipyretic given") 60-100 BPM. C. "A decrease of 20 millimeters of mercury in the systolic pressure with a position change indicates orthostatic hypotension." The nurse should encourage the client to participate in relaxation techniques such as guided imagery, meditation, or yoga as these can decrease heart rate and blood pressure. A school-age child who received two units of packed red blood cells now has a BP of 76/54 mm Hg. With hypotension the client will have systolic BP less than 90 mm Hg or a diastolic BP less than 60 mm Hg.

For example, radiative heat loss can occur when a client sits near a window when it is cold outside. Tympanic temperatures are obtained by inserting a probe tip into the ear canal. Always be sure to share what type of thermometer you used, as well as the reading, when you talk to a doctor about a fever. A nurse is collecting data from a 3-month-old infant during a well-child visit.
