VITAL SIGNS
● Known as the “Cardinal Signs”.
● Are the signs that provide excellent clues

to the physiological functioning of the
body. It is how the person’s
TEMPERATURE, PULSE,
RESPIRATION and BLOOD PRESSURE
are taken and recorded.
TEMPERATURE
The balance between heat
production and heat lost.
The purpose of taking the body

temperature is to establish the
patient’s baseline temperature and
to monitor any abnormalities.
TEMPERATURE:
Normal Value 36.5 to 37 ⁰ C
Hypothermia 36.5 below degrees Celsius
Slight Fever 37.3 degree Celsius
Hyperthermia 38-40 degree Celsius
Febrile with fever
Afebrile absence of fever

KINDS OF THERMOMETER
Clinical
1. Oral (bibig), Rectal
(anus). Axillary (kili-kili).
2.

PULSE RATE
the measurement of the
heart rate, or the number of
times the heart beats per
minute.
ADULT CHILD INFANT
60-100 beats per 80-120 beats per 120-160 beats per
minute minute minute (0-1year old)
(10 years old and (1 to 10 years old)
above)
PULSE RATE
TACHYCARDIA BRADYCARDIA
above 100 beats below 60 beats per
per minute. minute
PROCEDURE ON TAKING PULSE RATE
1. Place your two fingers on the

radial artery which is located on
the inner portion of the wrist
just above the thumb.
2. Count how many beats you

feel in one minute.
RESPIRATORY RATE
 the measurement of airflow and outflow
between the lungs and the environment.
 The purpose of taking the Respiratory

rate is to provide for the exchange of
oxygen and carbon dioxide between the
atmosphere and the blood.
RESPIRATORY RATE
ADULT INFANT TACHYPNEA
12- 20 cycles per 35-60 Child- 20-35 above 20 cycles

minute cycles per minute per minute.
WISHES
 ORTHOPNEA Dyspnea
BRADYPNEA APNEA 
is the sensation of
below 12 cycles per cessation of breathlessness in the Shortness of
minute. breathing recumbent position, Breath
relieved by sitting or
standing.
PROCEDURE ON TAKING
RESPIRATORY RATE
01 - Let the client sit down properly and let him/her relax.
- It’s best to take respiratory rate while sitting up in a

chair or in a bed. 02
- Measure breathing rate by counting the number of times the
03 chest or abdomen rises over the course of one minute.
- Record this number. 04

BLOOD PRESSURE
 Is the force of the blood pushing
against the artery walls during
contraction and relaxation of the
heart.
 Measurement of the pressure of
force exerted by the blood on the
wall of the arteries in the heart
MEASUREMENT OF BLOOD
PRESSURE
Systolic (Ventricular Contraction)
is the highest pressure exerted by the blood against the arterial wall.
Normal Range
Systolic- 90-120 mmHg Diastolic- 70-80

FuturemmHg
Perfect
Diastolic (Ventricular Relaxation)
is the lowest pressure exerted by the blood against the arterial wall.
PROCEDURE ON TAKING BLOOD
PRESSURE
- Rest for three to five minutes without

talking before taking a measurement.
- Sit in a comfortable chair, with your back
supported and legs and ankles
uncrossed.
- Sit still and place your arm, raised level
with your heart, on a table or hard
surface.
PRESSURE
- Wrap the cuff smoothly and snugly

around the upper part of your arm. The
cuff should be sized to fit smoothly,
while allowing enough room for one
fingertip to slip under it.
- Be sure the bottom edge of the cuff is at
least one inch above the crease in your
elbow.
PRESSURE
- Using the bulb inflate the cuff to

approximately 180 to 200. Gently release
the pressure. Listen carefully. Watch the
pressure gage on the
Sphygmomanometer. You will record the
first clear tapping sound which is
systolic pressure, then you will record
the last tapping sound which is diastolic
pressure.
