The video is the first of two lessons on assessing vital signs, focusing on both quantitative and qualitative measures such as pulse rate, rhythm, and strength, as well as respiration rate and effort. It covers the importance of combining these assessments to diagnose conditions like shock, and discusses the methods for measuring vital signs including pulse points, respiration, skin condition, pain, capillary refill, pupil assessment, and blood pressure.

It covers the importance of combining these assessments to diagnose conditions like shock, and discusses the methods for measuring vital signs including pulse points, respiration, skin condition, pain, capillary refill, pupil assessment, and blood pressure.
Question 1
Pulse rate is best recorded over 30 seconds, then doubled.
Question 2
What is a sign of labored breathing?
Question 3
The most common pulse assessed in a conscious individual is the _____ pulse.
Question 4
CASE STUDY: During a routine check-up, a patient has a radial pulse of 55 bpm, regular rhythm, and strong strength.
What should be considered next?
Question 5
CASE STUDY: A patient shows pale skin, cool temperature, and delayed capillary refill after a long hike.
Select three possible conditions indicated by these symptoms.
Question 6
Apnea is characterized by rapid breathing.
Question 7
How to assess femoral pulse effectively?
Question 8
A respiration rate below 10 breaths per minute is termed _____.
Question 9
CASE STUDY: A patient presents with a rapid pulse of 120 bpm, irregular rhythm, and weak strength after a minor car accident.
What condition might this indicate?
Question 10
Skin turgor assesses fluid loss or dehydration.
Question 11
What affects blood pressure measurement accuracy?
Question 12
A fixed and dilated pupil may indicate _____ brain function.
Question 13
Tachycardia is a heart rate over 100 beats per minute.
Question 14
What indicates shock in pulse assessment?

Question 16
Use your thumb to assess the radial pulse.
Question 17
What affects respiration rate during assessment?
Question 18
A delay in the femoral pulse can indicate _____ of the aorta.
