OBJECTIVES
accurately measure an oral temperature, as well as radial pulse and respiration;
• evaluate a peer using skills check; and
• illustrate, with a graph, temperature, pulse and respiration.

PULSE
A. Wave of blood produced by beating of heart and traveling along the artery
B. Can feel at points where the artery is between finger tips and a bony area
C. These areas are called pulse points

PULSE
D. Measured by index, middle, and ring fingers over pulse point.
E. Do not take with the thumb, since it has a pulse of its own.
F. Count for 30 seconds and multiply by 2, or count for 60 seconds

PULSE RANGES
G. Normal range is 60 – 100 beats per minute. The area of 90-100 is a gray area in that a pulse should never constantly remain in this area.
H. > than 100 = tachycardia
I. < than 90 = bradycardia

QUALITY OF PULSE
Quality of pulse is determined as well as rate
1. Rhythm – regular or irregular
2. Strength – Bounding or thready

CIRCUMSTANCES AFFECTING PULSE RATE
1. Body temperature
2. Emotions
3. Activity level
4. Health of heart

PERFUSION
L. Perfusion is the flow of blood throughout the body. Someone with sufficient perfusion has a strong enough heart beat to adequately oxygenate the body.
