These are called vital signs, because we perceive them objectively, using our senses. The measurement of these indicators used to assess the activity of vital organs (brain, heart and lungs), with control of these, a core activity of nursing.
General Considerations
- one shall be subjected to monitoring and recording of vital controls at the time of her admission. Must be registered with the blade of Nursing, for us to be useful in subsequent clinical evaluations of the patient.
- should always be strictly adhered to the planned schedule for monitoring vital signs in accordance with regulations and directions each specific case, as it can vary according to type of monitoring to be performed.
- We always tell the patient when we go to the controls, since it takes into account that a state of anxiety or fear can alter the outcome of measurements.
