Study Tips for Basic Skills
- Know the normal adult ranges: temp 97.8–99.1°F, pulse 60–100 bpm, respirations 12–20/min, BP below 120/80 mmHg.
- Count respirations without telling the patient — people change their breathing rate when they know they're being watched.
- The gait belt must always be worn during any transfer or ambulation activity.
- Report any vital sign outside normal range immediately to the supervising nurse.
