second intervals. When that number had been acquired‚ it was multiplied by four to obtain the number of beats per minute‚ known as the heart rate. The next step was to take blood pressure of each subject in the group. This was done by wrapping the sphygmomanometer (blood pressure cuff) around the subject’s arm‚ just above the elbow‚ then placing the stethoscope against the anterior part of the elbow; the cuff was inflated to 200 mmHg. Pressure was slowly released from the cuff until the first heart sound

Unit 2: Disadvantages of the biomedical model for patients or clients. 1. Nurses less concern on humanisers care of patient feeling and emotion. Example: A nurses treating patient too strict and focus on doctor’s order until they forgot about patient emotional and spiritual. 2. The patient often labels as bed number or diagnosis rather than treated as individuals. Example: Patient Mr. X admit with the history of the psychological problem for three years. When the nurses passing report called

volume and percentage of gas. The readings were taken before exercise‚ during exercise and after exercise. Blood pressure is defined as the amount of pressure exerted on the vessels walls‚ during blood flow. Blood pressure can be measured using a sphygmomanometer. The upper value indicates the systolic pressure; this is the highest level of pressure obtained. This is usually 120mm Hg in healthy adult. The diastolic blood pressure is the pressure achieved before the aortic valves reopen‚ which is usually

The observations will be done every week‚ with the use of a blood pressure measuring device or the Sphygmomanometer. Our study does not offer a treatment for the problem. It will only help lower the chance of pre-hypertensive people acquiring hypertension itself and lower the chances of acquiring

Introduction The primary function of the heart is to transport blood throughout the body‚ which delivers oxygen‚ nutrients and chemicals to the cells of the body to ensure their survival and proper function and to remove the cellular wastes. For the body to achieve this‚ it must maintain a certain blood pressure within the body to overcome gravity and orthostatic changes. If the body did not keep a certain pressure‚ distal cells and organs would not be able to receive a constant blood supply and

Assignment 6: Exercise and Cardiopulmonary Physiology Lab Report by from tables submitted by and and lab partners and Biology 112‚ Section original graph submitted April 2‚ 2013 Abstract: The effect of exercise/physical activity on pulse‚ blood pressure‚ and respiration rate was tested on biology students. The results of the experiment showed that each of these parameters is affected after engaging in 2 minutes of physical activity. We found that average pulse‚ mean arterial pressure

That number was then multiplied by four to acquire the number of beats per minute‚ which is known as the heart rate. Next‚ we took each person’s blood pressure in the group by wrapping the sphygmomanometer tightly around the person’s upper arm right above the elbow‚ while pressing the stethoscope against the anterior crease of the elbow. The blood pressure cuff was inflated to 190 mmHg. Afterwards while releasing the pressure slowly‚ the group

your life D. Today I would like to demonstrate these three basic steps: gathering the materials‚ following a specific procedure‚ and interpreting the blood pressure reading. II. A. The first step is to gather the materials. 1. You will need a sphygmomanometer (blood pressure cuff) with a gauge and a special cuff. 2. You will also need a stethoscope. B. Next is the specific procedure which can be broken into four steps. 1. The cuff is wrapped around‚ with the bottom of the cuff just above the antecubital

So far‚ this year in this class‚ we have been focusing a lot about blood pressure‚ vital signs‚ and medical careers. There are four main vital signs‚ these include: • body temperature • pulse rate • respiration rate • blood pressure Vital signs are useful in detecting and monitoring medical problems. Body temperature is a huge factor in your body. Body temperature is the average temperature of the human body. Usually people know body temperature by being hot or cold. We learned that body temperature

Rebecca Weissmann Health Sciences- Unit 4 11/9/14 Review Questions 1. What is an AED? Where are they found? AED is an automatic external defibrillator that uses electricity to reestablish a normal heart beat. Commonly found in airports‚ schools‚ shopping malls‚ and among other sites. 2. What is CPR? Why is it used? Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure that is used to help preserve brain functioning during a cardiac arrest. 3. What are the three degrees of burns? How
