The nurse will then attach telemetry leads to the patient’s chest and abdomen so that the electrical conductivity of the heart can be visualized. These tasks can be accomplished while a sphygmomanometer‚ wrist watch and thermometer are used by other staff to obtain the blood pressure‚ respirations per minute and temperature of the patient for comparison to those taken en route. The nurse will also instruct trained staff to check the patient’s

This experiment involves measuring and identifying the change in blood pressure. In this experiment‚ measurements of systolic arterial pressure‚ diastole arteriole pressure‚ and pulse rate were recorded and observed. The effects of changes in the body were observed and measured during body positioning‚ exercise‚ and cognitive stress. The purpose of this lab experiment was to test multiple variables that can have an effect on blood pressure and pulse. As stated‚ the following variables that were tested
