Answer:

Vital signs are the measurements of bodily activities that show how our different organ systems are working separately and as a group to ensure homeostasis. When these measurements go below the minimum allowed requirements, like the chart shows, or above the maximum limits, it immediately alerts healthcare professionals that something is wrong and that actions need to be taken. They also show that the body is having to alter its mechanisms to try to regain homeostasis, especially to ensure the correct function of the main organ systems. As such, what this chart shows you are data sets that guide you to understand how to interpret the signs in a patient and thus make accurate decisions that will aid the body to reach homeostasis.

Explanation:

Now, what is important is to remember is that these ranges, as the table indicates, are preset, and cannot apply to all patients in the same manner. Thus, for example, in blood pressure, there may be people who are used to managing much higher or lower numbers, and it does not mean the person is sick. The same can happen with temperature, and heart rate. There are people, for example sports people, whose heart rates may be lower due to cardiac training. And temperature can vary a lot depending also on environmental factors, as well as bodily functions.

As such, in comparison with the table, while pulse (which indicates how the heart is beating and the characteristics of a heart rate) can vary a lot, depending on activity, while respiratory rate will respond to various events: fever, illness, level of bodily activity, among other things.

Why do you think some methods for taking a patient’s temperature are more accurate than others?
