    During the morning shift, I was assigned to check vital signs for several patients. First, I measured the patient’s temperature in Celsius and recorded the reading on the chart. Then, I counted their respiratory rate and checked their oxygen saturation to ensure they were breathing properly. Next, I wrapped the blood pressure cuff around their arm and slowly deflated it to get an accurate measurement. One patient had a slightly high systolic pressure, so I reported it to the nurse in charge.

  2. In a hospital, checking vital signs is an important part of patient .Nurses begin by measuring the patient’s temperature and pulse. They use a blood pressure cuff to check both systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. And,they use monitor to check the patient’s respiratory rate and oxygen saturation to ensure everything is stable. All of these readings are carefully recorded on a chart for doctors to see.Accurate monitoring of blood pressure and other vital signs helps medical staff detect any issues early and provide the right treatment.

    The nurse checked the patient’s vital signs, starting with their temperature, which was slightly elevated at 38°C (Celsius). Next, she measured the respiratory rate and pulse, both of which were within the normal range. However, when she took the blood pressure, she found it was quite low, indicating a hypotensive condition. The oxygen saturation level was also slightly reduced, suggesting possible breathing difficulties. The systolic pressure and diastolic pressure readings confirmed the low blood pressure. Given the elevated temperature and other signs, the nurse suspected a mild infection and decided to monitor the patient closely.

    Today, the nurse checked Tom vital signs. His temperature was 38.5 degrees Celsius , respiratory rate was 18, pulse was 75, blood pressure was 134 over 82, and oxygen saturation was 93%. His vital sign chart showed that Tom had a fever. The nurse rapidly drew blood for him to check if he was infection with the virus. After giving him medicine, his temperature dropped slightly. Tom is much better now.

  5. Take vital signs provide a lot of information. The measurements include temperature, respiratory rate, pulse, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation. From these readings, we can determine whether there is a problem with high or low blood pressure (hypertensive/hypotensive), whether the heartbeat is too rapid, or if there is a fever caused by an infection. This helps in attending to patients more effectively.

    In the hospital, nurses regularly check patients’ vital signs to monitor their health. They measure temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit and check pulse and respiratory rate to assess heart and lung function.

    If a patient has high blood pressure or low blood pressure, the nurse uses a monitor to take a blood pressure reading. A cuff is wrapped around the arm, inflated, and then rapidly deflated to get the reading.

    The nurse also checks for numbness or discomfort and records all data in the patient’s chart for the doctor’s review.

  10. Emily is a nursing student doing internship at Chengqing Hospital. This is her first time in the clinic, and today she is going to measure the patient's vital signs. When she entered the ward, she smiled and said to the patient, "Good morning, now I will help you measure your vital signs," then rolled up the patient's sleeves, put on a cuff, and finally turned on the monitor. As the monitor started, Emily noted the systolic pressure and diastolic pressure, then checked the chart. She felt the patient’s pulse, counting each beat, then observed their respiratory rate. After measuring the temperature, she clipped the oximeter to their finger to check oxygen saturation. “All done!” she said with a smile.

  13. Today, I went to the clinic for a health checkup. The nurse first checked my vital signs. She measured my temperature with an ear thermometer, and it was 38 degrees Celsius. She said I might have an infection. Then, she took my blood pressure by wrapping a blood pressure cuff around my arm, inflating it, and then deflating it slowly to get the reading.
    “Your blood pressure reading is 140/85, which is slightly hypertensive, and your respiratory rate is a bit fast,” she said, reminding me to get plenty of rest and drink more water. Finally, she asked me to stand up straight to measure my height and weight. After recording all the data, she smiled and said, “All done! Please wait over there for the doctor.”

  17. The doctors and nurses are checking a patient’s vital signs. First, they take his body temperature with an ear thermometer. The measured temperature is 37.9 degrees Celsius. A high temperature may indicate an infection.Next, they check his respiratory rate. If the respiratory tract is affected, he may breathe rapidly. They then check his pulse.The normal heart rate is 60 to 100 beats/min. Finally, they take blood pressure using a cuff that wraps around his arm. The systolic pressure and diastolic pressure are recorded. If the readings are too high, he may be hypertensive.

    When attending to a patient, it's important to first check their vital signs. Begin by measuring their temperature, either in Celsius or Fahrenheit, to determine if they have a fever, which may indicate an infection. Next, check their respiratory rate to ensure their respiratory tract is functioning properly. If they seem numb or have difficulty breathing, this could be a sign of a more serious issue. Measure their pulse and blood pressure, paying attention to whether their systolic or diastolic pressure is too high or low, which could point to hypertension or hypotension.
    You can then use a cuff to take the blood pressure reading. Be sure to deflate the cuff slowly to avoid any discomfort. Finally, check their oxygen saturation levels to assess if they are receiving enough oxygen, especially if they appear to be breathing rapidly or slightly labored.

    Two days ago, I was sick, so I went to see the doctor. The nurse told me to stand up straight because she needed to chart my height. After that, she helped me check my vital signs. She took my temperature to see if I had a fever, and she also took my blood pressure. She told me that I had low hypotensive pressure.
    Sometimes, I kept coughing, and my breathing became a little rapid. The nurse said it was because my respiratory tract had a slight infection.

    Before the doctor arrived, the nurse took the patient’s vital signs. She noticed that his temperature was slightly high, which could indicate a fever, so she checked his respiratory rate to ensure he was breathing normally. Then, she found that his pulse was a bit fast, possibly to stress or discomfort. Since the patient had a history of hypertension, it was important to check his blood pressure regularly.The nurse used an oximeter to check his oxygen saturation, but the reading was slightly low, so she decided to take further measurements. She wrapped the cuff around his arm and recorded the blood pressure in his medical chart. After reviewing his condition, she suspected that he might have an infection, so she informed the doctor immediately. The patient also mentioned that his hands felt numb, which further indicated a possible health issue.

    In winter, the temperature often drops to 12°C (Celsius) or lower, making people more susceptible to infection. When you have a fever or other symptoms, regularly reading your temperature is important to ensure you don’t have a high fever.

    Cold weather can also affect the respiratory tract, making people more prone to coughing or a sore throat. If you stay in low temperatures for too long, your fingers or toes might become numb, so you should warm up quickly to restore blood circulation.

    If your symptoms rapidly worsen, even if you only feel slightly unwell, you should attend a doctor’s appointment as soon as possible. Additionally, when using an inflatable heating pad or cushion, be careful not to overinflate it—make sure to deflate it slightly for comfort.

    I walked into the patient’s room to check their vital signs. First, I measured their temperature and recorded it in the chart. Then, I placed two fingers on their wrist to check their pulse.

    Next, I wrapped the blood pressure cuff around their arm, inflated it, and then slowly deflated it. The blood pressure reading was normal. After that, I used a small device to check their oxygen saturation to make sure they were getting enough oxygen.

    Finally, I checked a small wound on their arm for any signs of infection. Before leaving, I asked them to stand up straight for a quick posture check. “Everything looks good!” I said with a smile.

    When I went for my routine check-up at the clinic, the nurse greeted me and asked me to stand up straight as she prepared to take my vital signs. First, she checked my temperature, recording it in both Celsius and ahrenheit. She then moved on to my respiratory rate, asking me to breathe deeply and counting the number of breaths per minute.

    Next, she checked my pulse. She told me that my heart rate was normal and then proceeded to take my blood pressure. The cuff wrapped around my arm, and as the air began to deflate, I could feel a slight numb sensation. The nurse noted the systolic pressure** and diastolic pressure, confirming that my blood pressure was in a normal range and not high or low.

    The nurse also measured my oxygen saturation . The reading was normal, meaning my respiratory tract was functioning well. She then made sure that everything was fine, before giving me a chart to record my results. I was happy to know there were no signs of infection and that my body was working efficiently.

    In the end, I was asked to attend a follow-up appointment to monitor my health in the future. The check-up was fast, and although everything seemed fine, the nurse told me to keep an eye on my health and to react rapidly if any unusual symptoms occurred.
