Age : could it be chronic illness?Skin :
1. Cyanotic (lips and oral cavity): sob, lung disease2. Pallor and jaundice (nails bed,conjunctiva and nails)3. Pigmentation (genetic)
Facial features : symmetric movement,matching expression with saying
Example : Paralizing one side face, Bells palsy, flat effect

Level of consciousnessAllerted to time, place and person.Example :Disorientation, lethargy, stupor,coma
Sign of acute stressARS : sob, wheezing, facial grimacing, holding a body part
NutritionPatient weight. Example : Cushing syndrome, cachetic appearance
Body structureSymmetric body movement. Stand comfortably appropiate with age. Example :
tripod position, Kyphosis, lordosis are related with osteoporosis
Dress and groomingPatients clothing should correspond with climate, clean and fit appropiately.
Groomed appropiately with age, gender, occupation, cultural

Physical Parameters (1)
Height (genetic)To asses bone density in osteoporosis.Evaluation : stand erect, without shoes, against a flat and measuring surface. Place
the headpiece intersect the height scale.
WeightReflect the nutritional status. Find BMI (kg/m 2)Under : < 18,5Healthy : 18,5-24,9
Overweight : 25-29,9Obesity class I : 30-34,9 class II 35-39,9 class III 40Example : risk of overweight , unintended weight loss, decreased of patient
appetite, weight gain

Vital signs1. Temperature
NBT (36,4-37,2), affected by hormones,exercises, drug, biological rhytmis. Diurnaltemperature, Progesterone excretion
Tools : oral route (37), rectal route (37,5),axillary route (36,5), Tympanic route

2. PulseWhat is heart beat means?
Radial pulse, bradychardia (< 60 ppm),tachicadia (>100 ppm), arrhytmia.
RP depends on age, (see table 5-1) ex : adult
60-100 ppm normally

3. Respiration RateMost people are unaware of their breathing
To measure RR : Count the number ofrespiration in 30 sc, if irregular count it for 60sc. Record as rpm
NRR depends on age (see table 5-2)Bradypnea (< 12 rpm), Tachypnea (>20 rpm)

4. Blood pressureDefinition
Depends on : cardiac output and peripheralvascular resistanceSystolic and diastolic pressure.
Korotkoff sounds : no sound, soft and cleartapping, swooshing, tapping, muffling,nosound

12/16
Blood flow phase :I : faint, clear tapping
II : swooshingIII : Tapping (systolic)IV : Muffling (hyperkinetic)
V : Cessation ( diastolic)Evaluation : ask about smoking within previous
30 mnt, seated in a chair, after 5 min of a rest

Classification of BP (JNC VI and JNC VII)Common errors in measurement
Factors affecting BP : age, race, diurnalrhythm, weight, exercise, emotions,medications

Special considerations
Pediatric patientsTemperatures, pulse, rr, BP, routine growth measurements,
Geriatric patientsPosture change, NBT, Hypertension
Pregnant womanPosture change, weight gain
BP unchanged ( 1 st sem), decrease (2 nd sem), returns or slightlyexceed ( 3 rd sem)
Gestational hypertension?
