The assessment of a patient's health status is an essential part of the nurse's or personal carer's role. It includes observation of the patient and measuring the patient's vital signs. This program focuses on the vital signs and how to measure temperature, pulse, respiration and blood pressure. It also outlines how to measure oxygen saturation, blood glucose levels and how to perform a urinalysis. Each vital sign is described, as well as how to use appropriate equipment and how to accurately perform procedures.
