About Vital Signs
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
This unit page sits in the Fundamentals of Nursing Care strand of the Nursing subject. It brings together material on the main measurements taken at the bedside: body temperature, pulse, respiration, blood pressure and oxygen saturation.
The first quiz, Vital Signs, asks what the vital signs are and how the body loses and gains heat. Other resources go into practical steps. One slide set covers measuring blood pressure, from seating the patient to marking the brachial artery. A flashcard deck lists the steps of a clinical skills check, from cleaning hands to taking blood pressure.
Where to start
- Begin with the Vital Signs mind map and the opening quiz to see the whole topic at a glance.
- Move to vocabulary. The deck Chapter 15 Vocab Terms covers words such as apnea, bradycardia, dyspnea and febrile.
- Look at the Blood pressure flashcards, which ask what systolic and diastolic pressure are and how the body responds when pressure drops.
- Finish with the procedure resources, such as the notes titled Nursing Performance Guidelines: Vital Signs.
Using quizzes and maps together
Mind maps show how ideas connect. Several here focus on one measurement, including Measuring a Patient's Body Temperature, TAKING BLOOD PRESSURE and Abbreviations and Terms Related to Pulse. Read a map first, then close it and take a quiz on the same measurement.
The quiz nursing theory - taking a pulse asks about the average pulse, ectopic beats, arrhythmia and tachycardia. The quiz nursing theory - taking a patient's temperature asks what equipment you need and how to prepare. Note which questions you miss, then go back to the matching map or deck.
Normal ranges and terms
Several decks cover parameters and terminology, including Normal Ranges and Adult vital signs parameters. They suit short, repeated sessions, which helps when you need ranges and terms to come to mind quickly.
Teachers can use the decks, maps and quizzes as ready-made starting points for a class. Choose one measurement, open its map and quiz, and see how it goes.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the quiz called Vital Signs. It asks what the vital signs are and how the body loses heat, so it shows you quickly what you already know. After that, the Vital Signs mind map gives you an overview of the topic before you move to the more specific decks.
What do the mind maps on this page cover?
The mind maps focus on single measurements and related terms. You will find maps on measuring body temperature, taking blood pressure, and abbreviations for pulse and for respiratory rate, SpO2 and TPR. There is also a map on procedures such as spirometry, the peak flow meter and ECG.
Are these resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself, so styles and depth vary from one resource to the next.
Who are these resources suited to?
They suit university students and professional candidates learning to measure and record vital signs, plus teachers looking for ready-made material. The resources are a mix of university and professional level. None of them names a specific exam.
How can I practice blood pressure technique?
Try the slide set on measuring blood pressure, which covers seating the patient, arm position and finding the brachial artery. Then use the Blood pressure flashcards to check the terms, and the TAKING BLOOD PRESSURE mind map to review the steps in order.
What if I can't find the topic I need?
Look at the decks on terminology and parameters, since they cover many related terms. If a topic is still missing, a free account lets you make your own quiz, mind map, flashcards or notes and save your quiz scores.
