Part 1: Vital signs:
The nurse recorded a resting pulse of 105 bpm at the radial artery.
Pulses were also recorded at the
brachial, carotid, femoral, popliteal, and tibial arteries.
At which body regions/points was the pulse assessed?
How does this pulse compare to typical pulse?
Describe/explain in your own words 2 possible reasons for this
pulse reading (get into some
detail here).
The nurse recorded a resting blood pressure of 135/90 mmHg and the
pulse pressure and mean
arterial pressure are calculated on the summary.
Calculate the pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure that are
indicated on the summary.
Describe to your uncle what organs are at most risk from high pulse
pressure and MAP and
why.
