Question

Dr. Martin asks you to retake Ms. Patel's pulse and respirations. You count her puise as 41 in 30 seconds and her
respirations 9 in 30 seconds. You would document the rate of these vital signs as:

Answer 1

We can confirm that when taking the pulse and respiration rates and measuring the numbers listed, we would document these vital signs as slightly elevated.

Why are these vitals elevated?

This has to do with the normal resting rates for pulse and respirations in an individual. One would expect the pulse to be roughly 30 in 30 seconds, at 41 the rate is still within the normal rate but slightly elevated. The same is the case for the respirations, which should be closer to 6 in 30 seconds instead of 9.

Therefore, we can confirm that when taking the pulse and respiration rates and measuring the numbers listed, we would document these vital signs as slightly elevated.
