Labor sheet
Also known as cardinal sign.
- it reflect the physiological status of the body
- it provide information critical to evaluating the body’s homeostatic balance.
Vital signs
- They are four critical assessment area, of vital sign.
- These four signs form baseline evaluative data necessary for ongoing evaluation of a patient’s
- Body temperature
- Pulse rate
- Respiration rate
- Blood pressure,
Additional: - pain
It used because the information gathered is the clearest indicator for normal patient status.
Vital, the term vital
- It represents the balance between heat gain, heat loss and It is regulated in the hypothalamus of the brain.
- It is measured by a clinical thermometer.
•Temperature
- Temperature indicate the health status of the body.
- This may be due to pyrogens, nervous system disease, or injury.
Variations of temperature
There are two kinds of body temperature:
•Core temperature
• Surface temperature
- temperature of the deep tissues.
Such as the abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity. - remains relatively constant.
•Core temperature
The temperature of the skin, the subcutaneous tissue and fat.
• Surface temperature
•Heat is produced in the body, by metabolism l.
It is the chemical reaction in all body cells.
Heat Production
-It is the primary fuel source for metabolism.
- the primary fuel source for metabolism. Activities requiring additional chemical reactions increase the metabolic rate. As metabolism increases, additional heat is produced.
- Metabolism decreases, less heat is produced.
Food
Heat production occurs during:
- Rest
- voluntary movements
- involuntary shivering, and
- non-shivering thermogenesis.
•Heat is lost in the body through:
•Radiation
•Conduction
•Convection
• Vaporization
- the transfer of heat from the surface of one object to the surface of another without contact between the two objects, mostly in the form of infrared rays.
- during exercise the body loses heat through sweating.
•Radiation
- the transfer of heat from one molecule to a molecule of lower temperature.
- transfer cannot take place without contact between the molecules and normally accounts for minimal heat loss.
- The amount of heat transferred depends on the temperature difference
- the amount and duration of the contact.
•Conduction
This are continuous evaporation of moisture from the respiratory tract and from the mucosa of the mouth and from the skin.
•Vaporization
continuous and unnoticed water loss is called.
insensible water loss
the accompanying heat loss is called
- evaporation of sweat
insensible heat loss.
Age
Diurnal variations (circadian rhythms)
Exercise
Hormones
Stress
Environment
Factors affecting body temperaturce
-
- continuous evaporation of moisture from the respiratory tract, from the mucosa of the mouth and from the skin.
•Vaporization
- infant is greatly influenced
by the temperature of the environment and must be protected from extreme
changes. - Children’s temperatures
continue to be more variable than
those of adults until puberty. - Older people, aged 75 and above,are particularly sensitive to extremes in environmental temperature due to decreased thermoregulatory controls.
Age
Body temperature normally
change throughout the day, between the early morning and the late afternoon.
- The point of highest body
temperature is usually reached
between 8:00pm and midnight, and the lowest is reached during sleep
between 4:00 and 6:00 am.
Diurnal variations (circadian
rhythms).
Hard work or strenuous
exercise can increase body
temperature.
Exercise
- Women usually experience more hormone fluctuations than men.
- In women, progesterone secretion at the time of ovulation raises body temperature.
Hormones
Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system can increase the production of epinephrine and norepinephrine, that increases metabolic activity and heat production.
Strees.
Extremes in
environmental temperatures can
affect a person’s temperature
regulatory systems.
Environment
This are the 5 Common Sites for Measuring Body Temperature
- Oral
- Rectal
- Axilla
- Tympanic membrane
- Forehead
