A Manual set of Vital observations on a patient

I will competently perform a manual set of vital observations on a patient – this will include blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, and and pain scale, (neuro or neurovascular obs if applicable). I will be able to interpret the trend and discuss with the the facilitator/RN using appropriate critical thinking skills and relate these back to the patient’s condition.

I will also accurately and precisely document these vital observations in a legally acceptable manner as per requirements of the facility.

This objective is linked to the following 2 sub-standards of the RN Standards of Practice: 1. 2. What 3 resources will I use to achieve this learning objective? 1. 2. 3. Reflect on your Learning Objective: What strategies will I use to improve my skills/performance?
