A. Measuring Heart Beat and Breathing Rate (8pts) Normal Value 97.8 - 99.1 F 60 – 100 beats/minute Vital Sign Temperature Pulse Respirations / Breathing 12 – 18 breaths per minute Blood Pressure (SBP/ 90/60 to 120/80 DBP) a. Heart Beat To feel the pulse, find the artery in your wrist. Place the tips of the first two fingers of one hand on the palm side of your other wrist, over toward the thumb side of the wrist. You may need to press quite firmly in order to feel the pulse of blood which each heart beat sends through the artery. Don't use your thumb to feel the pulse in the wrist, because your thumb has a pulse of its own. Note: Practice counting the number of pulses in 30 seconds. Multiply that number by 2 to get heart rate (number of heart beats per minute). b. Breathing Rate Count the times you inhale within 30 seconds. Multiply the times you inhale by 2 to get the breathing rate per minute. If you cannot measure your own heart rate and breathing rate, ask a partner (housemate) to measure your breathing rate and heart beat for a whole day duration. List the heart beat and breathing rate throughout the day. Use the following as a guide. Note also for the time of the activity. Place your data below. Heart Beat Breathing Rate the minute you wake up before and after eating breakfast after 20 minutes of vigorous exercise after answering modules for about an hour relaxing/watching movies before sleeping
