Physiologic status of body is reflected byindicators of body fxns
Normally regulated by the body thruhomeostatic mechanisms
Fall within certain normal ranges
Any change from the person's normal patternis considered indicative of a change in health.

Body Temperature
Balance between heat produced by the
body and the heat lost from the body
Heat by-product of metabolism
Heat balance: HP = HL

2 Kinds :
Core temperature Deep tissues of the body
e.g cranium, thorax, abdominal cavity, pelvic cavity
Remains constant = 37 C or 98.7 F
Surface temperature Skin, subcutaneous tissues and fats
Rises and falls in response to the environment.

1. Basal Metabolic Rate- rate of energy utilization in the body required
to maintain essential axs such as breathing- Age is inversely proportional to BMR- Female has 5-10% lesser BMR than males
2. Muscle Activity
- Increase heat production- Ex. shivering, exercise
3. Thyroxin Output
- Increases the rate of cellular metabolism
7/30/2019 OT6 - Vital Signs and Eval of Emotional Edjustment
7/40
4. Epinephrine, norepinephrine andsympathetic stimulation
- These hormones immediately increasethe rate of cellular metabolism in manybody tissues.
5. Temperature of body cells (fever)- Fever increases cellular metabolic rate- For every 1 C rise in temperature = about12% increase in chemical reaction

1. Mouth - oral temperature2. Anal canal- rectal temp.3. Armpit/ Axilla- axillary temp.
4. Esophagus- core temp. of the body's internalorgans; requires constant inner coretemp for optimal functioning.
Degrees of fever1.Pyrexia- elevated normal temperature or fever2. Hyperpyrexia- high fever

a. IntermittentAlternates at regular intervals between periodsof fever and periods of normal temperature
b. Remittent
A wide range of temperature fluctuationsoccurs over a 24 hour period, all of which areabove normal.
c. Relapsing Fever
Short febrile periods, interspersed with periodsof 1 or 2 days of normal temperature.d. Constant Fever
Body temperature fluctuates minimally butalways remains elevated

Radiation Transfer of heat without contact between two objects.
Ex. infrared light Conduction There is contact between two surfaces Ex. The body is immersed in ice water
Convection Dispersion of heat by air currents.
Vaporization It is the continuous evaporation of moisture from the
respiratory tract and from the mucous of the mouth andthe skin.

AGE
An infant's temperature is generally influenced bythe environment.
Children have unstable body temperature untilpuberty.
75 years old and up, they are hypothermic due toloss of subcutaneous fat and lack of activity.
DIURNAL VARIATIONS Temperature normally changes throughout the day
8 am to 12NN (highest); 4 am to 6 am (lowest)
EXERCISE

HORMONES
progesterone raises body temperature during ovulation
STRESS
Stimulation of SNS can increase the production ofepinephrine and norepinephrine, thereby increasing
heat production
Ex: anxious patients have high body temperature ENVIRONMENT

Is a wave of blood created by contraction ofthe left ventricle of the heart
heart contracts to eject blood into theaorta the arterial walls expand or distendto compensate for the increase in pressure
sends the wave through the arterial system,that on palpation can be felt as a light tap

Stroke volume amount of blood with each ventricular contraction.
Compliance ability of the arteries to contract and expand.
Pulse rhythm pattern of pulsation and the pauses between them, which
is regular. Arrythmia
irregular pattern of heart beat. Pulse rate the number of pulsation felt in a minute. This rate
corresponds to the same rate at which the heart is beating
differs as individuals age

Age- as age increases, PR decreases Sex- after puberty- male PR is lower than Female Exercise- increases with ax Fever- increased PR- increased metabolism
Medication-epinephrine-increases HR Hemorrhage- loss of blood from the vascular system increase PR as
the body compensate to the lost of blood volume. Stress Position change patients experiencing pain- elevated strong emotions- elevated prolonged application ofheat-elevated decreased in blood quantity-elevated
any condition resulting in poor oxygenation of blood

Palpation or Auscultation
Use middle 2-3 fingers in palpating the
pulses except the apical pulse which isby auscultation only.
Application of pressure
Excessive pressure- can obliterate a pulse
Too little pressure- pulse cannot bedetected

Eupnea Dyspnea Apnea
Death = if breathing is suppressed for more than 5-6mins. Orthopnea upright position assumed by the client to facilitate
breathing. Sitting position uses gravity to lower organs in the
abdominal cavity to fall away from the diaphragm. Stertorous
noisy breathing

Force of blood against the arterial walls
Blood pressure is measured in mmhg Recorded as fraction.
Max BP is exerted on the walls of the artries whenthe left ventrcles of the heart pushes blood through
the aortic valve into the aorta.
When the heart rests between beats, the pressuredrops.

Age normal fluctuations occurring in a day BP is lowest upon arising in the morning, will gradually
rise towards the afternoon and falls again during sleep. Gender women have lower BP than men
BP will rise after eating BP (systole) will rise after an exercise
Strong emotions such as anger, fear, excitementand pain rises BP Position lower when in supine or prone position than when
standing or sitting
7/30/2019 OT6 - Vital Signs and Eval of Emotional Edjustment

Hypertension Above normal BP. When the cause is due to a known pathology, it is
called secondary hypertension.
Primary or essential- without known cause Hypotension- BP below normal
Orthostatic (postural) hypotension - low BP associated withweakness or fainting when rising to an erect position. Can beprevented by rising slowly.
Sphygmomanomater- consist of a cuff and a manometerCuff- airtight, flat, rubber bladder covered with cloth
size should be appropriate to the patient's age Aneroid manometer- commonly used Mercury manometer- has mercury filled cylinder or tube meniscus- the
top point on the curved surface BP reading eye level Korotkoff sounds - series of sound one hears when measuring
BP

falsely low assessment hearing deficit noise in the environment viewing the meniscus above eye level inserting eartips of the stet. Incorrectly using cracked or kink tubing releasing the valve rapidly misplacing the bell beyond the direct area of the artery
disappearance of pulse - failing to pump the cuff 20-30 mm Hg above thepatient's expected BP
falsely high assessment
using manometer not calibrated at zero level assessing the blood pressure immediately after exercise viewing the meniscus below eye level applying a cuff that is too narrow releasing the cuff too slowly reinflating the bladder during auscultation

(WHO) CLASSIFICATION OF PHYSICAL DISABILITY
IMPAIRMENT an abnormality of the physiological structure ordeviation from a biomedical norm.
eg. Fx-dislocation of C5-6 DISABILITY a limitation resulting from the impairment; an
inability to perform any activity considered normal or requiredfor some recognized social role or occupation
eg. Inability to dress self because of the loss
HANDICAP any resulting social disadvantage for an individualthat limits the fulfillment of a normal role or occupation.
eg. Lack of accessibility for a quadriplegic person to ajob site due to architectural or social barriers person

Sexuality Family The effect of the disability on the current lifestyle and
needs of family members Family ethnic and religious background and values The psychological and physical home environment The performance skills needed by the patient for
discharge to the home
Family awareness of community resources such as respitecare, professional follow-up services, independent livingcenters and funding resources
Culture Role Changes
7/30/2019 OT6 - Vital Signs and Eval of Emotional Edjustment
37/40
Stage 1: VIGILANCE Becoming engulfed at the initial point of injury or acute
illness Experience of internal state of calmness contrasted with
outward behavior of extreme distress and screaming, in
response to severe pain Stage ends when person surrenders to care of others,
often emergency medical personnel
Stage 2: DISRUPTION
Taking time out, a disruption of reality, described asfeeling as if in a fog Significant others provide emotional support and serve as
an orienting force in an otherwise confusing, chaoticenvironment;
7/30/2019 OT6 - Vital Signs and Eval of Emotional Edjustment
38/40
Stage 3: ENDURING THE SELF Confronting and regrouping Improvement in reality orientation with the implications of the injury
recognized Stage at which severity of physical limitations is faced Support from others is needed to control a sense of panic and fear of the
diminished physical ability Even small gains witnessed in therapy sessions are interpreted asevidence that a full recovery is possible
Preserved sense of hope to reclaim previous abilities may help endurethe initial healing process from burns, amputations, and SCI, by holdingonto the faith in medical miracles, and return to prior physical ability
Stage 4: STRIVING TO REGAIN SELF Merging the old and new reality is marked with frustration in attempting
to regain previously taken-for-granted tasks such as walking and feedingoneself by the use of compensatory methods.
Feeling of exhaustion in developing new routines, frustration with thelimited physical capacity to participate in a range of activities, and a needto reformulate goals
