Monitoring The Patient

The best known tests that medics use to make a diagnosis are :

readings of the four standards:

1-Temperature 2 -The heart rate

(PULS)

3-Blood pressure.4-Respiratory rate .

There are 6 types for assessing the patient's health and making a diagnosis:

1-Monitoring of body functions:

includes: vital signs, bowel , bladder habits,

growth, movement,

responsiveness  and the electric  activity  of the heart and brain.

2 -Analysis of body fluids

such as: blood, urine, spinal and brain fluid.

3 -Imaging

Generally:getting pictures of what is going on inside the

body, as  x-rays, Ultrasound,

radioisotope scans, computed tomography (CT) scans, Magnetic resonance imaging

(MRI),  Position emission tomography

(PET) scan.

4-Endoscopy the use of a flexible

viewing tube (endoscope) to look inside the

body. An endoscope has a

light and a camera, and

sometimes a tool to cut and

remove tissue

5-Biopsy The removal of

tissue samples for

examination. Tissues that

are commonly examined

include : skin, breast, lung, liver, kidney

and bone.

6-Analysis of genetic material

In cells from skin,

blood .bone narrow to look

for abnormalities

of chromosomes

and genes.

when the heart contracts and

forces out blood

The normal

temperature

36.5-37.2

Bp(Blood pressure):

90/60- 140/90(The normal)

The heart rate: 60-100

beats per miunte

The respiration rate:

1- 12-20 breaths per minute 2-the maximum heart rate when exercising should be  (220 - your age)
