Abstract

An assessment of an individual's vital signs—temperature, pulse, respirations, and blood pressure (BP)—gives an overview of his or her general health. These measures, which indicate the effectiveness of circulatory, respiratory, and neural body functions, offer a quick and efficient way to monitor a child's condition, identify problems, and evaluate the response to interventions. Therefore, it is imperative that the home care provider accurately assess these values. This article will review key principles in assessing vital signs in the child.
