A Reading of X's Vital SignsThe following document will discuss the complete measurement, documentation, and analysis of X's vital signs over five days. X's vital signs include blood pressure readings while lying, sitting, and standing, as well as a pulse at each blood pressure reading, as well as a respiratory rate reading while lying down. The purpose of this assignment is to address abnormal readings and explain why these trends occur as well as address two logical and in-depth analyzes for each vital sign. The name of the person interviewed for this mission will remain confidential and anonymous. The individual will be documented as X. The individual was informed that my professor and I would read the data provided and provide consent. Blood pressure (BP) is the force of blood pushing against the side of its container, the vessel wall (Jarvis, 2009). Systolic pressure (SBP) is the maximum pressure felt on the artery during contraction of the left ventricle. Diastolic pressure (DBP) is the elastic recoil, or resting, pressure that the blood constantly exerts between each contraction (Jarvis, 2009). The young adult's average BP is 120/80 mm Hg. X's vital sign recording shows two abnormal readings, the first on November 23 and the second on December 4. Normally, X's baseline BP readings were around 100/85 mm Hg, but on November 23, the BP recorded 114/92 mm Hg. Looking through , she only had two average coffees, no breakfast and she feels very tired. According to these data, X had a significant elevation in his response to caffeine, compared to his baseline SBP and DBP. There is an acute effect of caffeine on blood pressure, with increases in middle of paper...... ReferencesCohen, DL, MD., & Tounsend, RR, MD. (2007).
