Nursing Observations
Competency Based Learning
Overview
Regularly measuring and recording clinical observations such as vital signs and other physiological indicators is fundamentally necessary for assessing patients and identifying any clinical deterioration.
OBJECTIVE:
To offer guidance to medical staff on:
- Recording clinical observations.
- Recognizing normal variations and identifying when they change, indicating worsening symptoms or conditions.
- Understanding the physiological and anatomical basis for these variations.
CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS:
Clinical observations might encompass:
- estimating hemoglobin-oxygen saturation (spo2, pulse oximetry)
- oxygen delivery
- respiratory rate (rr)
- signs of respiratory distress
- heart/pulse rate (hr/pr)
- blood pressure (bp) – systolic, diastolic, and mean
- temperature
- level of consciousness
- pain assessment
- in specific clinical scenarios, additional observations (e.g., neurological or neurovascular observations) may be necessary.
