Well done explaining and demonstrating how to take vital signs! Sometimes the basic skills are difficult to master. Practice, practice, practice... Thank you!
Ive never been able to manually check blood pressure, I just didnt get it. NOW I do! explaining that the diastolic is you waiting for an unsound, that clicked in my brain! thank you
Same here! Whenever I did my skills for my CNA license, I was praying that I didn’t have to do a BP skill, because I was never able to hear the “knocking sound” aka the systolic reading! I just remember the “righty tidy, lefty Loosy”! 😅😅 After watching this video, I’m confident to a manual BP reading!! 😊😊
Hi Ellis. I found your video by chance looking for an answer. Particularly in your video I saw the "action" but the "explanation". My question is: How often and in which circumstances a General Physician or Medical Specialist should have the patient undress the chest area (top-less) to measure heart and breathing rates. My concern is related in particular in an interaction between male doctor - female patient. Thanks a lot for sharing
You can measure heart and breathing rates without the patient being top-less, you can place the stethoscope under someone's top after you've explained what you're doing, you could probably ask them to lift their top themselves if they are able, if not just be as respectful as you can.
I start my new cna job april 9th. And i swear i cannot take bp manually for the life of me. I get how to do it its just its difficult taking it manually. I hope my assisted living does it electronically lmao
@@maimoonahshamshuddin8671 do you by any chance know if you’re supposed to assess notify provider then document or if you’re supposed to assess document then notify provider. For things that aren’t urgent I thought assess document notify but if urgent shouldn’t you notify immediately as second step

This expansion was well explained, thank you
I could not count the irregular apical pulse to 136 even after trying a couple of times. Do we add 2 numbers at the time when the beat is too fast?
Can you perhaps recommend a good watch to buy?
I love the skills video! Please do a med pass/insulin demo
This was so educative
I was so excited I got 136 too😊
So Helpful!!!!! Thank You!!!
Glad it was helpful!
excellent video... thanks
Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much for this video.
You are so welcome!

If you have both irregular resp and pulse so you count for 2 min?
very helpful video
So glad it helped!
Thank you so much nurse

Most have electronic. I’m learning this all over again and I was an aide for over 13 years and never once did a bp manually aside from class.
Great info easy to comprehend much better fr me to refress
Glad it was helpful!
The videos are great and super helpful. Can you please make a video on how to flush a PICC line properly and how to change dressing on a PICC line :)
We do have one on changing a central venous catheter dressing! - Ellis
How did you count the irregular beats when you were auscultating the apex of the heart? The double beat is equivalent to one beat?
Each count is two sounds: s1 and s2 (or "lub" and "dub").
@@LevelUpRN yes I understand that.. however when it is irregular, how do you count those?

Your only doing under the ear if the forehead is sweaty. Other than that its temporal across and to the hairline
