Hey there, junior! :) The class was asked to answer these 6 questions last Fab. 13 and yeah. I am sort of late but nevertheless, I shall do this. You know why? Because life is a warfare! ;D Wink!

I shall know;

• How to make an unoccupied and occupied bed
• How to take the patient's vital signs
• How to bath the patient and a lot more

2.  Why should the home nurse monitor the vital signs of the patient?

A home nurse should monitor the vital signs of the patient to be able to know the patient's respiratory rate, pulse rate, temperature, blood pressure.

3.  How do you take the body temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure of the patient?

Body temperature, use the thermometer. Avoid touching the bulb of the thermometer because it is fragile and unsanitary. It will be placed in the patient's mouth, armpit or rectum depending on the patient's condition.

Pulse rate, use your index finger and your middle finger to get ze pulse rate. No no use yar thumb, why? because life is a warfare ;D Next, place your two fingers on your wrist, temple, ankle or throat though wrist is the most convenient, for 1 minute and count yar pulse, nigga.

Respiratory Rate? *some text missing*

Lastly, the blood pressure, use the stethoscope and sphyg.. styg.. no, sphygmano.. oh, wait. sphygmomanometer. Yeah! That. =)) Then.. Maybe later. ;D

Signs? Yun ba yung sa first year? General Signs? Bio na ngayon eh. =))) Corny eh. Sorreh! Eto na. ☺ Signs are what the doctor sees and symptoms are what the patient experiences. I asked my mother to differentiate it too but, she just agreed on what I said and didn't add any more. :( So, yeah. That's it.

6.  If you are the doctor, what will be your basis in giving the diagnosis for your patient?

If I'm the doctor(never)..

I will base my diagnosis from the patient's history, the further assessments made and the signs and symptoms present in the patient. =)))

Administration of medicine is the manner in which a medicine is administered that will determine to some extent whether or not the patient gains any clinical benefit, and whether they suffer any adverse effect from their medicines. Administration of medicine is done by doctors, nurses and even home nurses. ☺

There are many things that I've learned from this topic.

A home nurse should know the when, where, how, what, and why a medicine should be given to a patient. It will surely help in the fast recovery of a patient. Knowing when to give the medicine to the patient is important because it is necessary to follow certain schedules in administering the medicine. Giving medicine to the patient at the right place is necessary to be able to provide needed stuff in the appropriate place.

How the medicine should be administered is really important. A home nurse should also follow proper medication for the patient. The appropriate medicine should be given to a patient undergoing a certain sickness. And why a medicine should be given is another important factor. The home nurse should have enough knowledge on these questions. The home nurse shouldn't necessarily be witty but, anyone can as long as they have enough knowledge about home nursing. Bye!
