An 80-year-old patient has experienced a massive blood loss following an accident. His vital signs are: Blood pressure/BP 80/50 (normal ~ 120/80), heart rate/HR 120 (norm = 60-100), respiratory rate/RR 20 (norm = 12 to 20), temperature/T 98.6° (norm ~ 98.6°). The patient would also most likely have all of the following EXCEPT S&S of cool feet and hands from the body’s compensatory response to blood loss. S&S of feeling faint and weak from blood loss. a risk factor of shock. a more guarded (ie, “poorer”) prognosis because of his age.

You are doing an Orthostatic BP test on a patient for the first time by yourself. In the supine position, your BP readings are 130/78 mmHg and HR 62. You skip the sitting position and go directly to standing per the doctor's orders. Your patient's BP responses for normal and abnormal are listed below. (Pay attention to the normal supine numbers for the normal response) Normal response: Systolic likely increased to 134 mmHg, Diastolic increased to 80 mmHg, and HR increased to 70 BPM. Abnormal response (orthostatic hypotension): Systolic increased to 130 mmHg, diastolic decreased greater than 10 mmHg, HR decreased greater than 20 BPM.

A certain group of test subjects had pulse rates with a mean of 71.7 beats per minute and a standard deviation of 13.2 beats per minute. Use the range rule of thumb to identify the limits separating values that are significantly low or significantly high. Is a pulse rate of 88.1 beats per minute significantly low or significantly high? *Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.* a. Significantly low values are ___ beats per minute or lower. b. Significantly high values are____ beats per minute or higher. c.Is a pulse rate of 88.1 beats per minute significantly low or significantly high?
