I take Obs very often. I always follow the same procedure. First, I weigh the patient and write the weight
on the chart. Then I take the patients temperature. I use a tympanic thermometer. I ask the patient to
turn his or her head and I have to wait for the beep. Next, I put the blood pressure cuff on and check
the patients blood pressure and pulse. I also clip a lead onto the patients finger to measure his or her
oxygen saturation. I count the patients respirations, and note them down on the chart too. Im very
quick because I do the same thing every day.
