instructions.
3. Unfold your ironing board near the outlet. Plug in
your iron and choose the appropriate setting based on
the material of the clothes you are ironing.
4. Preheating the flat iron should be done before
starting. You will have to wait about 2-5 minutes to
let the iron warm up.
5. Place and arrange the garment across the ironing
board before you start ironing.
6. Unplug the iron and do not store if it is still hot.
2. Washing Machine 1. The very first step in washing is sorting the clothes.
Separate white and light color from dark-colored
clothes. Also, they should be sorted according to
their material.

again until you are done with the laundry.
9. Turn off and unplug the unit.
Common Equipment in Taking Vital Signs
Are you discovering more! The next will be the most useful
eequipment and paraphernalia for checking your patient or client’s Vital Signs.
When caring for an infant, toddler, child, elderly or person with special needs,
measuring the vital signs should be taken with proper care. This module will lead
you to the basic knowledge of taking vital signs. As you learn the different processes,
you will also perform taking vital signs.
But first, let us talk about vital signs. Vital signs are bodily functions that
reflect the body’s state of health and are easily measurable. These are body
temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. In some cases, the
pain that a person experiences is considered to be the fifth vital sign.
Have you seen doctors and nurses wearing their stethoscopes? Do you like
to be one of them in the future?
Let us identify the paraphernalia that are important in diagnosing patient’s
condition:
1. Thermometer
Body temperature is a measurement of the amount of heat in the
body. The balance between heat produced and heat lost is the body
temperature. The normal adult body temperature is 37 degrees Cel sius.
There is a normal range in which a person’s body temperature may vary and
still be considered normal.
Take a look at these normal ranges of body temperature:
Oral : 36.4 to 37.2 degrees Celsius
Rectal : 37 to 37.8 degrees Celsius
Axillary : 35.9 to 36.7 degrees Celsius
The following are the different types of thermometers:
1. Clinical thermometer may be inserted either into the rectum through the
anus (rectal temperature), into the mouth under
the tongue (oral or sub-lingual) or armpit (axillary
temperature).
It is made of glass with a narrowing above the bulb
so that the mercury column stays in position even
when the instrument is removed but the use of this
type is now being eradicated as the mercury
content is dangerous to people.
2. Digital thermometer may be inserted into the mouth under the tongue,
under the armpit or into the anus.
This thermometer displays the reading in the LCD.
This type of thermometer does not use mercury
which is hazardous to humans. That is why more
and more people are using it now.
using this is simple, quick and effective.
3.Ear digital measures the heat coming from the eardrum.
thermometer This release of heat is converted into a
temperature and displayed on an LCD.
It is very easy to use because you just have to
place the tip in the ear of a person, press the
button and in a few seconds, the measurement is
seen on the LCD.
2. Infrared measures temperature using thermal radiation
thermometer with emitted by the body.
laser pointer
It is also called laser thermometer which a laser
is utilized to aid in aiming the temperature.
Others call it non-contact thermometer because
of its ability to measure temperature from a
distance.
It provides temperature reading without
physically touching the object.
All you have to do is aim at the object (as in the
forehead), pull the trigge r and immediately, you
can see the temperature reading on the LCD.
3. BP Apparatus
Another important measurement that you should learn to take is the blood
pressure. Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the walls of the
blood vessels. The heart contracts as it pumps the blood into the arteries. When the
heart is contracting, the pressure is highest. This pressure is what we know as the
systolic pressure. Now, as the heart relaxes between each contraction, the pressure
decreases. When the heart is at its most relaxed state, the pressure is lowest. And
we call this diastolic pressure. The following steps will help you measure blood
pressure accurately.
Before taking the Blood Pressure of the patient always w ash hands and
prepare the equipment you will use.
1. Introduce yourself and let the patient or client know the procedure to be done.
2. Sanitize the earpieces of the stethoscope with an antiseptic pad.
3. Ask your client to rest quietly. Have him/her lie down or sit on a chair
whichever is more comfortable for him/her.
4. If you are using a mercurial apparatus, the measuring scale should be within
the level of your eyes.
5. Expose the arm of your client by rolling the sleeves up. Have your client’s arm
from the elbow down to rest fully extended on the bed or the arm of a chair.
6. Unroll the cuff, loosen the screw and squeeze the cuff with your hands to
remove air completely.
7. Wrap the cuff around your client’s arm above the elbow, not too tight or too
loose.
8. Find your client’s brachial pulse at the inside of the e lbow. Hold the
diaphragm there and inflate the cuff until the pulse disappears. Take note of
the reading and immediately deflate the cuff. This is the client’s approximate
systolic reading and is called the palpated systolic pressure.
9. Place the stethoscope’s earpieces into your ears and place the diaphragm on
the brachial pulse.
10. Turn the screw to close it. Inflate the cuff until the dial points to 30 mm above
the palpated systolic pressure.
11. Turn the screw to open it. Let the air escape slowly until the sound of the
pulse comes back. Take note of the calibration that the pointer passes as you
hear the first sound. This indicates the systolic pressure.
12. You have to continue releasing the air from the cuff. When you hear the
sounds change to something softer and faster and disappear, take note of the
calibration. This is now the diastolic pressure
13. Deflate the cuff complete. Remove it from the arm of your client and record
the reading on the client’s chart.
14. Wipe the earpieces of the stethoscope with cotton and alcohol and place the
equipment back to their proper place and wash your hands.
Let us learned the estimated Normal Blood Pressure for Age
Age Normal Systolic Range Normal Diastolic Range
Adolescent (14–18 years) 90–120 mm Hg 50–80 mm Hg
Adult (19–40 years) 95–135 mm Hg 60–80 mm Hg
Adult (41–60 years) 110–145 mm Hg 70–90 mm Hg
Older adult (61 and older) 95–145 mm Hg 70–90 mm Hg
