1st Skills Lab: Taking Vital Signs

Zach Mcleery and his friend Allie came to the class to teach us about how to take certain vital signs. They taught us specifically how to a manual blood pressure and respiration rate. With those skills I took my classmate Ria's blood pressure and respiration rate. She was breathing at 12 bpm and had a blood pressure of 120/84. One of the more interesting things they taught us was how to secretly count a persons breathing. I personally really enjoyed our first lab and I am looking forward to the next.
