Nurses use a variety of instruments and techniques to conduct biometric measurements. For instance: - Height and Weight: Measured using a stadiometer and a calibrated scale. - BMI: Calculated using the formula: weight (kg) / height (m²). - Blood Pressure: Measured with a sphygmomanometer or an automated blood pressure monitor. - Heart Rate: Assessed by palpating the pulse or using an electronic monitor. - Temperature: Taken using thermometers (oral, tympanic, or infrared). - Respiratory Rate: Counted by observing chest movements or using a respiratory monitor.
