Nurses use a variety of methods to detect signs, including: - Physical Examination: This involves inspecting, palpating, percussing, and auscultating the patient to gather information. - Vital Signs Monitoring: Regularly checking parameters such as temperature, pulse, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. - Laboratory Tests: Analyzing blood, urine, or other bodily fluids to identify abnormalities. - Diagnostic Imaging: Using X-rays, CT scans, MRI, or ultrasound to visualize internal structures.
