Blood Pressure
Normal <120/80 · Stage 1 HTN 130–139/80–89 · Stage 2 ≥140/90
Heart Rate
Normal 60–100 bpm · Tachycardia >100 · Bradycardia <60
Temperature
Normal 98.6°F · Low-grade fever 99–100.3°F · Fever ≥100.4°F
O2 Saturation
Normal ≥95% · Flag provider if <95%
Flag Threshold
BP >160/100, HR >120, Temp >101°F, O2 <95%
Vital signs assessment and interpretation
Obtain and interpret patient vital signs (temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate). Identify abnormal values and determine when to flag for provider.
A patient presents with BP 165/98, HR 102, temp 99.2F. Are these abnormal? Should I flag for provider?
Compiled vital signs interpretation: BP 165/98 = elevated (normal <120/80, stage 1 hypertension 130-139/80-89, stage 2 >140/90). HR 102 = tachycardia (normal 60-100). Temp 99.2F = borderline low-grade fever (normal 98.6, fever >100.4). FLAG: yes—elevated BP + tachycardia + fever suggests possible infection or acute condition. Alert provider before routine visit. Obtain full history: symptoms (chest pain, SOB, chills?), medications, recent illness. If patient has chest pain + these vitals: call provider immediately.

BP 165/98
Stage 2 hypertension — above 140/90 threshold
HR 102
Tachycardia — above 100 bpm normal limit
Temp 99.2°F
Borderline low-grade fever — below 100.4°F threshold
Combined Pattern
Elevated BP + tachycardia + fever — possible infection or acute condition
Action
FLAG provider before routine visit — obtain symptom history
Clinical procedure preparation and assistance
Prepare examination rooms, gather equipment, assist with patient procedures (injections, blood draws, EKGs), and ensure patient comfort and safety.
How do I prepare for a cardiac stress test? What safety precautions should I take?
Compiled stress test preparation: 1) Patient education—explain test (treadmill exercise while monitoring heart), duration (15-30 min), normal reactions (tired, short of breath). 2) Equipment: EKG leads, treadmill, crash cart nearby (CRITICAL), oxygen, emergency medications. 3) Vital signs baseline: BP, HR, temp before test. 4) Safety: check for contraindications (unstable angina, recent MI), ensure emergency equipment accessible, have provider present, continuous monitoring. 5) Stop test if: chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, abnormal rhythm. Never push patient to exhaustion.

Crash Cart
CRITICAL — must be in room and checked before test
Contraindication Screen
Unstable angina, recent MI, severe aortic stenosis — absolute contraindications
Baseline Vitals
BP, HR, and resting EKG before starting
Provider Presence
Provider must be present or immediately available
Stop Criteria
Chest pain, SOB, dizziness, abnormal rhythm — stop immediately
Patient communication and education
Communicate with patients about procedures, obtain informed consent, provide pre/post-procedure instructions, and answer common health questions.
Create a handout for patients about what to expect during a blood draw, pre-procedure prep, and post-draw instructions.
Generated 1-page patient handout: blood draw explanation (why needed, how it works), what to bring (insurance card, ID), preparation (no special prep unless fasting noted), during procedure (arm positioning, normal sensations, duration), post-draw (pressure bandage, no heavy lifting for 24 hours). Included: common questions (does it hurt, how long for results, can I eat after), when to call if problems (excessive bleeding, severe bruising, dizziness). Written in lay language, reassuring tone.

Preparation
No special prep unless fasting ordered — water is fine
During Procedure
Arm positioning, mild pinch sensation, 1–3 minutes typical
Post-Draw
Apply pressure 2 min · no heavy lifting 24 hrs · keep bandage on
Results Timeline
Routine 24–48 hrs · urgent same day — provider will contact you
When to Call
Excessive bleeding, severe bruising, dizziness lasting >30 min
Medication safety and patient administration support
Assist with medication administration (when scope permits), verify patient identity, check allergies, observe for adverse reactions, and answer medication questions.
A patient is about to receive an IM injection. I notice she has a penicillin allergy. The medication prescribed is penicillin-based. What do I do?
STOP injection immediately. This is a critical safety issue. Penicillin-based medications in patient with penicillin allergy = high risk of allergic reaction (rash, anaphylaxis, death). ACTION: 1) Do NOT give the medication, 2) Alert the provider immediately, 3) Check chart—confirm allergy documented, 4) Notify pharmacy if available. Provider must choose alternative antibiotic (non-penicillin). Your role: catch this before medication given. Always verify: patient identity (two identifiers), documented allergies, medication match.

Status
STOP — do not administer this medication
Risk
Anaphylaxis risk — potentially life-threatening reaction
Action 1
Alert provider immediately — do not proceed
Action 2
Confirm allergy documented in chart
Resolution
Provider must prescribe non-penicillin alternative

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I flag vital signs for the provider?
Flag anything significantly abnormal: BP >160/100 or <90/60, HR >120 or <50, temp >101F or <97F, RR >24 or <12, O2 sat <95%. Also flag: patient symptomatic (chest pain, severe headache, shortness of breath) regardless of numbers, sudden changes from baseline, trends worsening over time.
What should I do if a patient has an allergic reaction during a procedure?
Stop the procedure, notify provider immediately, have emergency equipment (epinephrine, oxygen) ready, monitor vital signs continuously, prepare for possible emergency care. Don't leave the patient alone. Document everything that happened.
How detailed should my documentation be in the EHR?
Document: chief complaint in patient's words, all vital signs, procedures performed (who, what, when, patient response), medications given or offered, patient education provided, any patient concerns. Be specific—avoid vague terms. Chart what you actually did and observed.
What do I do if I'm unsure whether a task is within my scope?
Ask the provider or your supervisor—don't guess. Scope of practice varies by state and facility. Your job is to work within your scope safely. Better to ask than to exceed your authority.
