Hepatitis B - is caused by a direct contact with infected blood, such as from receiving a tattoo, acupunctureHepatitis C (HCV) - was originally known as the non-A hepatitis and non-B hepatitis. It is a viral disease that leads to swelling (inflammation) of the liver. currently there is no vaccine for HCVHepatitis A- is caused by a virus. It is the most common form of the disease occurring in children and young adults.Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) - is the virus that can lead to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV destroys specific blood cells, calledCD4+ T cells, which are very important in fighting disease. HIV is spread by having unprotected sex, sharing needles, or being born to an infected mother.

-Proper techniques to carry/dispose of needles:-all needles, scalpel blades, and other sharp objects should be disposed of in the proper puncture resistant container (sharps container)- never carry needles or sharps from one location to another with the tips pointing toward other people or yourself. Point them toward the floor!

VITAL SIGNS are the assessment of pulse, respiration, blood pressure, and temperature; body functions essential to life.

1. Pulse:a. The pulse reflects the condition of the patient’s circulatory system and cardiac

function. Therefore, changes in the pulse indicate a change in the patient’s status.If a pulse is not detected, emergency medical services (EMS) should be activated and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) must be started immediately

b. Veins carry blood from body to heartc. Arteries carry blood from heart to bodyd. Reflects the condition of a patient’s circulatory system and cardiac functione. Normal adult pulse is 60-100 beats per minute –

tachycardia=pulse over 100, and Bradycardia = pulse below 60f. Average pulse is 70-80 beats per minute g. Athletic pulse is typically 50-60 beats per minute (bpm ) h. Radial pulse is taken on the thumb side of the wrist (radial artery)i. Carotid pulse is taken at the front of the neck (carotid artery)j. Pulse must be taken with the index and middle finger because your thumb has

its own pulsek. You count the beats of the pulse for one minutel. THINGS THAT CAN RAISE YOUR PULSE…

m.2.

a. rapid/weak pulse may indicate:Shock, bleeding, diabetic coma, heat exhaustion

b. rapid/strong pulse may indicate:Heat stroke, severe freight, pain

c. strong/slow pulse may indicate:skull fracture, stroke

d. no pulse may indicate:cardiac arrest, death

Pulse locations/main arteries:

3. Respirationsa. Breathing, or respiration, is the process of bringing oxygen into the body where it

can be utilized by the cells, and expelling carbon dioxide, which is eliminated as a waste product from the cells.

b. Age 15+: Average respirations are 16-18 breaths per minutec. A well trained athlete can be lower because of the increase of lung volume and

vital capacity.

d. Abdominal breathingi. Breathing using primarily the abdominal muscles while the chest is

mostly stille. Apnea

i. cessation (end) of breathingf. bradypnea

i. abnormally slow breathing

g. cheyne-strokes respirationsi. periods of apnea lasting 10-60 seconds followed by periods of fast and

slow breathingh. decreased

i. a systolic pressure value below 100 mm Hg or above 139 mm Hgii. a diastolic pressure value below 65 mm Hg or above 89 mm Hg

f. implications:i. low blood pressure (hypotension) may indicate shock, dehydration, or

internal injury1. possible causes for low blood pressure: heart failure, heat

exhaustion, heat stroke, pregnancy, hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism, or severe infection

ii. high blood pressure (hypertension) may be a dangerous precursor for cardiac problems/strokes. High blood pressure can exhert extreme pressure on blood vessels including the vascular regions of the brain.
