1. ** Hypothermia ** - A low body temperature, below 95 degrees measured rectally ** Hypotension ** - Low blood pressure 2. ** Hypothermia ** - A low body temperature, below 95 degrees measured rectally. 3. ** Oral temperatures ** - Are taken in the mouth. This is usually the most common, convenient, and comfortable method of obtaining a temperature. 4. ** Palpation ** - Technique used to feel the texture, size, consistency, and location of parts of the body with the hands 5. ** Percussion ** - Technique of tapping with the fingertips to evaluate size, borders, and consistency of internal structures of the body 6. ** Pulse ** - Pressure of the blood felt against the wall of an artery as the heart contracts or beats 7. ** Pulse deficit ** - The difference between the rate of an apical pulse and the rate of a radial pulse 8. ** Pulse pressure ** - The difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure 9. ** Pupil ** - The black center of the eye
 * 10 Radial Pulse ** - The pulse felt at the wrist
 * 11 Rate ** - Number per minute, as with pulse and respiration counts
 * 12 Reactivity ** - In the pupil of the eyes, reacting to light by changing size
 * 13 Rectal temperatures ** - Are taken in the rectum and is the most accurate of all methods
 * 14 Respiration ** - the process of taking in oxygen (02) and expelling carbon dioxide (CO2) from the lungs and respiratory tract.
 * 15 Rhythm ** - Referring to regularity; regular or irregular
 * 16 Sign ** - An indication of a patient's condition that is objective, or can be observed by another person; an indication that can be seen, heard, smelled or felt by the medical practioner
 * 17 Sphygmomanometer ** - instrument calibrated for measuring blood pressure in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg)
 * 18 Stethoscope ** - Instrument used for listening to internal body sounds
 * 19 Symptom ** - An indication of a patient's condition that cannot be observed by another person but rather is subjective, or felt and reported by the patient
 * 20 Systolic Blood Pressure ** - The pressure created in the arteries by the blood during ventricular contraction
 * 21 Tachycardia ** - Fast, or rapid, heartbeat (usually more than 100 beats per minute in an adult)
 * 22 Tachypnea ** - Respiratory rate abovve 25 respirations per minute.
 * 23 Temperature ** - The balance between heat lost an heat produced by the body
 * 24 Thermometer ** - Instrument used to measure temperature
 * 25 Tympanic Thermometers ** - are specialized electronic thermometers that record the aural temperature in the ear.
