girth =level of umbilicus
assess skin integrity,contour symmetry,movement,
-bowel sounds should be heard 1 every5~30seconds in a 3~5 minutes period hyperactive high pitched increased motility

CARDIOVASCULAR SEE HEART
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
cervical-axillary-inguinal nodes are not observed or palpable
SEE NOTES RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
URINARY SYSTEM
bladder at mid line symphysis pubis
-unable to palpate
VITAL SIGNS
T=35.9-37.4 P=76 R=20 BP=110-140/60-90
temp=hypothalamus
surface temp=temp of skin
-rectal/tympani c temp=.5C higher
axillary=.5C lower
-tachycardia=100-180beats
-bradacardia=below60 beats
PULSES-apical.brachial,carotid,
dorsalis pedis-femoral,popliteal,posterior tibial,radial,temporal,ulna
BP marked systolic with a V and diastolic with upside down V on graph
OXYGEN
-pulse oximetry measure O2 saturation of arterial blood
-O2 saturation = amt of O2 bound to hemoglobin in tge blood is expressed as %...95-98%
HT / WT2.2lbs=1kg and 2.5cm = 1 inch
