A blood pressure/temp worksheet for students

Hello nursing world,:yeah::yeah:

As some may know, I have taken a teaching position at our local cc teaching a CNA program. Oh, it is so fun and exciting. We are working on VS. I was wondering if anyone knows where I may find pictures of various BP and temp readings where the students will actually have to fill in the numbers. I would like them to work on the reading skills before we move on to actually checking each other.

Thanks in advance!,

difficult to find, i've never seen it.... you may want to create your own. i don't seen any harm in diving and start practicing. the benefits today is the internet, ie., http://www.youtube.com "when in doubt, check it out." please tell your students don't deflate the cuff faster then they can read it. and be gentle. i've seen painful injuries such as skin tear, bruise just from some people taking b/p's.

Thanks Mandykal,

We did go right ahead and start practicing. I searched high and low and could not find the type of worksheet I wanted. I remember we had some back in nursing school. For the test, I am thinking that I will take your advise and make my own.
