You might hear the word vital signs in almost any medical setting. These words may be more familiar to you if your loved ones are receiving personal health care in Florida.
But what are vital signs, really? Why would a private duty aide monitor them?
Vital signs can help provide details about the body’s most basic functions. Medical professionals, including providers of home care in West Palm Beach, Florida, use vital signs to measure how a patient is doing. If the measurements are not within the normal ranges, there is something wrong.
