 Vitals Monitoring (Temperature, Pressure, Pulse, Respiration, Oxygen, and Glucose)
Consistent monitoring of vital signs provides an essential window into overall health. Our nurses carefully check and record vital signs, including blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, oxygen levels, and blood glucose levels. These regular assessments help identify changes early, guide care decisions, and keep families and healthcare providers informed, bringing peace of mind and proactive support.
