To what degree are you required to take X number of "vital signs" (these being [insert your requirement here]) for each patient? My agency's standards requires a minimum of 2 sets of vitals for each PCR, which must include HR, BP, and RR, unless it's an RMA, for which we are only required to get a single set.
What are the minimum vital signs we should be obtaining on every (or almost every) patient? Are there any others than HR, BP, and RR? How about a BGL?
NB: This is a throwback to an older thread (in part).
