B. VITAL SIGNS Temperature INSPECTION, PALPATION 36.5-37.5 C 38.8C Deviation Febrile due to increase of inflammation as evidenced by an increase in the number of WBC. Normal Deviation PR-Due to a response to the lowered blood pressure that result from peripheral vasodilation. BP- There is an increase in cardiac output , blood volume, blood viscosity have direct effect on the blood pressure.
