CLINICAL REASONING CYCLE2
Question 1- Introduction
I am the nurse of a secondary school. I along with my supervisor are supervising the
bubble soccer match which is going on. The match started at 2.00 P.M. The day was very hot and
sunny, the temperature at th Qat time is 32 degree celcius and the humidity is 20%. The case
study is about a 16 years old boy named Jonathan and this incident is of the year 2011. After 1
hour time I assessed him.
Question 2-The objective and subjective data
I assessed all the vital signs of Jonathan, his body temperature is found to be 38.5 degree
celcius. The rate of pulse is 140 beats/minute. The respiratory rate is 29 breathe per minute and
the blood pressure is 130/70 mmHg. The skin of the patient was quite flushed and the shirt was
soaked. This condition is quite obvious as he is playing at that time. Because Jonathan is a new
comer, his past medical records are not available in the school. He has come from anther state
and has joined the school in the last week.
Question 3-Analysis and interpretation of the identified cues
Jonathan is playing the match on 5 April, before that day he has measured his vital signs
on 2 and 3 April. On 2 April, his blood pressure was 110/60, his pulse rate was 70, his
respiratory rate was 14 and his temperature was 36.8. On 3 April, his vital sign were, blood
pressure was 12/60, his pulse rate was 74.His respiratory rate was 12 and the body temperature
was 36.6. So it is seen that not all the value of the vital signs of Jonathan was normal. The
normal value of the respiratory rate is 10-14 and the normal pulse rate is 70 (Churpek et al.,
2015). So these two values are found to be normal. Whereas the other values of the vital sign are
