Bessie: That’s good. I’m going to take your Obs. now.

Samira: What’s that?

Bessie: It’s your temperature, pulse and respirations - that’s how many breaths per minute - and your weight. I need to check your blood pressure and your oxygen sats, too.

Samira: OK.

Bessie: Right. I’ll just take your temperature with this special thermometer in your ear and wait for the beep.

Samira: What’s my temperature?

Bessie: Your temp’s thirty-seven three. That’s good.

Samira: Now what?

Bessie: I’ll get the rest of the information from this machine. Lift up your arm for me, please. I’ll wrap the cuff around your arm.

Samira: Is that OK?

Bessie: Yes, that’s fine. Now, I’ll just clip this lead on your finger.

Samira: What’s that for?

Bessie: It measures the amount of oxygen in your blood.

Samira: OK.

Bessie: I’ll turn on the machine now.

Samira: What does it say?

Bessie: Mm. Your blood pressure’s one hundred over sixty-eight. That’s fine. Your pulse is 64. That’s OK, too. Your oxygen sats are 98%. That’s the percentage of oxygen in your blood.

 Samira: Is that good?

Bessie: Yes, it’s fine. That’s all from this machine. I counted your respirations while you were watching the machine.

 Samira: I didn’t even know you were doing it.

Bessie: I know. OK, I’ll weigh you now. Samira, can you stand on these scales for me, please?

Samira: OK.
