Hey there! Are you looking for an easy and practical way to keep track of your vital signs? Look no further! We’ve got you covered with our free Basic Monthly Vital Sign Log. Let’s start with the basics. Vital signs are measurements of your body’s basic functions and can be indicators of your overall health. They include your blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and body temperature. It’s important to keep track of your vital signs regularly in order to detect any changes that may indicate an underlying health condition. Our Basic Monthly Vital Sign Log makes it easy for you to record your vital signs in one convenient place. Each month, simply print out a new sheet and fill in your measurements as you go. You’ll be able to see patterns and trends over time, which can help you and your healthcare provider make informed decisions about your health. Let’s take a look at how to use the log. First up is your blood pressure. Use a blood pressure monitor to take your measurements and record them in the “Blood Pressure” section of the log. Be sure to include both your systolic (top number) and diastolic (bottom number) readings. Next, we have your heart rate. You can use a pulse oximeter or simply count your pulse for 60 seconds to get an accurate reading. Record your heart rate in the “Pulse” section. Moving on to your respiratory rate, use a stopwatch or timer to count the number of breaths you take in one minute. Record your measurement in the “Respirations” section. Your oxygen saturation, or the amount of oxygen in your blood, can be measured using a pulse oximeter. Record your saturation level in the “Oxygen Saturation” section. Lastly, we have your body temperature. You can use a thermometer to take your temperature orally, rectally, or under the arm and record it in the “Temperature” section. Now that you know how to use the log, let’s take a look at what it looks like. Each sheet includes a header with the month and year, followed by sections for each vital sign. Let’s take a closer look at each section. In the “Blood Pressure” section, we have an image of a blood pressure monitor and the heading “Blood Pressure”. Below that, there are two columns for you to record your readings. Next up is the “Pulse” section, which includes an image of a heart rate monitor and the heading “Pulse”. There is a single column for you to record your pulse readings. In the “Respirations” section, we have an image of a stopwatch and the heading “Respirations”.
