Appendix B Taking Vital Signs; Understanding Questions And Reminders - Honeywell Genesis Touch User Manual

Appendix B
Taking Vital Signs
This appendix provides additional detail, beyond what is provided in the Patient Telemonitoring
Instructions, for taking vital signs.
The Genesis Touch provides two options for taking vital signs. Vitals can be scheduled so that you are
prompted at the appropriate time to take your vital signs, or you can initiate collection of your vital signs
manually.
Your care provider has most likely scheduled your monitor to acquire your vitals at specific times on
specific days. Before you take the first set of vital signs, ensure that you know how to use each piece of
equipment. If you have any questions about how to take your vital signs, contact your care provider.
If you want to take your vital signs manually, go to Taking Vital Signs Manually.
Understanding Questions and Reminders
Your care provider may schedule important healthcare questions and/or reminders to gather more
information on your health status.
When questions have been configured as part of your vitals acquisition, a screen similar to the following
appears with questions that were configured specifically for you:
Select either Yes or No in response to the question. If more questions are configured, the next question
appears. When the questions are completed, the monitor continues to the next vitals acquisition. Refer to
the section related to the appropriate vitals acquisition for more information:
