Vital Signs Observation Chart

A vital signs observation chart for recording a participant's observations as directed in their plan or by a health professional. Support workers log each set of readings against the participant's own baseline and escalate anything outside their expected range.

What is inside:

• Guidance on following the participant's baseline and plan over general figures
• When to call 000, such as trouble breathing, unresponsiveness, chest pain or a rapidly changing condition
• General adult reference ranges for temperature, pulse, respirations, oxygen saturation and blood pressure
• Participant details, required observations and frequency, usual baseline and escalation instructions
• Observation log: date, time, temperature, pulse, respirations, blood pressure, SpO2, pain or notes, action taken and initials

Good to know: the reference ranges are a general adult guide only, not a diagnosis. The participant's plan and baseline take priority.

• Reviewed against the current NDIS Rules, Practice Standards and Commission guidance
• Editable DOCX with a placeholder legend, so you enter your details once
