  Task 5 InterpretingData Obtained from Monitoring Routine Variations in the Functioning of Healthy Body Systems. P6, M3 Learning objective: 4 Be able to interpret data obtained from monitoring routine activities with reference to the functioning of healthy body systems. Hand in date 16th March
• 2.
  Learning Intention  Tosecure knowledge by explaining the methods used to measure body systems; heart rate, breathing rate and temperature  To further develop knowledge by taking measurements using safe practice  To show excellence by evaluating the factors that can affect the reliability of the data you obtain and present in an appropriate manner explaining which homeostatic mechanisms are involved.
• 3.
  Scenario: A local universityis opening a new fitness suite and would like your assistance in producing some of the introductory course literature. The introductory course outlines how to monitor body systems. You are required to produce a fact booklet for first year nursing students.

  Task ref. Evidencesubmitted Page numbers or description P6 follow guidelines to interpret collected data for heart rate, breathing rate and temperature before and after a standard period of exercise. M3 present data collected before and after a standard period of exercise with reference to validity. Additional comments to the Assessor:

  Interpreting Data Obtainedfrom Monitoring Routine Variations in the Functioning of Healthy Body Systems. You will be required to obtain data by measuring the temperature, pulse and breathing rates of a healthy individual at rest and at intervals during recovery from a standard exercise test.  You will need to know;  How to take the measurements using safe practice.  The range of normal values  The factors that affect the reliability of the data you obtain.  You will need to interpret and analyse your data, draw graphs and then demonstrate how homeostatic mechanisms respond to exercise.   Activity:  Measure body temperature, heart and breathing rate before and after a standard period of exercise (e.g. Harvard step test), interpret the data and comment on its validity.  Analyse the data obtained to show how homeostatic mechanisms control the internal environment during exercise. Include graphs and tables.

  Measurement At restAfter activity After 1 minute interval After 2 minutes After 3 minutes Pulse Breathing Blood pressure Temperature Measurements 1. Work with a partner to take and record measurements in the table below. 2. Create a graph to illustrate the above data. Remember to create a key and use a suitable scale Stretch What is the relationship between pulse, breathing rate, blood pressure and temperature?
