Hear it. Describe it. Explain it.

Today's Lesson · Mon 10/12 · Wk8 · Vital signs: what they measure, then measure your own at five stations

Open today's complete lesson in Schoology (opens in a new tab)

Follow that lesson for today's required work and what to turn in. Use the downloads below when its steps ask you to analyze sounds.

Download the named heart, lung and blood-pressure sounds, then use the illustrated guide to connect what you hear to its source in the body and what a physician would investigate. These 25 synthesized teaching simulations have not been clinically validated. They support comparison practice and cannot establish a diagnosis.

Download all heart, lung and blood-pressure sounds (ZIP) Download the illustrated listening guide (PDF)

For vital-signs practice: begin with the complete staged blood-pressure measurement and the Korotkoff phase examples. Follow the listening guide alongside the sound; the complete example plays once.

Listen at a comfortable volume with headphones if available. Replay the same example before comparing it. Describe timing, pitch and sound quality before interpreting it. If the classroom stethoscope gives a faint or unclear sound, record "not clearly heard" and use the simulation for the assigned comparison. Do not invent an observation.

I am in Period 1-2, show me this day
Principles of Biomedical Technology (Principles of Biomedical Science) · Catch-up day 6 of 10

Mon, Oct 12, 2026

Two things today. First, here is everything that was due since your last catch-up day, so you can see what you still owe and turn it in. Then the rest of the period is Research Track time.

Step 1 · Am I caught up?

Check what you have already turned in. Anything left unchecked is what today is for.

  • Tue, Oct 6, 2026 · Write the report CERDaily Evidence Sheet, Day 18, every Part complete.
  • Wed, Oct 7, 2026 · Ethics of privacyWritten CER (3-5 sentences) arguing when patient privacy should yield to public-health needs, with a reference to HIPAA or mandatory reporting and a trust-based reasoning sentence.
  • Thu, Oct 8, 2026 · Vital signs practicalSimulated EMR record: all four vital signs (plus oxygen saturation if a pulse oximeter is out) with values, units, and the normal range noted; three heart-rate trials averaged; one sentence per vital sign on why it is measured at every visit; one limitation and one error source per technique.

Turn in: Any catch-up work that is still missing

Go to Schoology to turn this in.

Submit one PDF. Schoology attaches your name to your upload; on the page itself, write your period and code. Name the file: FirstName LastName - Assignment Title - YYYY-MM-DD.pdf.

If you cannot get in, see Mr. Mendoza. Do not skip the work.

Were you out for any of these? You get two school days for every day you were absent, so this deadline moves with you.

If you are behind, review this first

Those days fed these parts of your end-of-course WebXam (072110). Heaviest first.

  • Biotechnology Research and Experiments · 46% of the exam
Step 2 · Research Track

The sessions picked out for Principles of Biomedical Technology (Principles of Biomedical Science) all sit earlier in the track, so this day does not name a new one. Open the track and take the next session you have not done. The case runs the length of this course.

Open the Research Track

Research Track work is enrichment, the same track your lessons link to. It does not replace anything on the checklist above.
