I'm auditing a practice where they use "exam check sheets" and there is an line item "Normal pulse and respiration". Is a check mark in the "yes" column sufficient to count towards vitals or would you insist on values being recorded?
I would expect some values. Normal does not mean anything when it comes to pulse/respiration. There is a normal area that is expected but what constitutes normal.
