D
The cardinal vital signs are temperature, pulse, respiration, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation. A sixth vital sign, assessment of pain, is a standard of care in health care settings. Frequently pain and discomfort are the signs that lead a patient to seek health care. Therefore assessing a patient's pain helps a nurse understand the patient's clinical status and progress.
