<unk>  (also known as<unk> s) are a group of the four to six most crucial medical signs that indicate the status of the body’s<unk>  (life-sustaining) functions. These measurements are taken to help assess the general physical health of a person, give clues to possible diseases, and show progress toward recovery. The normal ranges for a person’s<unk>  vary with age, weight, gender, and overall health. There are four primary<unk> : body temperature, blood pressure, pulse (heart rate), and breathing rate (respiratory rate), often notated as BT, BP, HR, and RR. However, depending on the clinical setting, the<unk>  may include other measurements called the "fifth<unk>  or "sixth<unk> .<unk>  are recorded using the LOINC internationally accepted standard coding system. Early warning scores have been proposed that combine the individual values of<unk>  into a single score. This was done in recognition that deteriorating<unk>  often precede cardiac arrest and/or admission to the intensive care unit. Used appropriately, a rapid response team can assess and treat a deteriorating patient and prevent adverse outcomes.
