Several factors can influence changes in physiological measurements, such as illness. There are other things that can also influence changes such as stress and the environment.
There are quite a few medications that require physiological measurements. Any medication required for a mental illness for example requires these measurements to be taken.

illness, stress, environment! that's as far as i have got with my nvq question i would also love some help other factors could include physical activity, kind of foods and drinks taken, weight loss, anxiety. physical activity could be where a patient rushes in to the clinic will affect readings if blood pressure is taken before patient settles down. hope this helps FTA.

The physiological symptoms and possible medical reasons need to be thoroughly assessed before looking at psychological
Physiological reserve refers to the capacity of an organ or system to respond to increased demands or stress beyond its usual baseline function. It indicates the margin of functional ability that can be called upon in times of need, such as during illness, injury, or physical exertion. A higher physiological reserve often correlates with better health outcomes, as it allows individuals to cope with challenges more effectively. Factors such as age, fitness level, and overall health can influence an individual's physiological reserve.
An example of a physiological stressor is intense physical exercise, which can elevate heart rate, increase oxygen demand, and trigger the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. Other examples include illness, injury, or extreme temperatures, which can challenge the body's homeostasis and require adaptive responses to maintain balance. These stressors can lead to both short-term and long-term physiological changes in the body.
The four stages of acute illness typically include the prodromal stage, where initial symptoms appear; the acute stage, characterized by the peak of symptoms and the body's response; the recovery stage, during which symptoms begin to subside and the patient gradually regains health; and finally, the resolution stage, where the illness has resolved, and the individual returns to baseline health or experiences complications. Each stage involves distinct physiological and psychological changes that affect the patient's experience and management of the illness.
