What are vital signs?
Vital signs are measurements of body functions, including temperature, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure.
Normal adult temperature range
The normal adult body temperature range is typically between 97°F and 100°F.
Pulse rate normal range
The normal resting pulse rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute.
Respiratory rate definition
Respiratory rate refers to the number of breaths taken per minute, normal for adults is 12-20.
Normal blood pressure range
Normal blood pressure is typically considered to be around 120/80 mmHg.
True or false: Hypotension is a pulse rate above 100 bpm.
False, because hypotension refers to low blood pressure, not pulse rate.
Difference between tachycardia and bradycardia
Tachycardia is a fast heart rate over 100 bpm; bradycardia is a slow heart rate under 60 bpm.
Fill in the blank: Normal adult respiratory rate is ___ breaths per minute.
12 to 20 breaths.
What is a normal temperature for a child?
A normal temperature range for children is usually about 97°F to 100.4°F.
Question: What is the normal range for blood pressure in adolescents?
