What is the normal range for adult body temperature in Fahrenheit?

What is  97.7 - 100.4

  • Rationale: The normal body temperature range for adults is typically between 97.7 - 100.4 F, indicating a healthy state.
100

What is the normal range for adult heart rate (beats per minute)?

  • What is 50 to 95 bpm?
  • Rationale: A normal adult heart rate ranges from 50 to 95 beats per minute, indicating a healthy cardiovascular system.
100

What is the normal range for adult respiratory rate (breaths per minute)?

  • What is 16 to 25 breaths per minute?
  • Rationale: The normal respiratory rate for adults is between 16 and 25 breaths per minute, indicating healthy lung function.
100

What is the normal range for adult blood pressure (systolic/diastolic)?

  • What is 90/60 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg?
  • Rationale: Normal blood pressure for adults typically ranges from 90/60 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg, indicating healthy cardiovascular function.
100

What is the normal range for oxygen saturation in the blood (percentage)?

  •  What is 95% to 100%?
  • Rationale: Normal oxygen saturation levels range from 95% to 100%, indicating adequate oxygenation of the blood.
200

What term describes a body temperature above the normal range?

  • What is fever?
  • Rationale: Fever is defined as a body temperature above the normal range, often indicating infection or illness.
200

What term describes a heart rate below 60 beats per minute?

  • What is bradycardia?
  • Rationale: Bradycardia is defined as a heart rate below 60 beats per minute, which can indicate an underlying health issue.
200

What term describes a respiratory rate below 12 breaths per minute?

  • What is bradypnea?
  • Rationale: Bradypnea is defined as a respiratory rate below 12 breaths per minute, which can indicate respiratory depression or other health issues.
200

What term describes a blood pressure reading above 140/90 mmHg?

  • What is hypertension?
  • Rationale: Hypertension is defined as a blood pressure reading above 140/90 mmHg, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
200

What term describes an oxygen saturation level below 90%?

  • What is hypoxemia?
  • Rationale: Hypoxemia is defined as an oxygen saturation level below 90%, which can indicate respiratory or cardiovascular problems.
300

What term describes a body temperature below the normal range?

  • What is hypothermia?
  • Rationale: Hypothermia occurs when the body temperature drops below the normal range, which can be dangerous and requires immediate attention.
300

What term describes a heart rate above 100 beats per minute?

  • What is tachycardia?
  • Rationale: Tachycardia is defined as a heart rate above 100 beats per minute, often indicating stress, anxiety, or a medical condition.
300

What term describes a respiratory rate above 25 breaths per minute?

  • What is tachypnea?
  • Rationale: Tachypnea is defined as a respiratory rate above 25 breaths per minute, often indicating respiratory distress or other medical conditions.
300

What term describes a blood pressure reading below 90/60 mmHg?

  • What is hypotension?
  • Rationale: Hypotension is defined as a blood pressure reading below 90/60 mmHg, which can cause dizziness and fainting.
300

What device is commonly used to measure oxygen saturation?

  • What is a pulse oximeter?
  • Rationale: A pulse oximeter is a non-invasive device used to measure oxygen saturation levels in the blood.
400

What method is commonly used to measure body temperature in the ear?

  • What is tympanic temperature measurement?
  • Rationale: Tympanic temperature measurement involves using an ear thermometer to assess body temperature.
400

 What method is commonly used to measure the pulse at the wrist?

  • What is 2 or 3 fingers, but no thumb?
  • Rationale: Radial pulse measurement involves feeling the pulse at the wrist to assess heart rate and rhythm.
400

What method is commonly used to measure respiratory rate?

  • What is observation?
  • Rationale: Observation involves watching the patient's chest rise and fall to count the number of breaths per minute.
400

What method is commonly used to measure blood pressure?

  •  What is sphygmomanometer?
  • Rationale: Sphygmomanometer involves using a blood pressure cuff and gauge to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
400

What term describes the condition of having normal oxygen saturation levels?

  • What is normoxia?
  • Rationale: Normoxia refers to having normal oxygen saturation levels, indicating healthy respiratory function.
