Final answer:

The normal pulse rate for children over the age of 7 is not explicitly provided but is expected to be less than 120 bpm of a newborn and not yet as low as the typical adult range of 60-100 bpm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The normal pulse rate for children over the age of 7 will be lower than that of an infant but will gradually decrease into young adulthood. Although it's not explicitly stated for ages 7-10 in the provided information, we can infer from the given data that the normal pulse rate for this age group would be less than that of a newborn, which can be around 120 beats per minute (bpm), and higher than that of young adults, which falls within 60-100 bpm.

By adolescence, the heart rate aligns closer to adult ranges. Since children over the age of 7 are approaching adolescence, their pulse rate is likely somewhere between that of younger children and adults. It's understood that HR varies with exercise and fitness levels, as well as age, and for most patients remains asymptomatic as long as the HR remains above 50 bpm.
