Question

Adult values for: Normotensive Hypotensive Bradycardia Tachycardia Tachypnea

A. 120/80, <90, <60, >100, >20
B. 90/60, >140, >100, <60, <12
C. 110/70, <80, <50, >120, >24
D. 130/90, <100, <70, >110, >18

Answer 1

The adult values corresponding to normotensive, hypotensive, bradycardia, tachycardia, and tachypnea are a blood pressure less than
`120/80 mm Hg,` blood pressure less than
`90` systolic, heart rate below
`60`
`bpm`, heart rate above
`100 bpm` and respiratory rate above , respectively,
`20 breaths per minute` which makes option A the correct choice:
`120/80, < 90, < 60, > 100, > 20.`

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct adult values for normotensive (normal blood pressure), hypotensive (low blood pressure), bradycardia (slow heart rate), tachycardia (fast heart rate), and tachypnea (rapid breathing) can be difficult to match with the given options without considering the context. However, based on the information provided:

• Normotensive blood pressure is typically less than
  `120/80 mm Hg` .
• Hypotensive values are when blood pressure is less than
  `90` systolic.
• Bradycardia is when the heart rate is below
  `60 beats per minute (bpm)` .
• Tachycardia is when the heart rate is above
  `100 bpm` .
• Tachypnea is when the respiratory rate is more than
  `20 breaths per minute` .

Considering these adult values, the correct option is:

• Normotensive:
  `120/80 mm Hg`
• Hypotensive:
  `< 90 systolic mm Hg`
• Bradycardia:
  `< 60 bpm`
• Tachycardia:
  `> 100 bpm`
• Tachypnea:
  `> 20 breaths per minute`

Therefore, the accurate choice that matches these criteria is A.
`120/80, < 90, < 60, > 100, > 20.`
