Final answer:
Option D (99.6 orally, 71-14) indicates a body temperature slightly above the normal range, with the heart and breathing rates within normal limits. The other options fall within the normal ranges for body temperature, heart rate, and breathing rate.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks which set of vital signs are outside the normal range. Based on established health standards, the normal range for body temperature is around 97.7 to 99.5 °F, heart rate should be 60-100 beats per minute, and breathing rate should be 12-18 breaths per minute. Looking at the options:
A) 98.4 orally, 62-12: This is within normal body temperature range and the heart rate is normal, but the breathing rate of 12 is at the lower edge of normal.
B) 97.8 orally, 76-18: Both temperature and heart rate are within normal ranges, and the breathing rate is normal.
C) 98.2 orally, 88-10: Temperate and heart rate are normal, but a breathing rate of 10 is below the normal range.
D) 99.6 orally, 71-14: The temperature is slightly above the normal range and also the heart and breathing rates are within normal range.
Option D indicates a temperature that is marginally higher than the normal range.
