When performing a cardiovascular assessment, what is normal capillary refill time?

Less than one second
One to two seconds
Greater than two seconds
Varied, based on breed

Explanation

Answer: B - When performing a cardiovascular assessment, normal capillary refill time is one to two seconds. Capillary refill time can be determined by pressing on the gums of the animal to see how quickly the gums regain normal color. If the color does not return to the gums within one to two seconds after pressure has been applied, this could be a sign of inadequate blood flow.
