Which of the following vital signs should the nurse assistant report to the nurse?
  1. Blood pressure of 120/73 mmHg in a healthy man.
  2. Pulse of 110 beats/minute on awakening in the morning.
  3. Blood pressure of 110/68 mmHg in a healthy woman.
  4. Pulse of 120 beats/minute after 30 minutes of aerobic exercise.
Explanation
Answer: B - The normal range for a pulse is 60 to 100 beats/minute and, in the morning, the rate is at its lowest. Blood pressures of 120/72 mmHg for a healthy man and 110/68 mmHg for a healthy woman are normal. Aerobic exercise increases the heart rate over the normal range of 60 to 100 beats/minute.
