What is the normal range described for vital signs in the material?

• A. 60/40 to 90/60
• B. 70/50 to 100/70
• C. 90/60 to 120/80
• D. 110/70 to 140/90

Answer: (C)

Normal resting blood pressure for healthy adults is described as about 90/60 to 120/80. The first number (systolic) measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart contracts, while the second number (diastolic) measures the pressure when the heart relaxes between beats. This range is used as the standard reference in the material for what’s considered normal. Readings well below this can indicate hypotension, while readings approaching or exceeding the higher end can indicate hypertension. The other options fall outside this typical normal range, either being too low or including values that reflect elevated blood pressure, which is not considered normal.
