1. Which of the following is considered a normal heart rate range for a

pediatric patient?

A. 40-60 beats per minute

B. 60-100 beats per minute

C. 100-160 beats per minute

D. 160-200 beats per minute

Answer: C. 100-160 beats per minute

Rationale: The normal heart rate range for pediatric patients is higher than

that of adults, with infants having a higher heart rate than older children.

A heart rate of 100-160 beats per minute is considered normal for

pediatric patients.

2. When assessing a pediatric patient's respiratory rate, which of the

following is true?

A. Respiratory rate should be counted for 30 seconds and then multiplied

by 2

B. Respiratory rate should be counted for 1 minute

C. Respiratory rate should be counted only when the patient is sleeping

D. Respiratory rate is not a vital sign in pediatric patients

Answer: A. Respiratory rate should be counted for 30 seconds and then

multiplied by 2

Rationale: When assessing a pediatric patient's respiratory rate, it is

important to count the rate for 30 seconds and then multiply by 2 to get

the number of breaths per minute.

3. What is the normal oxygen saturation range for a pediatric patient?

A. 80-85%

B. 85-90%

C. 90-95%

D. 95-100%
