What was the observed blood pressure in the vitals?

• A. 120/80 mm Hg
• B. 110/60 mm Hg
• C. 90/60 mm Hg
• D. 130/85 mm Hg

Answer: (B)

Interpreting vitals involves recognizing when blood pressure falls within the normal range, signaling stable perfusion. A reading of 110/60 mm Hg is comfortably within the normal adult range (roughly 100–120 systolic and 60–80 diastolic), which indicates adequate cardiac output and systemic resistance without signs of shock or hypertension. The other values are less representative of a stable vitals set: 120/80 is normal but slightly higher systolic; 90/60 can be a concern if accompanied by symptoms or in some patients; 130/85 suggests mild elevation. So, 110/60 mm Hg best reflects a normal, stable blood pressure.
