Normal pulse rate is what range?

• A. 50-70
• B. 60-100
• C. 70-110
• D. 40-90

Answer: (B)

Pulse rate is the number of heartbeats per minute. For adults at rest, a normal pulse typically ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. This span is considered normal for most people, though fit athletes may have resting rates below 60 and still be healthy, while rates above 100 can indicate tachycardia or other concerns. The other ranges either include numbers that are too low or too high to be the standard resting range, so 60-100 is the best match. When measuring, use a quiet rest period at the radial pulse, counting for 30 seconds and multiplying by 2 if the rhythm is regular.
