1.Describe faster/slower than normal heart and respiratory rates? correct answer: The normal pulse rates (at rest) are as follows: (1) Adults: 60-100 beats/min. (2) Children (1-6 years): 70-120 beats/min. (3) Infants: (6-12 months): 80-140 beats/min. (4) Infants: (0-5 months): 90-140 beats/min. b. Pulse rates in an adult patient that exceed 100 beats/min are described as tachycardia. c. Pulse rates less than 60 beats/min are described as bradycardia. a. Adults: 12-20 breaths/min. b....
