Study Notes
Chem-8 and CBC Overview
- Chem-8 refers to a basic metabolic panel that assesses metabolic functions and includes tests for glucose, electrolytes, and kidney function.
Blood Pressure
- Normal blood pressure is defined as 120/80 mmHg.
- Hypertension is identified as high blood pressure, greater than 140/90 mmHg.
- Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is categorized as less than 100/70 mmHg.
Heart Rate
- A normal resting heart rate is around 60 beats per minute (bpm).
- Tachycardia refers to a rapid heart rate exceeding 100 bpm.
- Bradycardia is characterized by a heart rate of less than 60 bpm.
Body Temperature
- A normal or afebrile body temperature is approximately 98.6 F (37 C).
- A febrile temperature is defined as greater than 100 F (37.8 C).
