Correct The normal vital signs for a newborn are temperature 36.5 to 37.3 Celsius
(axillary), pulse rate of 120160 a minute, respiratory rate of 3060 a
minute, systolic B/P of 6595, and diastolic B/P of 3062 . A temperature
of 36.437 Celsius is normal for an older child. A pulse rate of 80125 is
normal for a 4-year-old child.
Incorrect A pulse rate of 80125 per minute and temperature of 36.437 C are both
too low for a well-newborn.
