These measurements are within the expected limits for an older client. An adult's average blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg. The systolic pressure may increase with age, but the blood pressure should not exceed 140/90 mm Hg. The range for an adult's pulse is 60-100 beats/min. The ex-pected respiratory rate is 16-25 breaths/min. BP = 104/52 mm Hg, P = 68 beats/min, R = 30 breaths/min; BP = 108/80 mm Hg, P = 112 beats/min, R = 15 breaths/min; and BP = 132/74 mm Hg, P = 90 beats/min, R = 24 breaths/min are not within the expected limits for a client of this age.
