Question

multiple choice question
a patient with a resting blood pressure reading of 120/80 has which of the following?

• hypertension
• hypotension
• normal bp

Explanation:

In medicine and health (a subfield of Natural Science), a resting blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg is considered normal. Hypertension is high blood pressure (typically above 130/80 or 140/90), and hypotension is low blood pressure (usually below 90/60). So the patient with 120/80 has normal BP.

Answer:

Normal BP
