What is the pulse rate for a child aged 5-12 years?

60-90 bpm
70-110 bpm
80-120 bpm
90-130 bpm

The correct answer is: 70-110 bpm

The pulse rate for a child aged 5-12 years typically falls within the range of 70-110 beats per minute (bpm). This range reflects the normal resting heart rate for children in this age group, which differs from the pulse rates of infants and adolescents. Understanding this range is crucial for law enforcement and first responders when assessing the vital signs of children during emergencies or health assessments. Knowing the optimal pulse rate can help determine if a child's condition is stable or if there is a need for immediate medical intervention. The other ranges provided indicate pulse rates that are either too low or too high for this specific age group, which emphasizes the importance of using age-appropriate guidelines in medical assessments.
