What is the expected pulse rate range for a child who is 1 to 2 years of age?

90-110/min
100-120/min
120-140/min
110-130/min

The correct answer is: 120-140/min

For children aged 1 to 2 years, the expected pulse rate typically ranges from 120 to 140 beats per minute. This range is higher than that of older children and adults, reflecting the generally faster heart rates seen in younger populations due to their smaller body size and higher metabolic rates. In this age group, a resting heart rate can fluctuate, but it generally remains within the 120-140 range, accommodating variations between individuals and their activity levels at any given moment. Understanding this range is important for health assessments, as deviations from the expected pulse rates can indicate underlying health issues or the need for further evaluation.
