1. **Q:** What are the normal ranges for adult vital signs?
**A:** Temperature: 97.8°F - 99.1°F (36.5°C - 37.3°C);
Pulse: 60-100 bpm; Respirations: 12-20 breaths/min;
Blood Pressure: 90/60 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg.

full minute.
3. **Q:** What is the proper technique for measuring blood
pressure?
**A:** Position the patient with their arm at heart level,
use a cuff of appropriate size, place the cuff 1 inch above
the elbow, inflate the cuff to 20-30 mmHg above the
expected systolic pressure, and then slowly deflate while
listening with a stethoscope.
,### 2. **Patient Safety**
4. **Q:** What are the key principles of patient safety?
**A:** Follow hand hygiene, use personal protective
equipment (PPE), identify patients correctly, use safe

unconscious patient?
**A:** Oral care should be performed every 2 hours to
prevent oral infections and maintain oral hygiene.
### 4. **Infection Control**
10. **Q:** What is the difference between medical asepsis
and surgical asepsis?
**A:** Medical asepsis refers to practices that reduce
the number of microorganisms (e.g., hand washing), while
surgical asepsis involves techniques that eliminate all
microorganisms from an area (e.g., sterile field).
11. **Q:** When should you use gloves?
**A:** Gloves should be worn when there is a risk of
contact with bodily fluids, contaminated surfaces, or open
