Vital signs

Today, April 24 2024 for the first time in my life,

I observed vital signs out of normal range: 158/90 mmHg, SpO2 83%.

So, I checked once more the normal ranges of vital signs.

Temperature97.6-99.6 °F
Pulse60-100 beats per minute
Respiration12-20 breaths per minute
Blood Pressure120/80 mmHg; Systolic 90-140, diastolic 60-90
Oxygen level95% to 100%
Normal Ranges for Adult Vital Signs (from CNA book)

I also checked blood oxygen levels by age using a pulse oximetry chart
