    This document defines normal and abnormal ranges for vital signs measurements including temperature, pulse, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. It explains that a fever results from infection or inflammation while hyperthermia is an abnormally high core body temperature due to failed thermoregulation. Bradycardia is a slow pulse while tachycardia is a fast pulse. Respiratory rates below 12 or above 20 are abnormal. Blood pressure readings are provided for hypotension, pre-hypertension, stages 1 and 2 of hypertension, and hypertensive emergency.
