Which term corresponds to a normal systolic blood pressure range of 100-140 mmHg in adults?

• A. Normal Systolic BP Adult
• B. Blood Pressure
• C. Hypotension
• D. Reassessment

Answer: (A)

Understanding how blood pressure values are labeled helps you pick the right term. Systolic blood pressure is the pressure in the arteries when the heart contracts. In this context, a normal systolic range for adults is described with the term “Normal Systolic BP Adult,” which corresponds to 100–140 mmHg. This label specifically identifies the systolic component within a normal range, distinguishing it from the overall blood pressure reading that combines both systolic and diastolic values. Hypotension refers to abnormally low pressure, typically below the normal range, while reassessment is simply the act of checking again and isn't a label for a BP range.
