Normal Vital Signs and Flow Rate

The document provides normal body temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure ranges for different age groups. Body temperature is typically highest in newborns and decreases with age. Pulse and respiratory rates are highest in newborns and infants, and decrease with age. Systolic blood pressure generally increases with age while diastolic pressure peaks in childhood before decreasing in adolescents and adults. Conversion tables provide drop factors to calculate intravenous drip rates for different fluid volumes and administration times in adults and children.
