UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
Average American Heart Rate - CORRECT ANSWER 60 - 100 beats per minute.
Systolic (Blood Pressure) - CORRECT ANSWER Measures the pressure in the arteries
when the heart beats. (when the heart muscle contracts)
Diastolic (Blood Pressure) - CORRECT ANSWER Measures the pressure in the
arteries between heartbeats. (when the heart muscle is resting between beats and refilling with
blood)
Normal (Blood Pressure) - CORRECT ANSWER Systolic: less than 120 and Diastolic:
less than 80
Pre-Hypertension (Blood Pressure) - CORRECT ANSWER Systolic: 120-139 or
Diastolic: 80-89
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 1 - CORRECT ANSWER Systolic: 140-159
or Diastolic: 90-99
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 2 - CORRECT ANSWER Systolic: 160 or
higher or Diastolic: 100 or higher
Hypertensive Crisis (Emergency care needed) - CORRECT ANSWER Systolic: higher
than 180 or Diastolic: higher than 110
