Correct Answer : A,B,C
A. Pulse of smooth contour with 2+ amplitude. A normal pulse should have a smooth upstroke and downstroke with a moderate (2+) amplitude, indicating adequate blood flow and cardiac function.
B. Heart rate of 62 beats/min. A normal resting heart rate for a healthy adult range from 60 to 100 beats per minute. A heart rate of 62 bpm is within this normal range.
C. S1 and S2 present with regular rhythm. The first (S1) and second (S2) heart sounds should be audible and regular, indicating normal closure of the heart valves and a steady cardiac rhythm.
D. Mild, pedal edema. Pedal edema is not a normal finding in a healthy adult and may indicate fluid retention or cardiovascular issues such as heart failure or venous insufficiency.
