During a routine checkup, the nurse takes Rohan's vitals.

Question

She notes each reading on his chart and then writes
'homeostasis.' What does this mean for Rohan?
(1 point)
O His blood pressure is elevated but everything else is fine.
O His vital signs are completely normal.
• His pulse and blood pressure are abnormal.
• His vital signs show that his body is distressed.

Answer 1

The term "homeostasis" refers to the state of stable internal conditions maintained by living organisms, which includes the balance of various physiological parameters like temperature, pH, hydration, blood pressure, and pulse. If the nurse writes "homeostasis" after taking Rohan's vitals, it indicates that his vital signs are within normal ranges and his body is functioning properly.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

His vital signs are completely normal.
