What is considered bradycardic for an adult?

Heart rate less than 50
Heart rate less than 60
Heart rate more than 80
Heart rate between 60-100

The correct answer is: Heart rate less than 60

A heart rate less than 60 is considered bradycardic for an adult because it falls outside the normal range of 60-100 beats per minute. Option A is too low and would indicate severe bradycardia, while options C and D are too high and would fall within the normal range or even indicate tachycardia. It's important to note that the normal heart rate range can vary slightly depending on a person's age, health, and activity level. However, a heart rate consistently below 60 would be considered abnormal and should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
