Which blood pressure range is considered normal for diastolic pressure?

  1. 50-80 mm Hg

  2. 60-79 mm Hg

  3. 70-90 mm Hg

  4. 80-100 mm Hg

The correct answer is: 60-79 mm Hg

The normal range for diastolic blood pressure is typically considered to be between 60-79 mm Hg. Diastolic blood pressure represents the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats. This range is considered normal for healthy adults. Options A, C, and D are not within the typical range for normal diastolic blood pressure values. Option A (50-80 mm Hg) has a lower limit that is below the typical range, while Option C (70-90 mm Hg) and Option D (80-100 mm Hg) have upper limits that exceed the typical range for diastolic blood pressure.
