Nurses use normal ranges as benchmarks to monitor and assess patients' health. For example:
Vital Signs: Nurses routinely measure and record vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate to ensure they fall within normal ranges. Lab Results: Nurses interpret lab results to determine if they are within normal ranges, which helps in diagnosing conditions and monitoring treatment efficacy. Patient Education: Nurses educate patients about what their normal ranges should be and how to maintain them through lifestyle changes.
