Answer:

The normal range for a 6-month-old infant's pulse rate is 100 to 160 bpm. This means that the baby is having a heart rate lower than the normal range.  

This can be caused by many different things and the nurse should ask the parent to bring their baby back if the pulse stays below 100 bpm for more than 5 minutes.

In case of bradycardia and the baby should be taken to the nearest emergency room immediately and informed to the doctor.

Explanation:

Bradycardia is a condition in which the heart beats below 90 bpm at 6 months old. It is normal for infants to have bradycardia because their heart rate slows down as they sleep.

But persistent bradycardia might occur due to hypoxia or cardiac problems. The baby might treat promptly.
