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.

How to deal with extreme test anxiety? Some people do so well... I study and all but it always ends up the opposite way for me.
Lerok [7]

You need to learn to stop comparing yourself to others. Easier said than done, but, you need to realize that everyone is different. I'm still trying to work on this myself because I always see other classmates doing so well and getting high marks and it makes me feel down about myself. But, I have been working on reminding myself that I am different from them and I have my own journey. My classmates are not me and I don't need to be like them. I'm now focusing on myself rather than comparing myself to them. Focus on yourself more and stop worrying about other people. Try mindfulness meditation to help you calm down before and after the test. Try not to pressure yourself too much before the test. Again, easier said than done but it would really help. If it helps, try going to therapy.
