  2. To diagnose and treat diseases

  3. To provide medical advice

  4. To dispense medication


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Health monitors are primarily used to track and monitor vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels.

Which of the following is NOT a common vital sign monitored by health monitors?

  1. Heart rate

  2. Blood pressure

  3. Respiratory rate

  4. Body temperature


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Respiratory rate is not a common vital sign monitored by health monitors. Heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature are the most common vital signs monitored.

What type of sensor is commonly used in health monitors to measure heart rate?

  1. Photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor

  2. Electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor
