Answer»

Correct answer is (b) HEART RATE

The best I can explain: The most important physiological parameters monitored in the intensive care unit are the heart rate and the morphology or shape of the electrical waveform produced by the heart. This is done to observe the presence of arrhythmias or to detect changes in the heart rate that MIGHT be indicative of a SERIOUS CONDITION.
