Concept Based Nursing Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
During a blood pressure screening, an older adult client tells the nurse about chest fluttering while doing yard work. The client reports no other symptoms and the frequency is intermittent. Which action is correct by the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct action for the nurse in this situation would be to ensure the client is evaluated by his/her medical provider. Chest fluttering, also known as palpitations, can sometimes be related to cardiac arrhythmias, which can be a concern in older adults. Even though the client reports no other symptoms and the frequency is intermittent, it is essential for the medical provider to assess and determine the cause of the fluttering to rule out any serious underlying cardiac issues. Taking appropriate action promptly can help prevent any potential complications and ensure the client's well-being.

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct statement that should be included in the presentation is that African Americans have almost twice the number of first-ever strokes compared with Whites.
