How many minute/s is/are allowed to pass before making a re-reading after the first one?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: One minute between BP readings e.g., arm reperfusion ensures accuracy, per AHA. Longer waits (5-30 min) are for activity rest, not re-reads. Nurses time this e.g., quick repeat for reliable trends, standard in sequential monitoring.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: St. Clare founded the Poor Clares in 1212, the second Franciscan order, emphasizing poverty and service e.g., sick care. Unlike Catherine (lamp lady), Anne (Mary's mother), or Elizabeth (patron saint), Clare's work tied spiritual devotion to nursing's early roots, influencing its altruistic tradition.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Subjective data is patient-reported e.g., anxiety as a felt emotion. Dizziness and chest pain can be measured (vitals), blue nails observed (objective). Nurses probe subjective feelings e.g., 'how anxious?' for comprehensive care, per assessment distinctions.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Axillary temp needs 7 minutes e.g., skin contact for accuracy, longer than oral (3) or rectal (1-2) due to lower heat. Shorter under-reads; 10 excessive. Nurses time this e.g., watch per protocol, ensuring reliability.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Leg BP (popliteal) is 20-40 mmHg higher e.g., 160/80 is low, not normal vs. arm (120/80). Meniscus, slow deflation, Korotkoff are correct. Nurses adjust e.g., site for interpretation, per technique.
