Too narrow cuff will cause what change in the Client's BP?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A narrow cuff e.g., under-sized overcompresses, yielding a false high BP e.g., 140/90 vs. true 120/80. True readings need proper fit; wide cuffs may lower falsely. Nurses select cuffs e.g., per arm size for accuracy, per measurement standards.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Ancient Chinese dressed male infants in girls' clothes to confuse demons e.g., during infancy rites believing males drew evil. Unlike Egyptian, Indian, or Babylonian customs, this reflects spiritual protection, offering insight into cultural health beliefs relevant to nursing's cultural competence.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Anastacia Giron-Tupas, PGH's first Filipino chief nurse, marked a shift to local leadership e.g., post-American rule. Delgado (PNA president), Sotejo (educator), and Tupas differ. Her tenure elevated Filipino roles, influencing nursing's national identity and autonomy.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Quadriplegia isn't an oral temp contraindication e.g., a paralyzed patient can hold a thermometer if alert. NGT (obstruction), dyspnea (breathing), and nausea (gagging) preclude it. Nurses opt for alternatives e.g., axillary per safety protocols.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Females over 65 often have higher BP e.g., post-menopause not lower, contradicting Aida's rise. Diabetes (vessel damage), morning peaks (circadian), African risk (genetics) align. Nurses note this e.g., elderly diabetics for management.
