When body temperature falls below 93.2 degrees Fahrenheit, the person is suffering from the extreme:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Hypothermia, is correct because a body temperature below 93.2°F indicates severe hypothermia, a life-threatening condition where the body loses heat faster than it produces it. Normal temperature is ~98.6°F; hypothermia begins below 95°F, and below 93.2°F is extreme, risking organ failure. Hyperthermia, is the opposite (elevated temperature). Orthopnea, is difficulty breathing when lying flat, unrelated to temperature. Dypsnea (likely misspelled dyspnea), is shortness of breath, a symptom not a condition here. Hypothermia triggers shivering, confusion, and slowed metabolism, and at 93.2°F, immediate warming is critical. Clinical definitions support B as the accurate term for this extreme low-temperature state.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A pulse of 48 (bradycardia) with normal BP suggests a cause like medications. Calcium channel blockers or digitalis slow heart rate, a common side effect. Fever increases pulse. Hemorrhage lowers BP, not seen here. COPD doesn't typically cause bradycardia. Choice D is correct, per pharmacology and nursing assessment principles.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: BP readings show systolic (top, ventricular contraction) and diastolic (bottom, relaxation) pressures , in mmHg. Oxygen saturation and pulse are separate. Diastolic over systolic reverses order. Millimeters and mercury is the unit, not the terms. Choice C is correct, per standard BP notation (e.g., 120/80 mmHg), a foundational nursing concept for documenting cardiac workload.
