Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a patient with activity intolerance for possible orthostatic hypotension. Which finding will help confirm orthostatic hypotension?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Orthostatic hypotension is defined as a drop in systolic blood pressure of 20 mmHg or more, or a drop in diastolic blood pressure of 10 mmHg or more within 3 minutes of standing. In this scenario, the patient's blood pressure drops from 130/60 sitting to 110/60 standing, meeting the criteria for orthostatic hypotension.
A: The drop in blood pressure from sitting to standing is not significant enough to confirm orthostatic hypotension.
C: The drop in blood pressure from sitting to standing is not significant enough to confirm orthostatic hypotension.
D: The blood pressure actually increases upon standing, which does not align with orthostatic hypotension criteria.
