Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing for paradoxical blood pressure on a client who has constrictive pericarditis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A decrease in systolic pressure by more than 10 mm Hg during inspiration is a classic sign of paradoxical blood pressure, which can occur in conditions such as constrictive pericarditis. This occurs because the pressure within the pericardium prevents the heart from expanding fully during inspiration, leading to a drop in systolic blood pressure.
