Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for an older adult client who has dementia and wanders at night. Which of the following interventions should the nurse take?

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reviewing blood pressure classifications with a client who has been newly diagnosed with hypertension. Which of the following should the nurse include as an example of stage 1 hypertension?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C (154/96 mm Hg) for stage 1 hypertension. Stage 1 hypertension is defined as systolic blood pressure between 130-139 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure between 80-89 mm Hg. In this case, the client's blood pressure of 154/96 mm Hg falls within the range for stage 1 hypertension.
Choices A (108/60 mm Hg), B (128/88 mm Hg), and D (164/104 mm Hg) do not fall within the criteria for stage 1 hypertension.
Choice A is actually considered hypotensive, while choices B and D are not within the defined range for stage 1 hypertension.
