ATI Capstone Week 9 Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client with a pheochromocytoma. Which assessment finding will the nurse expect for this client?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Elevated blood pressure. Pheochromocytoma is a tumor of the adrenal gland that secretes excessive catecholamines, leading to hypertension. The excess release of epinephrine and norepinephrine causes vasoconstriction, resulting in increased blood pressure. This is a hallmark sign of pheochromocytoma.

A: Decreased pulse is not typically associated with pheochromocytoma due to the stimulatory effect of catecholamines on the heart.
C: Cold intolerance is not a common manifestation of pheochromocytoma and is more indicative of thyroid dysfunction.
D: Decreased respiratory rate is not a common finding in pheochromocytoma, as it does not directly affect respiratory function.
