Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about orthostatic hypotension. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Orthostatic hypotension increases a client's risk of a fall. When a person experiences orthostatic hypotension, their blood pressure drops when moving from lying down to standing up, leading to dizziness and potential falls. This is a common complication in the elderly and can result in serious injuries.


Choice B is incorrect because orthostatic hypotension is typically indicated by a decrease in systolic blood pressure of at least 20 mm Hg, not 10 mm Hg.
Choice C is incorrect as orthostatic hypotension does not directly increase the risk of a pulmonary embolism.
Choice D is incorrect because orthostatic hypotension is primarily indicated by a decrease in systolic blood pressure, not diastolic.
