Adolescents in school setting
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is performing risk assessments on adolescents in the school setting. Which teen should the nurse screen for hypertension?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: An African-American male. African-Americans have a higher prevalence of hypertension compared to other racial groups. The nurse should screen this population as they are at greater risk for developing hypertension. Screening individuals without this specific risk factor may not be as effective in identifying those at higher risk. Screening the other choices may not be as necessary as they do not have the same known increased risk for hypertension. It is important to focus screening efforts on populations with a higher likelihood of developing the condition to provide appropriate preventive care.
