ATI Nurs 112 Fundamentals of Nursing Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The patient's blood pressure is 152/92 but the primary health care provider does not diagnose the patient with hypertension. What is the rationale for this decision?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The rationale for this decision lies in the diagnostic criteria for hypertension.
To diagnose hypertension, blood pressure must be elevated during multiple assessments to rule out white-coat hypertension or transient elevations. A single high reading may not be indicative of sustained hypertension.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the standard diagnostic guidelines for hypertension. Stress or the need for consultation with a cardiologist are not primary factors in diagnosing hypertension, and the threshold for diagnosing hypertension is typically lower than 180/100.
