Question 1 of 5
When auscultating the blood pressure of a 25-year-old, the nurse hears the phase I Korotkoff sounds begin at 200 mm Hg. At 100 mm Hg the Korotkoff sounds muffle. At 92 mm Hg the Korotkoff sounds disappear. How should the nurse record this patient's blood pressure?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct way to record this patient's blood pressure is as 200/100/92. The first number (200) represents the systolic pressure, which is the pressure at which the phase I Korotkoff sounds begin. The second number (100) represents the pressure at which the Korotkoff sounds muffle, indicating the diastolic pressure. The third number (92) represents the pressure at which the Korotkoff sounds disappear completely. This sequence accurately reflects the patient's blood pressure measurement process and ensures a comprehensive recording of the different phases of the Korotkoff sounds.
Choices A, B, and C do not provide a complete representation of the patient's blood pressure measurement and do not include all relevant values.
