Question 1 of 5
Which client would the nurse identify as being most at risk for experiencing a cerebrovascular accident (CVA)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Risk factors for CVA include advanced age, hypertension, diabetes, and ethnicity, with African Americans and Asians at higher risk. An 84-year-old Japanese female is at the highest risk due to her age and potential for comorbidities like hypertension, which is prevalent in older populations. A 55-year-old African American male is also at risk, but age is a stronger factor. Pregnancy increases risk but is less significant compared to advanced age.
