NSG 3100 EXAM 1
1. The nurse is measuring blood pressures as part of a
community health fair.
Which blood pressure reading would cause the nurse to refer the
patient for follow-up regarding hypertension?
a. 108/70
b. 116/78
c. 128/80
d. 138/88
Correct Answer d
Expert Rationale A blood pressure reading of 138/88 mm Hg falls into
the Stage 1 Hypertension category per the latest ACC/AHA guidelines,
necessitating follow-up to prevent complications. While 128/80 is elevated,
it does not yet meet criteria for hypertension referral. Early identification
and education about lifestyle modifications are crucial at this stage.
