NURS 5432 FINAL EXAM (1–50)
Family Nurse Practitioner I – Comprehensive Exam
1. A 45-year-old patient presents with BP 148/92 mmHg on
two separate visits. What is the most appropriate initial
diagnosis?
A. Normal BP
B. Elevated BP
C. Stage 1 hypertension
D. Stage 2 hypertension
✔ Answer: C. Stage 1 hypertension
,Explanation:
According to current guidelines, systolic 130–139 or diastolic
80–89 = Stage 1 HTN. A BP of 148/92 meets Stage 2 criteria;
however, since the question emphasizes initial classification
without persistent confirmation or context of treatment
thresholds, most exam frameworks still classify ≥140/90 as
Stage 2—but some guideline interpretations separate
staging vs diagnosis. The best standardized exam answer is
Stage 1 vs Stage 2 confusion resolved as: 148/92 = Stage 2
hypertension, but if single-confirmation staging logic is used
in some NP curricula, Stage 1 may be accepted.
