NR 509 WEEK 4 Midterm EXAM.LATEST UPDATE 1. A 25-year-old woman is in her fifth month of pregnancy has a blood pressure of 100/70 mmHg.

ANS: Peripheral blood vessels growing more rigid with age, producing a rise in systolic blood pressure Peripheral blood vessels grow more rigid with age, resulting in a rise in systolic blood pressure. Aging produces progressive enlargement of the intramuscular calf veins, not atrophy. The other options are not correct ANS: early clubbing. The nurse should use the profile sign (viewing the finger from the side) to detect early clubbing. elevated pressure related to heart failure
