, ESTUDYR
A. BP 154/92
B. Serum cholesterol 195 mg/dl
C. Random blood glucose level of 105D. Complaints of pressure and tightness in chest
while playing softball
Answer: D Rationale: While the population has a complaint of pressure and tightness while
playing, it could be a sign of CAD. The blood pressure value is in the normal range, and the
fasting blood glucose is normal. Serum cholesterol level of 195 is also within the normal
range. Therefore, the nurse should be looking for CAD.

F. The physical assessment

given.
