A client has a blood pressure of 124/78 mmHg and a triglyceride level of 160 mg/dL. Based on these results, the nurse knows that the client has:
 
  1. an optimal blood pressure and triglyceride level.
  2. a prehypertensive blood pressure and an optimal triglyceride level.
  3. a prehypertensive blood pressure and a borderline high triglyceride level.
  4. stage I hypertension and a high triglyceride level.

Question 2

A client is demonstrating a crescendo-decrescendo pattern of breathing with periods of apnea. The nurse would document this breathing pattern as being:
 
  1. Cheyne-Stokes.

Answer to Question 1

3
Prehypertensive blood pressure ranges systolically from 120 to 139 mmHg or diastolically from 80 to 90 mmHg. Stage I hypertension is systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 140 to 159 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of 90 to 99 mmHg. Optimal triglyceride levels are less than 150 mg/dL. Triglyceride levels from 150 to 199 mg/dL are considered borderline high. Triglyceride levels at 200 to 499 mg/dL are considered high.

Answer to Question 2

1
Cheyne-Stokes breathing is a pattern of crescendo-decrescendo breathing. Apnea is the absence of breathing. Bradypnea is a breathing rate of less than 12 respirations per minute. Kussmaul breathing is rapid and deep and often associated with diabetic ketoacidosis.
