Answer to Question 1

A
The measurements BP, 138/88; P, 68; R, 16 are within the expected limits for an older adult cli-ent. An adult's average blood pressure is 120/80 . The systolic pressure may increase with age, but the blood pressure should not exceed 140/90 . The range for an older adult's pulse is 60 to 100 beats per minute. The expected respiratory rate is 16 to 25 breaths per minute.
The values BP, 94/52; P, 68; R, 30 are not within the expected limits for a client of this age.
The values BP, 108/80; P, 112; R, 15 are not within the expected limits for a client of this age.
The values BP, 132/74; P, 90; R, 24 are not within the expected limits for a client of this age.
