Question 2
Which of the following statements made by a nurse reflects the best understanding of the health value of conducting a blood pressure (BP) screening at a senior citizens center's health fair?
1. This is a high risk group, so assessing BP allows us to identify clients at risk and send them for treatment.
2. Older adults enjoy health fairs, so it's a good place to screen substantial numbers of clients for hypertension.
3. Hypertension doesn't present symptoms early on, so screening elder adults is a wonderful preventive measure.
