Q1Which of the following blood pressure readings would be classified as Stage 1 hypertension in an adult patient?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: 138/88 mmHg
Stage 1 hypertension is defined as systolic blood pressure of 130-139 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure of 80-89 mmHg. The reading of 138/88 mmHg falls within this range.
Q2A respiratory rate of 36 breaths per minute would be considered normal in which of the following patients?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Newborn infant
In newborn infants, a respiratory rate of 30-60 breaths per minute is considered normal. For adults, normal respiratory rates range from 12-20 breaths per minute, while school-age children typically have rates of 18-30 breaths per minute. A rate of 36 would be abnormally high for an adult but within normal range for a newborn.

For proper blood pressure measurement, the patient should be seated with back supported and feet flat on the floor, arm supported at heart level, and should avoid talking during measurement. The cuff should be placed on bare skin, not over clothing.
Q4Which pulse characteristic is associated with aortic regurgitation?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Water-hammer (collapsing) pulse
A water-hammer or collapsing pulse (Corrigan's pulse) is characterized by a rapid upstroke and collapse, which is typically found in patients with aortic regurgitation. It represents the rapid ejection of blood followed by rapid runoff due to backward flow across the incompetent aortic valve.
