Question: 1 of 38Rn Hesi Mental Health Proctored Exam
The nurse is developing a plan of care for an older client with hypertension who reports chest pain on exertion. Which outcome should the nurse include in the plan of care for this client?
Explanation
Choice A rationale: Weekly monitoring of blood pressure and symptoms is important but does not address the specific issue of chest pain on exertion. Choice B rationale: Encouraging daily walking is generally a good recommendation for overall health but does not address the immediate concern of chest pain. Choice C rationale: Taking up to 4 nitroglycerine tablets for chest pain may provide temporary relief, but this should be done under the guidance of a healthcare provider and is not a long-term outcome. Choice D rationale: Recording episodes of angina and self-management for one week is a specific and appropriate outcome to monitor the client's chest pain and response to interventions.
