[All OMSB_OEN Questions]

A nurse found two different readings while measuring a blood pressure for a client at primary health care.

According to the guideline of National Non-communicable Disease (NCD) screening program, which of the following is the BEST nurse's action?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

In the termination phase of a home visit, the appropriate nursing action is to review important teaching topics discussed during the visit. This ensures that the family understands the care instructions and can ask any final questions. Validating the health history and documenting the care provided are important but are typically part of the initial or ongoing phases of the visit. Determining readiness for future visits is also important but is secondary to ensuring the family understands the teaching provided.

This question is a real blood pressure boiler! I bet the exam writers had a field day coming up with these options.

I was going to say A, but then I remembered that the average of two different readings is probably not the most accurate representation.

Asking the patient to lay down and checking both arms is a good idea, but it's not the 'BEST' action according to the guidelines.

I'm not sure why the guidelines would specify to record the highest reading. That doesn't seem very practical or helpful.
