A nurse is collecting data from a client who has chronic kidney failure. An assistive personnel reports that the client has a blood pressure of 190/110 mm Hg. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

Choice A reason: Remeasuring confirms the 190/110 mm Hg reading, ensuring accuracy in kidney failure, where hypertension is common. It’s the first step before acting.Choice B reason: Administering medication without verification risks error; BP may be inaccurate. In kidney failure, precise BP guides therapy, so this waits.Choice C reason: Reporting to the charge nurse follows confirmation; unverified readings waste time. Accuracy in chronic kidney failure is critical before escalating.Choice D reason: Bed rest may help, but confirming BP first prioritizes data. Kidney failure needs validated hypertension readings to direct immediate care safely.
