HESI RN EXIT PROCTORED EXAM
The nurse is developing a plan of care for a client who reports chest pain on exertion and who is newly diagnosed with cardiovascular disease. Which outcome should the nurse include in the plan of care for this client?
Explanation & Rationale
A. A goal of maintaining a blood pressure less than 140/80 mm Hg aligns with recommended targets for clients with cardiovascular disease to reduce the risk of complications. B. While physical activity is beneficial, stating that the nurse will encourage the client to walk is not a measurable client-centered outcome. A better outcome would focus on the client’s actions. C. Monitoring blood glucose is more relevant for diabetes management rather than a primary outcome for cardiovascular disease. D. A target of less than 160/90 mm Hg is too high and does not align with standard guidelines for blood pressure control in cardiovascular disease.
