Upon hearing a blood pressure reading of 146/96 mm Hg, a 58-year-old client asks whether medication will be necessary. Which would be the best response by the nurse? “It’s fortunate that you came into the clinic today and this was caught this during your routine examination.” “You will need to have your blood pressure reassessed before a diagnosis can be made.” “We will need to reevaluate the blood pressure because your age places you at a high risk for hypertension.” “You have no need to worry. Your blood pressure is probably elevated because you are in the health care provider’s office.”
