A. 200/92. This format does not include the muffling point (Phase IV), which is important in some clinical settings, such as in critically ill patients or those with vascular diseases.
B. 100/200/92. This order is incorrect because the systolic pressure should always be listed first, followed by the diastolic components.
C. 200/100. This format omits the point at which sounds completely disappear (Phase V), which is the true diastolic pressure in most cases. However, in some individuals, particularly those with conditions like aortic regurgitation, the muffling point may be recorded as an additional reading.
D. 200/100/92. The correct way to document blood pressure when Korotkoff sounds muffle before disappearing is to include all three values: the systolic pressure (Phase I), the point of muffling (Phase IV), and the diastolic pressure (Phase V). This ensures a complete and accurate blood pressure recording.

A. Wait 30 minutes and take an oral temperature. Waiting 30 minutes ensures an accurate reading, as consuming hot or cold foods or drinks can alter oral temperature results.
B. Advise the patient to drink a glass of cold water. Drinking cold water could artificially lower the oral temperature, leading to an inaccurate measurement.
C. Take a rectal temperature. A rectal temperature is not necessary in this situation unless a core temperature is required for clinical reasons.
D. Take the oral temperature as planned. Taking the oral temperature immediately after hot soup can result in a falsely elevated reading, making it unreliable.
