Which areas should the nurse teach a dark-skinned client to inspect regularly for skin cancer like melanoma?

120/77 mmHg. This is because this blood pressure reading is within the normal range of less than 120/80 mmHg. Hypertension is defined as a blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg or higher.

Choice A is wrong because 84/50 mmHg is too low and may indicate hypotension, which can cause dizziness, fainting, or shock.

Choice C is wrong because 148/88 mmHg is above the normal range and indicates prehypertension, which is a risk factor for developing hypertension and cardiovascular disease.

Choice D is wrong because 160/90 mmHg is above the normal range and indicates stage 1 hypertension, which requires treatment with lifestyle changes and medication.

“I feel uncomfortable praying with you, but I will find someone who won’t feel that way.” This statement by the nurse would best meet the client’s spiritual needs because it acknowledges the nurse’s own boundaries and feelings while also respecting the client’s request and finding a way to fulfill it.

Some possible explanations for why the other choices are wrong are:

Choice A is wrong because it does not address the client’s request to pray together and it assumes that the client wants a Bible without asking.

Choice B is wrong because it implies that the nurse does not want to pray with the client and that the client’s visitors would be more suitable for this task, which could make the client feel rejected or unsupported.

Choice C is wrong because it directly rejects the client’s request and discloses the nurse’s personal beliefs, which could create a sense of disconnection or conflict between the nurse and the client.
