149) ANSWER
B) 100/60 to 130/76.
RATIONALE
An increase of 30 mmHg systolic and 15 mmHg
diastolic on two occasions is diagnostic for PIH. The blood pressures in each
of the other options do not meet the criteria for increase in either the
systolic or the diastolic blood pressure reading. Specific knowledge of the
criteria for PIH is needed to answer this question. Use nursing knowledge and
the process of elimination to make your selection. As an alternative, choose
option 2 because it has the greatest degree of change in both systolic and
diastolic measurements.
