The best way for the nurse to assess the hypertension of the client is to assess the blood pressure in the supine, sitting, then standing positions.
Ask the client to ambulate first, then assess the blood pressure.
Take the blood pressure on both arms, and compare the values.
Assess the blood pressure at the beginning and the end of the examination.
By measuring the client's blood pressure in the supine, sitting, and standing positions, the nurse can assess for postural hypotension. Asking the client to ambulate first and taking the blood pressure on both arms will not provide the most accurate information. Assessing at the beginning and end of the exam is incorrect because this measures a deficit and is not a tool for investigating hypotension.
