Question

During a routine physical exam for a client diagnosed with hypertension, the nurse practitioner will be most concerned if which assessment is found?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the main findings that should bring concern would be noted hemorrhages and microaneurysms during the evaluation of the internal eye. This is because these are symptoms that are caused by hypertension and usually lead to hypertensive retinopathy which can ultimately cause the individual to lose their sight if not treated in time. In the worst of cases, this can also be a sign of a blockage in the arteries which can ultimately lead to a stroke and even death.
