The nurse completes discharge teaching for the client with chronic stage 2 hypertension. Which statement by the client indicates that teaching was effective?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Teaching is effective if the client states to call the HCP immediately if experiencing vision changes. Sudden vision changes may be associated with stroke, a complication of hypertension. Limiting potassium is unnecessary unless hyperkalemia is present, rigorous exercise should be gradual, and a BMI of 32 is obese, which is a risk factor for hypertension.
