Which client would most likely be misdiagnosed for having a myocardial infarction?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
A 40-year-old Hispanic female with normal ECG (C) is most likely to be misdiagnosed, as women often present atypically and normal ECGs can occur in MI. Typical symptoms (A), elevated troponin (B), and normal CK-MB at 12 hours (D) are less likely to be missed.
