A nurse is assessing a client who has the following vital signs: oral temperature 37.2° C (98.9° F), apical pulse rate 80/min, radial pulse rate 62/min, respiratory rate 16/min, and blood pressure 132/40 mm Hg. What is the client's pulse pressure?

(Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

A. Decreased serum osmolarity: Fluid volume deficit typically leads to an increase in serum osmolarity due to concentration of solutes in the blood, not a decrease.

B. Decreased hematocrit: Dehydration causes hemoconcentration, leading to an increase in hematocrit, not a decrease.

C. Elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN): Dehydration results in decreased renal perfusion and concentration of urea in the blood, leading to elevated BUN levels.

D. Lower urine specific gravity: Dehydration causes increased urine concentration, resulting in higher urine specific gravity, not lower.

A. There is no known significant interaction between garlic supplements and antidepressants.

B. There is no evidence to suggest that garlic supplements are contraindicated for individuals with a history of seizure disorders. Garlic is not known to exacerbate seizure activity or interact with anticonvulsant medications.
C. Garlic has antiplatelet properties, which can increase the risk of bleeding, especially when combined with other blood-thinning agents like aspirin. Clients who take aspirin daily are at an increased risk of bleeding complications if they also take garlic supplements. This makes it a contraindication in such cases.
D. There are no known contraindications specifically related to rheumatoid arthritis and garlic supplements.
