Hypothermia is when the body temperature is below 95° F (35° C) and the patient's temperature of 93.2° F (34° C) is indicative of hypothermia.
Answer: A
Hyperthermia is when the body temperature is above 100.4° F (38° C) and the patient's temperature of 113° F (45° C) with hot, dry skin matches the assessment findings of hyperthermia.
Answer: C
A pulse rate of 110 beats/min may indicate tachycardia, which can be associated with a number of conditions such as fever, hypoxia, shock.
Answer: E
The drop in blood pressure from 126/76 to 90/50 may indicate hypotension, which can be associated with hypovolemia, sepsis, anaphylaxis or other conditions.
Answer: B
Blood pressure drops from a sitting to standing position is indicative of orthostatic hypotension, which can be associated with dehydration, blood loss, side effects of medication, or be a symptom of autonomic nervous system dysfunction.
