Practice Question
The nurse takes the vital signs of a school-aged client diagnosed with obesity. The parent voices concern for the child's elevated blood pressure. Which response does the nurse provide to address the parent's concern?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"High blood pressure can start early in life due to obesity, but can be reversed with some positive changes."
Rationale:
✅Childhood obesity is a major risk factor for early hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and later cardiovascular disease.
✅Elevated blood pressure in children is clinically significant and not dismissed as “too young.”
✅Positive changes such as weight management, nutrition, and activity can improve or normalize blood pressure.
✅This response educates, reassures, and empowers the parent to pursue preventive health behaviors.
✅Early intervention reduces long-term risk of organ damage (kidney, heart, vasculature).
