This can lead to a "false positive" for hypertension, a serious medical condition. As a result, clinicians will frequently take a second or third reading to determine the normal blood pressure. In doing so, they often do which of the following during the second testing to reduce the chance of a second false positive test. Select up to 3. Note: A false positive is a a test result that indicates that a person has a specific disease or condition when the person actually does not have the disease or condition. a.change the setting to a less stressful place b.try to get the patient to relax by changing the conversation c.looking at them sternly and yell loudly to relax d.employ stress release techniques, such as deep slow breathing, to help them calm down. e.turn on very bright lights which are known to have a relaxing effect.arrow_forwardYour patient is an 85-year-old man with congestive heart failure (CHF). BP = 145/87. He has been very ill and hasn't been eating. A blood test shows that he has hypoproteinemia (low levels of protein in the blood). Would an intravenous (IV) infusion of albumin be an appropriate treatment? Why or why not? Yes, because it would help with blood clotting. No, because it would help with blood clotting. Yes, because it would lead to an increase in blood volume. No, because it would lead to an increase in blood volume. Yes, because it would decrease his blood pressure. No, because it would decrease his blood pressure. Yes, because since he doesn't have enough protein in his blood, you should add more. No, because since he doesn't have enough protein in his blood, you should add more.arrow_forward

- A higher level of hemoglobin in the blood increases the blood’s density. This is the basis for a simple test that can be used to see if a prospective blood donor has a high enough hemoglobin level to donate safely. A drop of blood is placed in a copper sulfate solution, and the time for the drop to sink to the bottom is measured. If this time is too long, the hemoglobin level is toolow. Explain how this test works.arrow_forwardIn a few remote areas in that country, the percentage of sickle cell anemia reaches as high as 5%.
