NCLEX type question week of 9-12-10

A nurse is instructing an older adult client about the changes in cardiac function related to age. The nurse correctly explains that an increase in diastolic and systolic blood pressure occurs as part of the aging process because of

1. complications of coronary artery disease.
2. decreased elasticity of blood vessels.
3. increase in cardiac output.
4. complications of renal failure.

  1. answer 2.

    A normal change of aging is decreased elasticity of blood vessels.
