1. CORRECT ANSWER- The patient’s symptoms are consistent with autonomic dysreflexia. Because the PT assessed vital signs, a sudden rise in systolic blood pressure of 20-40 mmHg above baseline would be indicative of this diagnosis; the PT may also note bradycardia.
2. A slowing heart rate paired with the patient’s symptoms may indicate an episode of autonomic dysreflexia (AD), however, blood pressure would also need to be assessed to confirm.
3. Vital signs, such respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation, would continue to be assessed, however, due to the patient’s presentation and symptoms consistent with autonomic dysreflexia, a blood pressure and heart rate assessment would be most appropriate in ruling in this diagnosis.
4. Vital signs, such as respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation would continue to be assessed, however, due to the patient’s presentation and symptoms consistent with autonomic dysreflexia, a blood pressure and heart rate assessment would be most appropriate in ruling in this diagnosis.
