The nurse is caring for an older adult client who reports dizziness when standing and asks, “Why does this happen?” Which response would the nurse provide?
“Activity intolerance is normal as you age.”
“This may be associated with age-related ECG changes.”
“When you move too quickly your aging heart cannot keep up.”
“Baroreceptor function that helps regulate BP can decline with age.”
