Time Remaining: 00:28:29
A patient discloses that they were up much of the night and have had several cups of coffee this morning already. They note that they are feeling jittery from it and are worried about what this will do to their blood pressure. What education can be provided to the patient about caffeine and blood pressure?
• "Consuming caffeine can really affect your blood pressure. We can't even check it now because it won't be accurate. Make sure not to drink any caffeine before your appointment next time."
• "Consuming any amount of caffeine can affect your blood pressure, so we can check your blood pressure and be sure to document that you have consumed several cups of coffee. This will allow for the provider to take this into consideration when making their assessment."
• "Consuming caffeine, regardless of when or how much, won't affect your blood pressure at all, so no need to worry about it."
• "Caffeine can affect your blood pressure, but if the result comes out within normal limits, we don't need to worry about even mentioning it in the chart at all."
