Question 8 - Medical Emergencies Practice Test for the CEN

The nurse is caring for a 35-year-old woman who has presented to the ER with complaints of chest pain, shortness of breath, headache, and blurry vision. The patient’s eyes appear normal on exam. Upon taking her vital signs, the nurse notes that her blood pressure is 190/128. What is most likely the underlying cause of the patient’s symptoms?
