While caring for a client with pericarditis, you measure the client’s BP and hear the first Korotkoff sound during expiration at 110 mm Hg. The sounds continue throughout auscultation, and you note that when the manometer is at 98 mm Hg, you hear sounds during both inspiration and expiration. Is this client manifesting pulsus paradoxus?
