The nurse is caring for a postrenal transplant client taking cyclosporine (Sandimmune). The nurse notes an increase in one of the client's vital signs, and the client is complaining of a headache. Which is the vital sign that is most likely increased?

1.Pulse
2.Respirations
3.Blood pressure
4.Temperature

The vital sign that increases after taking cyclosprine is blood pressure.

Explanation:

Cyclosporine lowers your body's immune system.The immune system can also "reject" a transplanted organ such as a liver or kidney because the immune system treats the new organ as an invader.Cyclosporine is used to prevent organ rejection after a kidney, heart, or liver transplant.

In this case after a renal transplant, cyclosporine is given which is causing *Hypertension*. Hypertension usually mild to moderate, occurs in approximately 50% of patients following renal transplantation. In 10% of cases it may cause flushing, arrhythmia, purpura, abnormal heart sounds, cardiac failure, peripheral ischemia and less frequently hypertension with fluid retention and convulsions.

when comparing the cases, what similarities are there in the cases that suggest one person committed these murders?
