DNP student Gomez is trying to find an article that she can use as a model for her EBP project on using Tai Chi to reduce hypertension in diabetic patients. She needs to clearly understand the results of the article in order to predict what will happen in her project. She has an article that reports that the mean blood pressure was 145/74 for the standard of care (SOC) group and was 134/74 for the Tai Chi group. The Effect Size for was 11 points for systolic blood pressure (SBP), 95% CI [8, 14]. If Gomez adds Tai Chi to her practice, which of the following is the most accurate prediction of patient outcomes?

The SOC group should show an average SBP in the prehypertension range (120 to 139).

The Tai Chi group should show an average SBP in the hypertension range (>139).

The SBP of the SOC and the Tai Chi groups should have approximately the same SBP.

The Tai Chi group should have an average SBP 11 points higher than the SOC group.

The Tai Chi group should have an average SBP of 8 to 14 points less than the SOC group.
