Question 2 of 5
The nursing assistant reports to the nurse that a client who is one-day postoperative after an angioplasty is refusing to eat and states, 'I just don't feel good.'
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Assessment is required to determine the cause of the client’s symptoms, as they could indicate complications such as vessel closure, bleeding, hypotension, or dysrhythmias. Talking with the client to assess current symptoms is the most immediate and appropriate action. Encouraging eating, ordering medication, or reviewing past vital signs does not address the need for current assessment.
