Question 5 of 5
A client in the emergency department has Benzodiazepine toxicity due to an overdose. Which of the following actions is the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In a situation where a client presents with Benzodiazepine toxicity, the priority action for the nurse is to assess the client. By identifying the client's level of orientation, the nurse can gather crucial information about the client's mental status, which is essential for determining the appropriate care and interventions needed. Administering flumazenil, infusing IV fluids, or preparing for gastric lavage may be necessary interventions but should follow a thorough assessment of the client's condition.
