Question 1 of 5
What nursing measure assumes priority for Mr. Johnson with sudden diarrhea and high fever?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C, to monitor respiratory status and observe for signs of hypoxia. This is because sudden diarrhea and high fever can indicate a potential infectious illness, which can lead to respiratory complications such as pneumonia. Monitoring respiratory status is crucial to detect any signs of respiratory distress or hypoxia early on. A: Determining his work on an air-conditioning unit is not a priority at this time as it does not directly address his immediate health concerns. B: Placing the patient in isolation may be necessary later depending on the diagnosis, but it is not the priority at this moment. D: Beginning discharge teaching is not appropriate as the patient is currently experiencing acute symptoms that require immediate attention. In summary, monitoring respiratory status is the priority to ensure early detection and intervention for any potential respiratory complications in a patient with sudden diarrhea and high fever.
