Question 1 of 5
A 45-year-old male presents to the emergency department after experiencing profuse vomiting and diarrhea for 3 days. His blood pressure is 90/60 mmHg, heart rate is 110 beats per minute, and mucous membranes are dry. Which of the following interventions should the nurse prioritize?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Administer IV bolus of normal saline. In this scenario, the patient is presenting with signs of dehydration and hypovolemia, indicated by low blood pressure, tachycardia, and dry mucous membranes. The priority intervention is to restore intravascular volume quickly, which is best achieved by administering IV fluids such as normal saline. Encouraging oral intake of water (
A) may not be sufficient in this critical situation. Administering a potassium-sparing diuretic (
B) is not appropriate as it can worsen electrolyte imbalances. Fluid restriction (
C) is contraindicated in this patient with dehydration.
