Question 1 of 5
A 70-year-old patient has just received a drug that can cause sedation. What would be the priority nursing diagnosis for this patient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Risk for injury related to adverse effects of the drug. As a 70-year-old patient has received a sedating drug, the priority nursing diagnosis should address the potential harm associated with sedation, such as falls or accidents. This diagnosis focuses on preventing harm to the patient.
Choice A (Noncompliance) is not a priority in this case as it does not address immediate safety concerns.
Choice B (Deficient knowledge) may be important but does not address the potential risk for injury.
Choice D (Ineffective health maintenance) is not as urgent as ensuring the patient's safety.
Therefore, the priority for this patient is to address the risk for injury due to the sedative effects of the drug.
