Question 1 of 5
A client has just been admitted to the Post Anesthesia Care Unit after electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Which intervention will the nurse perform first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Orient the client and monitor vital signs. This is the first intervention the nurse should perform because after ECT, the client may be disoriented and their vital signs need to be closely monitored for any immediate post-procedural complications such as arrhythmias or respiratory distress. Offering reassurance (choice
A) can come after ensuring the client's immediate safety. Encouraging the client to drink fluids (choice
B) is important but not the priority immediately upon arrival in the PACU. Assisting the client from the stretcher to a wheelchair (choice
D) should only be done once the client is stable and oriented.
