Question 1 of 5
A client with a terminal illness without an advance directive stops breathing and does not have a heartbeat. What should the nurse do?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Call a code. In this scenario, the client is not breathing and has no heartbeat, indicating cardiac arrest. Calling a code initiates immediate life-saving interventions such as CPR, defibrillation, and medication administration. This is crucial to improve the client's chances of survival. Calling a partial code (
A) would not address the immediate life-threatening situation. Calling the physician (
C) may cause a delay in initiating necessary interventions. A "slow code" (
D) is not appropriate as it involves delayed or minimal resuscitative efforts, which are not recommended in cases of cardiac arrest.
