Question 1 of 5

A nurse and a nursing assistant enter a client's room to provide care and find the client lying on the floor. Which action should the nurse take first?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: When a client sustains a fall, the nurse must first assess the client. The nurse should check the client's level of consciousness and vital signs to determine the severity of the situation and provide appropriate care promptly. This immediate assessment is crucial in ensuring the client's immediate needs are addressed. Asking the nursing assistant to complete an incident report (choice
A) is not the priority as the client's condition needs immediate attention. Contacting the unit secretary to call the client's health care provider (choice
C) can be done after the initial assessment has been completed. Asking the nursing assistant to assist in getting the client back to bed (choice
D) should only be considered after ensuring the client is stable and safe to move.
