Client is confused and agitated, returned from acute care facility.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a long-term care facility is assessing a client who has returned from an acute care facility and the client is confused and agitated. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Reorient the client to his surroundings. The first step should be to address the client's confusion and agitation by helping them understand where they are. Reorienting the client can help decrease their anxiety and improve their sense of security. This action also sets the foundation for further assessment and intervention.
Choice A is incorrect as measuring vital signs is important but does not address the immediate need for reorientation.
Choice B, offering reassurance to the family, is also incorrect as the priority should be the client's needs.
Choice D, medicating the client with alprazolam, should not be the first action as it is important to try non-pharmacological interventions first.
