Question 1 of 5

A nurse in the emergency department is attending to a patient exhibiting symptoms of a myocardial infarction. Which of the following actions should the nurse prioritize? Which action should the nurse prioritize for myocardial infarction?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Initiate oxygen therapy. In a myocardial infarction, the priority is to ensure adequate oxygen supply to the heart muscle to prevent further damage. Oxygen therapy helps increase oxygen delivery to the heart, reducing the workload on the heart muscle. This action can potentially limit the size of the infarction and improve the patient's outcome. Obtaining a blood sample (
B) can provide valuable information but is not as urgent as ensuring oxygen supply. Attaching leads for a 12-lead ECG (
C) is important for diagnosing the myocardial infarction but does not directly address the immediate need for oxygen. Inserting an IV catheter (
D) may be necessary for administering medications, but oxygen therapy takes precedence in this situation.
