Question 1 of 5
A nurse in the PACU is caring for a client who received isoflurane. Which of the following assessments is the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Blood pressure. Monitoring blood pressure is crucial after administering isoflurane due to its potential side effects of hypotension. Decreased blood pressure can indicate a serious adverse reaction and prompt intervention is necessary to maintain perfusion. Assessing intake and output, nonverbal pain cues, and bowel sounds are important, but they are not the priority when managing a potential life-threatening complication like hypotension post-isoflurane administration.
