Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a child who is 2 hr postoperative following a cardiac catheterization and finds the dressing is saturated with blood. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct first action for the nurse to take is to apply pressure just above the insertion site. This is because a saturated dressing indicates active bleeding, which needs immediate intervention to control. Applying pressure will help to stop the bleeding and prevent further blood loss, ensuring the child's stability. Reinforcing the dressing (choice
A) would not address the underlying issue of bleeding. Obtaining vital signs (choice
B) can wait momentarily as controlling the bleeding takes precedence. Monitoring the pulse distal to the insertion site (choice
D) is also important but should come after stopping the bleeding to ensure adequate perfusion.
