Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client prior to the administration of morphine. The nurse should recognize which assessment is the priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Respiratory rate. Prioritizing respiratory rate is crucial before administering morphine because morphine can cause respiratory depression. Monitoring for any signs of respiratory distress or decreased respiratory rate is essential to prevent potential respiratory complications. The other choices are not as critical in this scenario:
B) Urine output,
C) Bowel sounds, and
D) Pupil reaction are important assessments but do not directly relate to the immediate risk associated with morphine administration. Thus, assessing respiratory rate takes precedence in ensuring the client's safety and well-being.
