Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who received midazolam IV for moderate (conscious) sedation. Which of the following assessments is the nurse's priority?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Oxygen saturation. When a client receives midazolam for sedation, there is a risk of respiratory depression leading to hypoxemia. Monitoring oxygen saturation is crucial to detect any decrease in oxygen levels promptly. This assessment takes priority over other vital signs such as temperature, heart rate, and level of consciousness. Oxygen saturation directly reflects the client's ability to oxygenate tissues and organs, making it essential for early intervention if respiratory compromise occurs. Monitoring level of consciousness is important but not as immediate as ensuring adequate oxygenation. Heart rate can be affected by sedation but is not as critical as monitoring oxygen saturation in this scenario.
