Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who develops an airway obstruction from a foreign body but remains conscious. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Administer the abdominal thrust maneuver. This action should be taken first because it is the appropriate intervention for a conscious individual with an airway obstruction. The abdominal thrust maneuver helps dislodge the foreign body by creating pressure to expel it. Performing a blind finger sweep (
A) can push the object further down the airway. Turning the client to the side (
B) may not effectively clear the airway obstruction. Inserting an oral airway (
C) could worsen the obstruction if not inserted correctly.
Therefore, administering the abdominal thrust maneuver is the priority to clear the airway obstruction in a conscious individual.
