RN ATI Adult Medsurg Proctored Exam 2023 With NGN Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who had a surgical repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm 3 days ago. The clients vital signs are: temperature 38.3° C (100.9° F), heart rate 80/min, respirations 16/min, and blood pressure 128/76 mm Hg. Which of the following actions is the nurses priority?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Assess the surgical incision for signs of infection. This is the priority because the client has a fever (indicating possible infection) post-surgery, putting them at risk for complications. Assessing the surgical incision allows for early detection of infection, prompt treatment, and prevention of further complications. Administering an antipyretic (choice
A) only addresses the symptom but not the underlying cause. Encouraging ambulation (choice
B) and increasing IV fluids (choice
D) are important but assessing for infection takes precedence due to the potential severity of an infected surgical site.
