Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who had abdominal surgery. The client is grimacing and has a respiratory rate of 24/min. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Check the client's current level of pain. The nurse should assess the client's pain first to determine the cause of grimacing and tachypnea. Pain after abdominal surgery can indicate complications like infection or inadequate pain management. Addressing pain is a priority to ensure the client's comfort and prevent further complications. Options A, B, and D do not address the underlying issue of pain and are therefore not the most appropriate actions. Offering a cold compress or playing music may provide temporary relief but do not address the root cause. Repositioning may help with comfort but should come after assessing and addressing the pain.
