Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has returned to the unit following a surgical procedure. The client's oxygen saturation is $85 \%$. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Administer oxygen at $2 \mathrm{~L} / \mathrm{min}$ : Administering oxygen is important but should be done after positioning the client to improve natural ventilation. Raise the head of the bed: Raising the head of the bed is the first action to take as it facilitates better lung expansion and improves ventilation. This can help increase the oxygen saturation more immediately and effectively. Encourage coughing and deep breathing: Encouraging coughing and deep breathing is also beneficial to help clear secretions and improve lung function, but positioning the client for optimal breathing should be prioritized first. Administer prescribed analgesic medication. Administering analgesics may be necessary for pain management, but it does not directly address the immediate need to improve oxygen saturation.
