Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has a spinal cord injury and suspects the client is developing autonomic dysreflexia. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Placing the client in a sitting position, or elevating the head of the bed to at least 45 degrees, is the first and most critical action when autonomic dysreflexia is suspected. This position helps to lower blood pressure by promoting venous return to the heart and can prevent complications such as stroke from the sudden hypertension associated with autonomic dysreflexia.
