Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has been admitted with a suspected stimulant overdose. Which of the following nursing priorities should the nurse implement first?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Monitor vital signs frequently. This is the first priority because in a stimulant overdose, the client is at risk for severe hypertension, tachycardia, and arrhythmias. Monitoring vital signs will help the nurse quickly identify and address any life-threatening complications. Administering activated charcoal (
A) can be beneficial, but only after stabilizing the client's condition. Obtaining a urine sample (
B) and initiating seizure precautions (
C) are important but not the immediate priority. Monitoring vital signs takes precedence over these actions to ensure the client's safety.
