Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has experienced a hemorrhagic stroke. Which intervention should the nurse prioritize when providing care to the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Monitoring vital signs and neurological status frequently. This is the priority intervention because in a hemorrhagic stroke, there is bleeding in the brain leading to increased intracranial pressure. Monitoring vital signs and neurological status helps in detecting any changes promptly and initiating appropriate interventions. Maintaining strict bed rest (
B) is not recommended as it may lead to complications like deep vein thrombosis. Administering anticoagulant medications (
C) is contraindicated in hemorrhagic strokes as it can worsen bleeding. Assisting with range of motion exercises (
D) is important but not the priority in the acute phase of hemorrhagic stroke.
