Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has had a sedative overdose. What is the priority action in caring for this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Ensure an adequate airway. This is the priority action because in a sedative overdose, the client may experience respiratory depression leading to airway compromise and hypoxia. Ensuring an open airway is crucial for maintaining oxygenation and preventing further complications such as respiratory arrest. Identifying the type of sedative (choice
A) can be important for further treatment but is not the immediate priority. Inserting a large-bore IV catheter (choice
B) and preparing the appropriate antagonist (choice
D) can be important interventions but should come after ensuring the airway.
