Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving IV fluids and develops dyspnea. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Check the client's lung sounds. The nurse should first assess the client's lung sounds to determine the cause of dyspnea, as this could indicate pulmonary edema or fluid overload. Checking lung sounds will provide crucial information to guide further interventions. Elevating the head of the bed (
A) may help with respiratory distress but does not address the underlying cause. Slowing the IV infusion rate (
B) may be necessary but should come after assessing the client. Administering oxygen (
C) is important, but assessing the lungs should be the priority.
