Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who reports a new onset of severe chest pain. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to determine if the client is experiencing a myocardial infarction?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Perform a 12-lead ECG. This is because an ECG is the most reliable and direct way to assess for myocardial infarction by identifying characteristic changes in the heart's electrical activity. Nitroglycerin (
B) is used to relieve chest pain but should not be administered before confirming the diagnosis. Placing the client in a prone position (
C) is not appropriate for assessing chest pain. Assessing blood pressure (
D) is important but not the initial priority when suspecting myocardial infarction.
