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: D

Rationale: Performing a 12-lead ECG is the most important diagnostic tool for identifying myocardial infarction. It provides real-time evidence of ischemic changes, such as ST-segment elevation or depression, confirming or ruling out an MI. Checking blood pressure, auscultating heart tones, and assessing pain radiation are supportive but not definitive for diagnosing an MI.
