VATI ATI Comprehensive Predictor 2023 | Nurselytic

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The nurse should assess the client with abdominal pain and vomiting coffee-ground emesis first because this symptom indicates potential upper gastrointestinal bleeding, which is a medical emergency requiring immediate attention to prevent further complications such as hypovolemic shock or organ damage. Assessing this client first is crucial to initiate prompt intervention.


Choice A is not the priority as the client with heart failure experiencing shortness of breath while ambulating may indicate worsening heart failure but is not immediately life-threatening.


Choice C, a client with benign prostatic hyperplasia unable to urinate, requires assessment and intervention but is not as urgent as the client with potential upper gastrointestinal bleeding.


Choice D, a client with green drainage from the T-tube post-cholecystectomy, may indicate a bile leak which needs monitoring but is not as urgent as the client with signs of upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
