Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for four children in an emergency department. Which of the following clients should the nurse assess first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Acute epiglottitis is a medical emergency that can lead to airway obstruction. The nurse should assess this child first to ensure airway patency. Drooling is a sign of difficulty swallowing and impending airway compromise. The nurse should act promptly to prevent respiratory distress.
Choices B, C, and D do not present immediate life-threatening conditions that require urgent assessment. Bright red blood in urine in a child with a UTI may indicate a more severe infection, but it does not require immediate intervention like airway management. Severe fatigue in a child with mononucleosis and an abdominal mass in a child with Wilms' tumor are concerning, but they do not pose immediate threats to the child's airway.
