Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data on a patient who is postoperative following aortic valve replacement. Which of the following tasks should the nurse prioritize during data collection?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Pain assessment is the priority post-aortic valve replacement because it affects patient comfort, vital signs, and recovery. Unmanaged pain can increase heart rate and blood pressure, stressing the surgical site. Blood pressure, bowel sounds, and catheter site checks are important but secondary, as pain directly impacts immediate well-being and can signal complications like bleeding or infection.
