Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is performing an admission assessment for a client who is receiving treatment following a situational crisis. Which of the following assessments by the nurse is the highest priority?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Determining if the client has psychotic thinking. This is the highest priority because it addresses the client's immediate safety and well-being. Psychotic thinking can indicate a severe mental health issue that requires immediate intervention to prevent harm to the client or others. Identifying support systems (
A) and coping skills (
B) are important but not as urgent as ensuring the client's safety. Asking the client to identify the cause of the crisis (
C) may be important for therapeutic purposes but does not address immediate safety concerns. The priority is always to address acute risks to the client's health and well-being.
