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: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Determining if the client has psychotic thinking. This is the highest priority because psychotic thinking can pose a significant risk to the client's safety and well-being. Psychotic symptoms may include hallucinations or delusions, which can impair the client's ability to make rational decisions or accurately perceive reality. Assessing for psychotic thinking allows the nurse to determine the client's current mental status and the need for immediate interventions to ensure safety. Asking the client to identify the cause of the crisis (
B), identifying coping skills (
C), and support systems (
D) are important assessments but not as critical as assessing for psychotic thinking in this situation.
