Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who has a new diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Maintain the client on NPO status. In acute pancreatitis, the pancreas is inflamed, leading to digestive enzyme release and potential autodigestion of pancreatic tissue. Keeping the client NPO (nothing by mouth) helps rest the pancreas by reducing stimulation of enzyme secretion. This allows the pancreas to heal and decreases the risk of further complications. Administering antihypertensive medications (
A) is not typically a priority for acute pancreatitis. Placing the client in a supine position (
C) may not directly impact the pancreatitis. Monitoring for hypercalcemia (
D) is important in chronic pancreatitis but not typically a primary intervention in the acute phase.
