Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to assess a client's carotid arteries. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Auscultate each carotid artery with the bell of the stethoscope. This is the correct action because listening with the bell of the stethoscope allows the nurse to assess for bruits, which are abnormal sounds that can indicate narrowing or occlusion of the arteries. This assessment technique helps in detecting any potential vascular issues. Placing the client in a high-Fowler's position (choice
A) is not necessary for assessing the carotid arteries. Palpating the carotid arteries simultaneously (choice
C) can lead to inaccurate assessment as it may obstruct blood flow. Massaging the carotid artery while assessing the client (choice
D) is not recommended as it can potentially dislodge any existing plaque and cause a stroke.
