Extract:
Four clients: adolescent with sickle cell anemia and slurred speech, adolescent in skin traction with pain level 7, toddler with osteomyelitis, toddler with partial-thickness burn
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is prioritizing care for four clients. Which of the following clients should the nurse assess first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. The nurse should assess the adolescent with sickle cell anemia and slurred speech first. Slurred speech could indicate a neurological complication, such as a stroke or sickle cell crisis. Assessing this client first is crucial for immediate intervention to prevent further complications.
Choice B is incorrect because pain management, while important, is not as urgent as assessing neurological symptoms.
Choice C is incorrect as the IV bolus can wait momentarily while addressing more critical issues.
Choice D, the toddler with a burn, requires prompt care but is not as urgent as assessing slurred speech in a client with sickle cell anemia.
