Four clients
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is prioritizing care for four clients. Which of the following clients should the nurse assess first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because slurred speech in a client with sickle cell anemia could indicate a stroke, a medical emergency requiring immediate assessment and intervention to prevent further complications. Assessing for neurologic deficits and ensuring prompt treatment is crucial.
Choice A is incorrect because although the adolescent in skin traction reports pain, it is not as urgent as a potential stroke in choice B.
Choices C and D involve clients with serious conditions, but they do not present with immediate life-threatening complications like slurred speech in choice B.
In summary, choice B is the priority due to the potential for a stroke in a client with sickle cell anemia, necessitating immediate assessment and intervention.
