Question 1 of 5
A nurse is receiving change-of-shift report for a group of clients. Which of the following clients should the nurse plan to assess first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. The nurse should plan to assess the client with a hip fracture and new onset of tachypnea first. This client is at risk for developing a pulmonary embolism, which is a life-threatening complication. Tachypnea can be an early sign of decreased oxygenation. Assessing this client first allows for prompt intervention if a pulmonary embolism is suspected.
Choices A, B, and D do not present immediate life-threatening situations that require urgent assessment. Sinus arrhythmia in choice A is a benign condition. Weakness in lower extremities in choice B may be related to the epidural analgesia and can be assessed after the client with tachypnea. HbA1c of 7.2% in choice D indicates good diabetes control and does not require immediate assessment.
