Four children with various conditions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing data for four children. Which of the following children should the nurse assess first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. The nurse should assess the 10-year-old child with sickle cell anemia reporting severe chest pain first because it could indicate a serious complication like acute chest syndrome requiring immediate intervention to prevent respiratory failure and death. Assessing and managing pain and respiratory status is crucial in this situation.
Choice A is incorrect as roseola with fever is usually self-limiting and not immediately life-threatening.
Choice B is incorrect as a PCO2 of 37 mm Hg in a child with asthma, while abnormal, may not require immediate attention if the child is stable.
Choice D is incorrect as a urine specific gravity of 1.016 in a child with diabetes insipidus indicates a need for monitoring but not immediate intervention.
