Four clients on a medical-surgical unit: one with peripheral vascular disease and absent pedal pulse, one newly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, one with MRSA and fever, one postoperative unable to void
Question 1 of 5
A nurse on a medical-surgical unit is caring for four clients. The nurse should recognize that which of the following clients is the highest priority?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. The postoperative client who is unable to void is the highest priority because it may indicate urinary retention, which can lead to serious complications like bladder distension, UTI, or renal damage. Prompt intervention is crucial to prevent these complications. A: Absent pedal pulse in peripheral vascular disease is concerning but may not be immediately life-threatening. B: Newly diagnosed pancreatic cancer starting IV chemotherapy is important but not as urgent as the postoperative complication. C: MRSA infection with fever requires treatment but is not as time-sensitive as the potential urinary retention in the postoperative client.
