Question 1 of 5
A nurse receives change of shift report about a group of assigned patients. Which patient should the nurse attend to first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse should attend to the patient admitted 30 minutes ago for chest pain first. This patient's condition is potentially life-threatening, requiring immediate assessment and intervention to rule out serious cardiac issues. Delay in addressing chest pain can lead to adverse outcomes like heart attack or cardiac arrest. The other patients' needs are important but not as urgent as addressing chest pain. The patient who had surgery two days ago can wait for dressing change instruction, the patient who received pain medication recently is stable, and the patient being transferred can be attended to later. Prioritizing based on acuity ensures the nurse focuses on the most critical patient needs first.
