Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A one-day post-operative client complains of severe abdominal pain and has shallow respirations at 22/minute. The client is reluctant to perform coughing and deep breathing. Based on the data the priority problem that the nurse could assign to this patient is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Ineffective breathing pattern. The client's shallow respirations indicate a potential problem with breathing. This is further supported by the client's reluctance to cough and deep breathe, which are essential for expanding the lungs and preventing respiratory complications post-operatively. Addressing ineffective breathing pattern is crucial to prevent complications such as atelectasis or pneumonia.
A: Ineffective gas exchange would be a secondary concern resulting from ineffective breathing pattern.
C: Activity intolerance is not the priority as the client's main issue is related to breathing.
D: Decreased cardiac function is not supported by the data provided.
