Extract:
A client with deficits from a spinal cord injury with an O2 saturation of 92%.
Question 1 of 5
After assessing a client with deficits from a spinal cord injury, the nurse identifies the client's O2 saturation is 92%. Which of the following is the best first action by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Ask client to cough, then inhale and exhale deeply. This is the best first action as it helps to increase ventilation and oxygen exchange in the lungs, potentially improving oxygen saturation. Anticipating intubation (choice
A) is premature and invasive without further assessment. Inserting an IV catheter (choice
C) is not directly related to addressing the oxygen saturation concern. Administering antihypertensives (choice
D) is not indicated for low O2 saturation. Asking the client to cough and breathe deeply is a non-invasive, immediate intervention that can improve oxygenation levels.
