Question 1 of 5
After noting that a client has a pulse deficit, what action should the nurse take next?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Report this finding to the physician. Pulse deficit indicates a difference between radial and apical pulses, which could signify a serious cardiovascular issue. Reporting to the physician promptly ensures timely intervention and further evaluation. Instructing the client to report for weekly re-evaluations (
A) is not as urgent and doesn't address the underlying cause. Teaching the client to check pulses at home (
B) may not be appropriate without understanding the reason for the pulse deficit. Simply documenting the finding (
D) without further action delays necessary medical attention.
