Question 1 of 5
An 8-year-old child on the pediatric unit recovering from severe persistent asthma is on the cardiac monitor. The nurse hears an alarm, and noted the leads on the child are on. The nurse checked for responsiveness, and the child is not responding to tactile response. What are the nurse's next actions?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Call for help, then check for a pulse. This is the best course of action as the nurse first needs to ensure additional help is on the way before proceeding with further assessment. Checking for a pulse is the next step to determine the child's circulatory status. Starting chest compressions without confirming the absence of a pulse can be harmful. Maintaining the airway is important but should come after checking for a pulse. Informing the physician can lead to delays in immediate interventions.
