A school-age child following a heart catheterization.
Question 1 of 5
An RN is caring for a school-age child following a heart catheterization. Which of the following findings should concern the RN the most?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Bleeding. This finding should concern the RN the most following a heart catheterization in a school-age child because it can indicate a complication such as a hematoma or hemorrhage, which can be life-threatening. Bleeding at the catheter insertion site can lead to hypovolemic shock and requires immediate intervention. Poor appetite (
A), slight pain (
B), and anxiety (
C) are common after a procedure like a heart catheterization and are expected findings that can be managed with appropriate interventions. In summary, while all findings should be monitored, bleeding is the most critical concern due to its potential severity and immediate need for intervention.
