Question 1 of 5
At the beginning of her shift in a long-term care facility, which of the following clients should a nurse check on first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: An 82-year-old woman who needs IV antibiotics. Checking on this client first is crucial because IV antibiotics are time-sensitive and require proper administration to ensure the effectiveness of treatment. Delaying or missing a dose can have serious consequences for the client's health. The other choices, while important, can be prioritized after attending to the client needing IV antibiotics. A: The 91-year-old man needing help eating breakfast can wait a bit longer. B: The 86-year-old man who has been incontinent can be addressed after the client needing IV antibiotics. D: The 75-year-old man recovering from an injury and needing an ice pack can also be attended to after the client requiring IV antibiotics.
