Question 1 of 5
The client who had a right modified radical mastectomy four (4) years before is being admitted for a cardiac work-up for chest pain. Which intervention is most important for the nurse to implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Post-mastectomy, the affected arm is at risk for lymphedema; avoiding venipuncture or BP on that arm is critical. Chemotherapy history is less urgent, Adriamycin relates to cardiotoxicity but not immediate care, and chest wall exam is secondary.
