ATI Nur 175 Med Surg Exam | Nurselytic

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: While the client with a subarachnoid hemorrhage needs close monitoring, the administration of nimodipine is essential but not immediately life-threatening compared to the post-tPA monitoring requirements. This client received tissue plasminogen activator (tP
A) 8 hours ago, which is critical for treating ischemic stroke. They are at a high risk of complications such as bleeding and must be monitored closely for any signs of adverse effects, making them the priority. The client with chronic atrial fibrillation due for warfarin can be attended to after addressing more urgent needs. Chronic atrial fibrillation management is important, but it is less urgent than post-tPA care. The client who experienced a transient ischemic attack and is due for aspirin is stable compared to the client who recently received tPA. While aspirin is important for preventing further strokes, it does not require the same level of immediate monitoring as the post-tPA client.
