Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who just had a subclavian central venous catheter inserted. Which symptom should the nurse recognize as setting a priority for this client's care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Tachycardia. After subclavian central venous catheter insertion, tachycardia can indicate a potential complication like cardiac tamponade or pneumothorax, which are life-threatening. Decreased pedal pulses (
A) are not typically related to subclavian central venous catheter insertion. Presence of bibasilar crackles (
C) may indicate fluid overload, but it is not as urgent as tachycardia. Headache (
D) is a common side effect post-procedure and not a priority.
