Question 1 of 5
What is the priority nursing action?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Place the child in the knee-chest position. This is the priority nursing action because it helps relieve pressure on the heart and improve circulation in cases of supraventricular tachycardia. Placing the child in this position can help restore normal heart rhythm and prevent potential complications. It is crucial to address the immediate physiological need first before other actions. Option A is incorrect as preparing the family for imminent death is important but not the priority in this situation. Option C, assessing for neurologic defects, is not the priority as the child's cardiovascular issue needs immediate attention. Option D, beginning cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is not necessary in this case as the child is conscious and stable.
