Question 1 of 5

When developing a plan of care for a client admitted to the psychiatric unit following aspiration of a caustic material related to a suicide attempt, which nursing problem has the highest priority?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Ineffective breathing pattern. This is the highest priority because aspiration of a caustic material can lead to respiratory distress or compromise. Ensuring the client has a patent airway and adequate breathing is crucial for immediate stabilization and preventing further complications. Impaired comfort (choice
A) may be a concern but is secondary to ensuring the client can breathe. Risk for injury (choice
B) is important but not as immediate as addressing breathing. Ineffective coping (choice
D) is important for long-term recovery but addressing the client's breathing takes precedence in this acute situation.
