Question 1 of 5
Which assessment Is most important for the nurse to obtain when a patient is being treated with a neuromuscular-blocking agent?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Respiratory assessment for patent airway. When a patient is being treated with a neuromuscular-blocking agent, the most critical assessment is ensuring the airway remains open for adequate ventilation. These agents can cause paralysis of respiratory muscles, leading to respiratory distress or failure. Monitoring the respiratory status helps prevent complications like hypoventilation or airway obstruction. Skin assessment (
B), blood pressure assessment (
C), and fluid volume overload assessment (
D) are important in overall patient care but not as immediately crucial as ensuring a patent airway when using neuromuscular-blocking agents.
