Question 1 of 5
Which of the following assessments is the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Respiratory Rate. Assessing the respiratory rate is the priority because airway and breathing are essential for survival. If there are issues with breathing, it can quickly lead to a life-threatening situation. Monitoring the respiratory rate helps in detecting any breathing difficulties early on. Bowel sounds, burns of the mouth, and visual acuity are important assessments but do not take precedence over respiratory rate in terms of immediate threat to life. Bowel sounds indicate gastrointestinal function, burns of the mouth may affect eating and swallowing, and visual acuity is important for vision, but they are not as critical as ensuring the patient can breathe effectively.
