A nurse is prioritizing care for four clients.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following clients should the nurse assess first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. The nurse should assess the adolescent with sickle cell anemia and slurred speech first because slurred speech could be a sign of a stroke, a serious complication of sickle cell anemia. Assessing for neurological deficits is crucial as prompt intervention can prevent further complications.
Choice A is incorrect as the toddler with osteomyelitis receiving an IV bolus of nafcillin can wait momentarily as the medication is not for an emergent condition.
Choice B is incorrect as pain level 7 in an adolescent in skin traction is important but not as urgent as assessing for potential neurological complications in choice C.
Choice D is incorrect as the toddler with a partial-thickness burn, while needing care, does not require immediate assessment for life-threatening conditions like stroke.
