ATI Advanced Med Surg Rn 46 Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

While caring for a patient with a pulmonary artery catheter, the nurse notes the pulmonary artery pressure to be significantly higher than previously recorded values. The nurse assesses respirations to be unlabored at 16 breaths/min, oxygen saturation of 98% on 3 L of oxygen via nasal cannula, and lungs clear to auscultation bilaterally. What is the priority nursing action?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Zero referencing and leveling the catheter at the phlebostatic axis ensures accurate pressure readings, which is critical before taking further actions. The patient's stable respiratory status and oxygen saturation do not warrant immediate oxygen increase or provider notification.
