A nurse on an obstetrics-gynecology unit is planning care for four clients after receiving change of shift report. Which of the following clients should the nurse assess first?

A.

A client who is 4 days postpartum and has mastitis

B.

A client who had a bilateral tubal ligation 12 hr previously

C.

A client admitted 1 hr ago for an ectopic pregnancy

D.

A client who is a 1 day postpartum after a late term miscarriage

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Rationale:

 

A. A client who is 4 days postpartum and has mastitis should be assessed, but this condition is less acute compared to the others.

 

B. A client who had a bilateral tubal ligation 12 hr previously requires post-operative monitoring, but this is less urgent than the client with an ectopic pregnancy.

 

C. A client admitted 1 hr ago for an ectopic pregnancy is the priority as this condition can be life-threatening and requires immediate assessment.

 

D. A client who is 1 day postpartum after a late-term miscarriage requires care, but the immediacy is less than that of the ectopic pregnancy client.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Rationale:

A. Assessment includes the current status and vital signs of the client, which are part of the information the nurse provides to assess the client’s condition.

B. Situation describes the problem or concern that prompted the communication, not detailed vital signs.

C. Background provides context or history relevant to the situation but does not include current vital signs.

D. Recommendation involves suggesting actions or solutions but does not include the current condition details.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Rationale:

A. Fill the bath basin with tap water that is 39° C (102.2° F) is too warm for bathing; the recommended water temperature is typically around 37°C (98.6°F) to prevent burns or discomfort.

B. Pull the curtain around the client's bed ensures privacy for the client during the bath, which is important for maintaining dignity and confidentiality.

C. Wash the client's arms and hands first is not necessarily the first step; typically, washing the face and then moving to the rest of the body is preferred.

D. Use a washcloth to wipe the client's eyes from the outer canthus to the inner canthus is incorrect as it should be done from the inner canthus to the outer canthus to avoid spreading any discharge across the eye.
