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.

D. Sit with a client who has alcohol use disorder and whose last drink was five days ago can be assigned to an AP as it involves providing a supportive presence and monitoring, but the nurse should assess for withdrawal symptoms.

E. Assess a client who has hypomania for exhaustion is a nursing responsibility that involves evaluation and judgment, making it inappropriate to delegate to an AP.
