Discussion Rapid Assessment of a Client
The rapid assessment we would start on Ashley would first be managing her airway and
breathing, measure blood pressure and heart rate. Call for help if needed. Reassure the her that
she will be taken care of and ask companion to stay. Position the patient on her left side. Even in
emergency situations, you must remember the standard precautions and professional standards
with all patients. We as nurses should work within our scope of practice and follow guidelines
within our specialties (Pregnancy, Childbirth, Postpartum and Newborn Care: A Guide for
Essential Practice, 2015). In situations as this, we will continue to demonstrate our nursing
responsibilities while providing the best quality care. Before and after assessing and caring for
Ashley, it is important to wash your hands. Perform hand hygiene before and after contact with
body fluids and after patient contact like taking blood pressure or pulse (Jarvis, 2016). Before
starting her IV also wash your hands and make sure to use gloves, especially knowing we are
anticipating contact with blood and other possible infectious material like bloody gauze or used
needles. Once IV line is started, we will give fluids slowly. Give magnesium sulfate as ordered by
MD. If diastolic BP >110 mm of Hg, give antihypertensive. If temperature >38 degrees or history
