A nurse in the postoperative ward has two tasks at hand. A urine sample has to be dispatched,
and a client needs to ambulate down the hallway. Meanwhile another client experiences a sudden
drop in blood pressure associated with altered consciousness. Which nursing action is
appropriate?
1 Directing care to the client who is experiencing falling blood pressure
2 Seeking help of the assistive personnel to dispatch the urine sample
3 Delegating the task of urine collection and assisting with ambulation
4 Providing care to the primary clients and then attending to the client with failing blood pressure
- answer✔1 Directing care to the client who is experiencing falling blood pressure
The nurse should prioritize care to the client who requires immediate care. The client with
hypotension requires immediate attention, as the condition may be life-threatening. The nurse
may delegate nontechnical interventions like collecting urine and assisting a client to walk, but
the client with falling blood pressure must be handled first. The nurse should first attend to the
client whose blood pressure is low and then care for the primary clients.
Test-Taking Tip: Remember that for multiple choice (single-answer) questions, you are being
asked to choose the highest priority or best response because the question only has one answer.
More than one choice may be correct, but you need to choose the best answer or highest priority.
So be sure to read every choice before submitting your answer. In this case, you have to make
the choice about which client requires immediate care.
