QUESTION 1 (Single Choice, NGN Clinical Judgment)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
─
An adult woman with a history of an inferior myocardial infarction (MI), esophageal reflux, and type 1
diabetes mellitus is admitted to the telemetry unit for sudden onset of dizziness with palpitations and a
burning sensation in her chest. Which intervention should the nurse implement first?
A. Evaluate the telemetry cardiac rhythm
B. Administer an oral antacid
C. Assess blood glucose level
D. Review the client’s last meal choices
CORRECT ANSWER: A
RATIONALE (EXPERT EXPLANATION):
• Use the ABCs (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) approach. In a patient with a history of MI, dizziness and
palpitations could indicate a new dysrhythmia or ischemic changes.
• Although reflux and blood glucose are also important considerations, checking the cardiac monitor first
addresses the potentially life-threatening issue of an arrhythmia.

• Bouillon soup is often high in sodium; mayonnaise dip adds unnecessary fat; peanut butter/crackers can
have sodium and fat levels that may need moderation.
