A nurse in the emergency department is caring for a client who
reports pain in her left leg following a motor-vehicle crash. The
nurse notes that her left leg has bruising, swelling, and
displacement of the bones. Which of the following actions should
the nurse take first?
Obtain an x-ray of the injured leg.
Apply ice packs to the affected area.
Check neurovascular status distal to the injury.
Elevate the affected leg on two pillows. ......answer.....Check
neurovascular status distal to the injury.
The nurse should apply the safety and risk reduction
prioritysetting framework. This framework assigns priority to
the factor or situation posing the greatest safety risk to the
client. When there are several risks to client safety, the one
posing the greatest threat is the highest priority. The nurse
should use Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the ABC
prioritysetting framework, or nursing knowledge to identify
,3|
which risk poses the greatest threat to the client. The greatest
risk to this client is impaired circulation to the limb from
trauma and the resulting edema; therefore, the first action is
to check the circulation, sensation, and movement distal to
the level of the injury. If the nurse notes a weak or absent
pulse distal to the injury, the limb's circulation is
compromised, and immediate action is critical.
A nurse is providing preoperative teaching for a client who will
undergo laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery.
Which of the following information should the nurse include?
"You might need glasses after the surgery."
"You may drive home after the procedure."

eyeglasses despite having had LASIK surgery.

does not respond to his name. which of the following actions
