◉ The nurse responds to a call for help from the emergency
department waiting room. An older adult client is lying on the floor.
List the order in which the nurse must carry out the following
actions.
•Perform the chin lift or jaw thrust maneuver
•Establish unresponsiveness
•Initiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
•Call for help and activate the code team
•Instruct unlicensed assistive personnel to get the crash cart.
Answer: •Establish unresponsiveness
•Call for help and activate the code team
•Perform the chin lift or jaw thrust maneuver
•Initiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
•Instruct unlicensed assistive personnel to get the crash cart
,•Establish unresponsiveness first. (The client may have fallen and
sustained a minor injury.) If the client is unresponsive, get help and
activate the code team. Performing the chin lift or jaw thrust
maneuver opens the airway. The nurse is then responsible for
starting CPR. A pocket mask or bag-valve mask is used to deliver
rescue breaths. CPR should not be interrupted until the client
recovers or it is determined that all heroic efforts have been
exhausted. A crash cart should be at the site when the code team
arrives; however, basic CPR can be effectively performed until the
code team arrives.
◉ Emergency medical services has transported a client with severe
chest pain. As the client is being transferred to the emergency
stretcher, the nurse notes unresponsiveness, cessation of breathing,
and no palpable pulse. Which task is appropriate to delegate to the
unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?
•Performing chest compressions
•Initiating bag-valve mask ventilation
•Assisting with oral intubation
•Placing the defibrillator pads. Answer: •Performing chest
compressions
◉ Tetanus immunizations are routinely administered during
childhood and in the emergency department (ED) for clients who
sustain wounds. Although the incidence of tetanus has decreased,
, there is still a danger. Which client represents the group that is
*most* vulnerable for risk?
•Child who helps with the farm work sustained scratches while
feeding the animals
•Newborn infant delivered in the emergency department; mother
had no prenatal care
•Older adult who lives alone sustained a minor cut while cleaning
the basement
•Young adult who works in an auto repair shop sustained a deep cut
on a metal edge. Answer: •Older adult who lives alone sustained a
minor cut while cleaning the basement
•Older adults are the most likely to be nonvaccinated or
undervaccinated. Tetanus usually occurs when a minor wound gets
contaminated by wood, metal, or other organic material. In addition,
most people would not seek medical treatment for minor wounds.
Farm work offers many opportunities for injuries, but most children
are usually immunized before entering elementary school (the nurse
should always ask). Persons with deep cuts from industrial accidents
are more likely to present to the ED for treatment. Neonatal tetanus
is more likely to occur in underdeveloped countries related to poor
hygienic conditions during birth.
◉ A healthy but anxious 24-year-old college student reports tingling
sensations, palpitations, and sore chest muscles. Deep, rapid
