A cardiac monitor alarm sounds, and a nurse
notes a straight line on the monitor screen.
The nurse immediately: - CORRECT ANSWER:
B. Assesses the sq client.
Rationale: If a monitor alarm sounds, the
nurse should first assess the clinical status of
the client to see whether the problem is an
actual dysrhythmia or a malfunction of the
monitoring system. Asystole should not be
mistaken for an unattached
electrocardiogram wire. If the client is alert
and the client's status is stable, the problem
is likely an unattached cardiac lead or wire.
Calling a code and obtaining a rhythm strip
from the monitor device are unnecessary if
the client's condition is stable.

the unit, the nurse first: - CORRECT ANSWER:
C. Attaches the child to a pulse oximeter.
Rationale: To adequately determine whether
the child is getting enough oxygen, the nurse
attaches the child to a pulse oximeter. The
pulse oximeter will then provide ongoing
information on the child's oxygen level. The
child is also immediately attached to a
cardiorespiratory monitor to provide early
identification of periods of apnea and
bradycardia. Next the nurse performs an
assessment, including the child's
temperature and weight, and asks the
parents about the child. An antibiotic may be
prescribed, but the child's airway status must
be assessed first.

A client arrives in the emergency department
for treatment of a surface injury sustained
when sand blew into the eye. Which action
does the nurse take first? - CORRECT
ANSWER: A. Assessing the client's vision.
Rationale: When a client has sustained a
surface injury of the eye as a result of the
introduction of a foreign body, the nurse
must first assess visual acuity. The eye is
then assessed for corneal abrasions; this is
followed by irrigation with sterile normal
saline
