1. The nurse is caring for four clients. Which client should the nurse assess first?
A client awaiting discharge teaching
A client with new-onset shortness of breath and an oxygen saturation of 88%
A client requesting pain medication
A client whose family has a question about visiting hours
B is correct. Airway and breathing take priority. The client with new dyspnea and hypoxia is the most physiologically unstable and must be assessed first.
2. A nurse prepares to give regular insulin at 0730 for a client who eats breakfast at 0800, knowing regular insulin has an onset of about 30 minutes. What does timing the dose this way prevent?
Hyperglycemia later in the afternoon
Hypoglycemia by aligning the insulin onset with food intake
Lipodystrophy at the injection site
Long-term insulin resistance
B is correct. Timing insulin so its onset and peak coincide with food intake prevents hypoglycemia between administration and the meal.
