    Question: 1 of 43Ati Maternal Newborn Rn Proctored Exam
    A nurse is caring for a client who was injured by a blast of high-order explosives. Medics report secondary injuries from the explosion. The nurse anticipates what type of injuries?
    Explanation
    Choice A reason: Assisting a client with a bed bath who has a history of falls. While assisting with a bed bath is important, the task is not urgent compared to others that may affect the immediate health and safety of the client. Prioritizing tasks with potential immediate health risks should come first. Choice B reason: Providing a snack to a diabetic client who is feeling lightheaded. Providing a snack to a diabetic client who is feeling lightheaded should be prioritized. Lightheadedness in diabetic clients can indicate hypoglycemia, which requires immediate attention to prevent further complications. Addressing this issue promptly helps stabilize the client's condition. Choice C reason: Feeding a client who has bilateral casts due to upper arm fractures. Feeding a client with bilateral casts is important for ensuring they receive adequate nutrition. However, this task is less urgent than addressing a potential hypoglycemic event in a diabetic client who is feeling lightheaded. Therefore, it should be prioritized after more critical tasks. Choice D reason: Ambulating a postoperative client for the first time. Ambulating a postoperative client is essential for preventing complications such as blood clots and promoting recovery. However, it is not as urgent as addressing the immediate needs of a diabetic client experiencing potential hypoglycemia.
