The nurse is caring for a group of clients. Which client should the nurse assess first?

Answer Choices:

A. A client with coronary artery disease reporting chest pressure ✓ Correct Answer

B. A client with hypertension reporting fatigue in the morning

C. A client with hyperlipidemia who has scheduled medications due

D. A client with heart failure who has 1+ edema in the lower extremities

Correct Answer:

A client with coronary artery disease reporting chest pressure

Rationale:

● Chest pressure in a client with coronary artery disease (CAD) may indicate myocardial ischemia or infarction, which is life-threatening and demands immediate assessment and intervention.

● The nurse should promptly obtain vital signs, administer oxygen if indicated, and perform an ECG to evaluate cardiac rhythm and ischemic changes.

● Early recognition and treatment reduce myocardial damage and improve survival outcomes.

● Other clients listed are stable, whereas chest pressure represents a potential emergency requiring first priority.
