The nurse has been assigned to provide care for four clients on the day shift. After hearing the 1500 hand-off report, which client does the nurse prioritize to see first?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Tachycardia and restlessness post-liver biopsy suggest possible internal bleeding, a life-threatening complication requiring immediate assessment. Pain, diarrhea, and minor drainage are less urgent.
